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.

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.

The Basic Facts Of Solar Battery

Solar power is an effective way to harness the power of the sun, the plants have been doing this for millions of years. Solar energy is cheap, reliable and can produce tremendous power, but only in the daytime. This is the main problem of solar energy utilization. The average home will use less power during the day, and much smaller in the summer which is the peak power (fastest time) for solar panels to generate energy. To be effective this power should be stored.
One popular way to store solar power is to connect the solar panels to the electrical grid, which effectively turn it into a battery. This allows excess energy to be sent back to the electric company, actually make the electric meter run backwards. At night, the power drawn from the grid as usual. This is only as reliable as the existing grid. Each power outages could still affect these solar panels, but no rechargeable batteries should be used.
Rechargeable batteries are known for having a short age, and expensive. They also have low power flow for a long time with good capacity, or they have a high power electrical short time with the poor capacity. Typical batteries, especially lithium ion, has a high capacity to store power, but provides a weak output and recharge slowly. An ideal solar battery will be able to charge quickly, has a high density to save power and can emit as much power as needed. This ideal combination is something that no battery has been able to do until now. It can only be done through the study of nanotechnology.
Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed a way to create a very powerful battery, the dense refill using nanotechnology. Individual parts, which looks surprisingly like a photovoltaic panel is only a thousand times smaller, is assembling his own, self-replication, and aligning itself too. There is no mechanical process can achieve anything similar small, which also contributes to their relatively low cost. They are still in the testing stage and court, but should look widely and production operations in a year. Able to store the power created from sun and wind will soon make fossil fuels obsolete and mysterious.

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

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.

The High Costs of Solar Electric Power
Executive Summary about Solar Electric by Klaus H Hemsath

Promotion of solar power generation is booming. Why are solar farms built when financial data clearly show that solar power is still the most expensive electricity generation technology available?
Solar power plant developers and marketers obviously know that they need to lower costs. Cost reduction is, however, expensive and takes time. There are two major technologies for solar energy conversion. Electricity production with steam is a very mature technology. The other technology is the direct, photovoltaic conversion of sunlight into electricity. This technology will most likely become the dominant solar electric power generating technology – eventually. The concentrated sunshine creates very high surface temperatures on the solar panel. To save solar panel area and make the solar panel price competitive, one must cool the surface of the solar panel very efficiently to prevent it from melting and destruction.
Present production costs for generating electricity with solar panels are hovering around $0.50 per kWh. Right now, solar power does not yet make economical sense.
None of the available technologies using renewable energy can compete with the cost of electricity generation from coal.
The technologies for generating electricity with solar power, wind power, marine power, and geothermal power are very well understood. At present, a respectable number of windmill farms and solar panel farms are being installed. Solar power does not make economical sense, yet. A random sampling of recent announcements of solar farm installations reveals that system installation costs are in the $3000 to $7500 per kW installed capacity. These plant costs loosely translate into a cost of producing electric power at $0.30 to $0.60 per kWh. This very unfavorably compares to the cost of electricity generation by any other technology.
As long as solar power constitutes only a very small fraction of overall electric power generation, the additional costs of storing intermittently produced electric power are not yet of concern. If the US is going to depend significantly on the intermittent production of electricity from solar power and wind power, it must begin to develop storage technologies for huge amounts of electric energy. Intermittent, renewable energies and electric energy storage are inseparable.
The Solar Electric Panel – An Inexpensive Way to Generate Electricity
Executive Summary about Solar Electric by Dan A Swanson
The solar electric panels, generally called solar photovoltaic panels, are made of a set of treated silicon cells arranged in a series array. They produce electricity on being exposed to the sunlight. A small solar electric panel will lessen the energy bills considerably, while a big solar panel will in fact budge the meter backwards. The contemporary solar electric panels are simple to install and are modular. The solar electric panels transform the sunlight to DC (direct current) electricity. Buy any of these solar electric panels according to your requirements.
Solar electric panels are the perfect answer to our increasing electricity bills and ever increasing reliance on depleting conventional energy resources. Make a one time investment in solar panels and generate free electricity for years to come. Solar electric panels are the need of the hour.

Solar House Plans – The New Wave Of Our Future
Executive Summary about Solar House by Ernest Jarquio

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

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.
