Home Sweet Solar Home – Making Homes Better With Solar Technology

Executive Summary about Solar Home by Anne Clarke

By now many people know it is possible to generate energy without the use of dwindling traditional resources. This stimulated atmospheric cycle is the product of a solar biosphere that remains in constant, gradual motion. You can draw energy directly from the sunlight, you can save money on energy costs, and you can be a big part of the effort to protect our planet. Remember, though, solar panels are not the only type of solar technology available that can harvest a decent alternative to electricity from the sun. There are wind turbines, solar panels, biospheres, and many other innovative solar power mechanisms that have made headway in an extreme scientific objective to help protect the earth. Despite what many people might believe, there are solar solutions available as alternative energy sources that virtually anyone can choose over electrical energy. Soon construction companies for homes, office buildings, apartment complexes, and more will adopt new methods of design that will dovetail more easily with solar technology.

Solar Applications

June 21, 2011 By: Admin Category: Solar Power

Solar Energy Applications

Solar energy technologies use energy from the sun to produce heat, light, hot water, electricity, and even cooling, for homes, commercial and industrial.

There are a variety of technological applications that have been developed to take advantage of solar energy. Technology can be read further below.

Photovoltaics System

Solar cells work by converting sunlight directly into electricity. The electrons in the semiconductor material, the material used to capture sunlight, will move when the sun’s energy in the form of photons hit it. Solar energy is forcing the electrons to move, occur continuously, and consequently there is also a continuous electricity production. Process, which turns sunlight (photons) into electricity (voltage), called the photovoltaic effect.

Solar Cell Module

Solar cells are usually organized into modules that each module can consist of 40 solar cells. Some modules can be arranged to form a PV line fitted with a fixed angle facing south. Or even could be placed in a sun-tracking device, to get more solar energy throughout the day. Several rows of PV could produce enough power for a house. As for industrial applications or power companies, hundreds of lines of PV can be linked to form one large PV systems and sufficient to meet the electricity needs.

Thin Film Solar Cell

Thin film solar cells use several layers of semiconductor material with a thickness in the micrometer scale. Technology allows to create solar cells integrated into rooftops to the skylights. Even solar cells are designed for applications having the same power with actual roof.

Solar Wind Turbines

Heat Waver – A Solar Powered Wind Turbine

Usually, solar power and wind turbine stands apart. But unlike this one, called Heat WAVER and created by University of Liverpool (led by Dr. Joe King), it combines traditional turbines with photovoltaic technology. The idea is quite simple, they just design a wind turbine with rotor blades covered with solar panels.

But the team has faced problems. Preliminary computer simulations have found that turbines installed with solar panels will cause blinding beams of light shoot across the surrounding area. There are real fears that the turbines could potentially blind pilots and people who live nearby. Not only that, but on a very hot day, turbines will produce solar rays that can make the buildings on fire if it is concentrated.

Their solution is to design colored solar panels that do not reflect the sun’s beam.

Solar Wind by Francesco Colarossi, Giovanna Saracino and Luisa Saracino

To build a big wind power generator needed a large enough space to put many large-sized turbines.

Designer Francesco Colarossi, Giovanna Saracino and Luisa Saracino have a solution for this problem by utilizing the empty space below the flyover. This concept is called “Solar Wind.”

Wind Generators As Your Energy Source

Many people have started to install wind turbines, wishing to lower their bills for electricity, and in some way help make the environment safer while saving on non-renewable sources of energy. You need some knowledge before taking your various tools and purchasing your other needs for making a wind generator.

Whether you are installing a self-made or a commercial generator, you need to make sure you have the optimal location for it. You will need a place where trees and buildings are not obstructing the air flow.

If you happen to be living on a farm, obstacles probably aren’t a factor and the view of your neighbors is no concern. However when you live within the boundaries of a city, it can be a lot more difficult to install a wind generator.

The wind towers are so tall that they can be dangerous in storms and high winds, so this could impact the community. Consult not only your local authority but also your neighbors before putting one on your property. Of course you always need to consult for the county or city codes.

You have a few choices for the exact spot for your wind tower. The top of your house could be a great location or if you own enough land you can set the tower away from the house. In a small town, numerous wind generators can be installed in a common area for the whole community. So everyone can benefit from lower utility bills, and you do not have to worry about the towers getting blown over in a storm.

You could also look into other forms of renewable energy to run your house. If you have enough sun in your area, consider installing solar panels as a back up for your wind generator.

You can read more from Steven C. Jones on his blog about wind generators and renewable energy.
