Solar Products


solar products Solar Products

Solar products are easily installed and do not require any wire hookup. You can move them around as the seasons change or as you experiment with different looks to your garden, paths, flowerbeds, pool, deck or dock. Consider solar powered path lights for a beautiful incandescent effect on your garden path. How about some gentle solar garden lights for the highlights in your garden – or a cluster of solar light sticks for a beautiful effect. Solar patio lights make your outdoor gathering space warm and inviting and most come with both amber and white light settings. Solar pool lights create an exquisite effect as they float on either pool or pond, throwing a soft glow onto the water’s surface. Solar power can also do the job when more direct lighting is required: for instance a solar flood light provides strong illumination for security and solar post lights provide a classic look but can also provide strong white light if needed.

Solar products are innovative mechanisms that help conserve energy, thus, help maintain the ecosystem. Solar products are environmentally friendly and are usually cost effective as well. Today, there are several solar power products in the market for our home and office use. Solar products include items such as solar hot water heaters, solar heating systems, solar panels, solar flashlights, small radios, solar calculators, solar battery chargers, solar lanterns, solar lighting, solar car batteries and much more.

Solar products are perfect for campers, hikers or anyone who spends lots of time outdoors. Thin-film photovoltaic technology is perfect for charging many consumer products, solar cell designs are a proven success currently being used in space, military equipment, and large grid systems.

Solar products are currently growing at over 25% annually. Sales of thin film solar products are growing at over 33% annually. Most analysts project that thin film solar markets will continue to grow faster than traditional silicon wafer markets. In order for the solar industry to supply the amount of solar product needed to meet market demand, exponential growth rates will become endemic for at least the next decade.

New Solar Technology Trends Around the World

Executive Summary about Solar Technology by Philip Richards

solar technology1 Solar Technology

In the business of solar energy, the U.S. has not been the biggest buyer of solar power. While the U.S. does quite well exporting solar panels and solar technology, there are many Americans who still find the cost of panels very prohibitive. As the price of solar energy decreases, Europe has had a much higher demand for solar power than anywhere else in the world. Many European universities and campuses have rebuilt their dorms to run off solar energy. Most water heaters in Europe are solar-powered, even if the home doesn’t have a full solar panel system.

In Europe, it’s not just small residential power systems that are leading the way in solar energy dependence. Specifically, Italy, Greece and the Czech Republic are the newest customers of solar power systems. These countries have begun to purchase so much solar energy that their borders have seen changes in tariffs for solar panels. Japan, who’s also been at the forefront of solar panel imports, has picked up solar panel buying as the cost of gas and electricity rises. There are entire neighborhoods in Japan outfitted with residential solar power panels. For example, the neighborhood of Iwaki New Town has about 46 homes outfitted with full private solar power panels. Japan also uses solar energy in surprising places. Japan is the only country to power most of its vending machines with solar energy. Sharp, one of the largest solar panel producing companies in Japan estimates that by 2010, Japan will produce 4.8 million kWh of solar energy.

The Race For New Solar Technology Is On
Executive Summary about Solar Technology by Winifred Churchill

Companies around the world are beginning to seriously consider the POWER of solar power.

  • In Mexico a solar dish is being tested. The expanding and contracting hydrogen gas drives pistons which power a generator which creates electricity.
  • A new thin-film technology is being used on the windows of high-rise apartment buildings and skyscrapers to collect the sun’s power for use in the buildings. It is attractive and not nearly as expensive as regular solar panels.
  • Thin-film is attracting major manufacturers around the world.
  • New solar technology is using crystalline silicon cells for solar power panels.

One criticism of solar energy is that it cannot be relied upon for a steady supply of energy, but there are projects underway which are addressing that issue. In short, solar technology is going the way of the computer industry or cell phones. Now you get the same functionality available in personal computers on tiny cell phones. The new silicon cells for solar panels may bring a similar revolution to solar power making it a reliable, clean source of energy.

Executive Summary about Solar Film by Christine Douglas

solar film Solar Film

You feel compelled to use solar energy, but at this time you simply aren’t in the position to install a solar power system in your home for one reason or another. Solar film for windows is a cost-effective, yet efficient way to participate in passive solar heating.

Solar film for windows is a light film that is applied to the windows in your home. It rejects 60% of the sun’s rays coming through your home. The first reason is energy.

Solar film for windows is great for many other reasons. It blocks 99% of UV rays, keeping your furniture and home décor safe from fading. The film also protects against weather damage.

Solar film for windows is widely available. You can purchase frosted solar film, creating the look of frosted glass at a fraction of the cost.

Using Window Film and Shades to Protect Your Home Interior From the Sun
Executive Summary about Solar Film by David Kraft

Home builders are reporting a higher frequency of larger and higher quantities of windows in new homes and home remodels being done. Rays from the sun can cause glare, hot spots, and fading to household items. One way to prevent these things from happening is to add a layer of window film to your windows. Window film can help to improve heating and cooling efficiency and block UV rays that cause fading to furniture, carpet, and other interior possessions. Film is available in tints that are not drastically change the color of the window but will still accomplish the goals of blocking the sun’s harmful rays. The key to window films is to have them properly installed by a specialist to ensure multiple years of functionality.

Solar screen shades are an alternative to window film that can accomplish the same things. They are available in varying levels of opacity and are available in motorized models that completely roll up nearly out of sight to allow homeowners to completely enjoy their large windows when they want to. Solar screen shades are simple, yet attractive ways to protect your homes interior and are available in a variety of colors that will enhance the appeal of any interior, regardless of design preference.

Choosing larger or higher quantities of windows in your home opens you up to more risk for faded interior and decreases in your home’s heating and cooling system efficiency.

Solar Power Home Benefits
Executive Summary about Solar Homes by Malc Moore

The subject of the solar power home is becoming more and more popular in world today. There are lots of reasons for this which include, environmentall issues and fossil fuel shortages. So more and more individuals are checking out renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic power wich uses sun power to create electricity.

What Is classed as a solar powered home? A solar power home is a house which gets is electricity power supply by harnessing sun power and using photovoltaic power systems, rather than using the conventional form of electricity.

The solar power home benefits are:

  1. Solar power is actually cheaper.
  2. Its a fact Solar panels actually work better in winter, because of the huge temperature change in the weather.
  3. It does not need to be sunny outside for solar power to work efficiently, because solar panels use the changes in temperature in order to create electricity.

In the event of a black out, a solar power home will therefore not be unduly affected, what with a battery, that is almost constant charged by wind and solar power. Not only will the solar panels provide extra power to the electrical grid, they will even help to reduce the electricity shortage.

Solar House Plans – The New Wave Of Our Future

Executive Summary about Solar House by Ernest Jarquio

solar house Solar House

Environmentalists rejoice! What is this new technology that will help save the earth? Why, solar house plans of course.

What Are Solar House Plans?

Well, the new phase in home planning is the plan for a sun-powered home.

Environmentally-Friendly Materials

The designer begins by drawing out the floor plan, planing to use recycled materials, eco-friendly building supplies and Energy-Star electrical outlets. For instance, the concrete slab flooring stores solar heat during the sunny days, then releases it at night, keeping the house warm.

Insulation

The designer uses only eco-friendly items for these tasks, such as recycled wood and green material for the insulation. After all this is planned, they continue onward to Energy-Star appliances and other electronic devices.

Solar Panels

The other panels installed are the thermal water heaters, which provide hot water constantly for the entire home. This hot water is often more reliable than a traditional hot water heater, supplying plenty of heat for the laundry, kitchen and bath.

How to Plan Your House for the Sun
Executive Summary about Solar House by Naomi Kendell

Every house will gain heat throughout the day as the sun shines through its windows.

And during the night as the temperature drops, this same house will lose heat to the outside through its walls, windows and roof.

1. Orientation.

By facing your house to the south (in the northern hemisphere) you will gain the rays of the winter sun. Afternoon sun comes from the west, so rooms like the dining room and living room can be placed on this orientation. The southwest corner of the house will be the sunniest – winter and afternoon sun.

On the northern side of your house, place service rooms.

2. Window Sizing

Out of all the materials your house is made of, windows lose the most heat. There is a balance here, because windows allow sunlight into your house. However even triple glazed glass allows more heat to escape than a well insulated wall.

The first is where your windows face. If you have most of your windows on the northern side, these windows will not get much sun during winter. They will be losing heat, but not gaining solar energy.

There is an optimal ratio of windows:wall for every climate. For instance in temperate climates, a window to wall ration could be: 30% window area to 70% wall area. The other ratio is in windows and orientation.

3. Materials

For instance, highly insulated walls will keep the heat inside your house. When analyzing your heat loss through your windows, you can gain some leeway through insulation. This air forms and insulating layer, slowing down heat loss.

Another way to use materials in your solar house plan is to take advantage of heat storage. It is radiating heat. The floor is insulated underneath to prevent heat loss. A well designed thermal heat sink will stay warm all night long.

4. Shading

Shading is an important part of the solar house plan. This is important not only for heat gains, but for preventing heat gains. In temperate climates as well, shading can be used to keep summer sun out and let winter sun in.

Using our orientation principle: your house is facing south. During the winter the sun angles low and reaches far into the house. This same shading will allow winter sun into your house.

Your latitude effects the angle of the winter sun. In conclusion – solar house plans are a great way to design houses that are warm and comfortable to live in, and save you money off your heating and air conditioning bill.

Using Orientation, Window Placement, Materials and Shading, you can design a house that responds to its environment and creates its own micro-climate of comfort.

Solar Panel Installation – How to Do It

Executive Summary about Solar Installation by Gio Rigt

solar installation Solar Installation

Make sure you choose the perfect location for you solar panels. Nothing should block the solar panel from receiving sunlight. A little bit of shadow blocking the panels reduces the amount of energy the solar panel produces tremendously.

Place the posts first and attach metal rails to the posts on your roof. Attach solar panel mounts to the solar panels, the roof-ground mounts will suffice.

After installing the solar panels, connect them to the inverter. When it comes to inverters, the synchronous solar panel inverter is the best affordable choice.

The solar energy is stored in a battery, excess energy is sold back to the utility company. If there ever is a situation where you do not have enough energy for your house, the utility company will supply the energy through the solar panel converter.

You are done with your solar panel installation.

Solar Panels – Professional Installation Vs Do-It-Yourself
Executive Summary about Solar Installation by Tina Metcalf

There is a product available on the internet called Earth for Energy. For about $40, they will send you a PDF or Adobe file with information on how to make or build your own energy efficient green devices.

Supposedly, for a fraction of the retail costs, someone should be able to construct windmills, solar cell panels and other green related things to either augment your electrical consumption, or ultimately, get yourself off the grid completely. Thinking efficiency all around, it would be so much easier, and in the long run cost effective, to find reputable dealers that build and manufacture green technology, like solar cell panels.  My thought is this; go with a local solar installer (like Cooler Planet), let them sweat the details, add on a little at a time as your budget allows, and enjoy your life.
