With energy sources depleting at a rate faster than they are being built, it is only wise that we use the abundant energy available for free – the solar energy. Apart from the easy availability, solar energy helps control environmental pollution. Most of us shy away from installing solar power solutions at home thinking them to be expensive and cumbersome. …

Is a Solar Energy Home for You? Have you ever considered the benefits of a solar energy home? Will your grandchildren will have the energy they need to maintain our current standard of living? Do you just want to reduce your dependence on non-renewable resources like foreign oil? Benefits of Solar Energy Solar energy homes provide their owners benefits others …

When talking about green energy, what are we really talking about? In a nutshell, green energy is energy that comes from any one of the following renewable energy sources: wind, Sun/Solar, water/ hydroelectric, geothermal, biofuels and biomass energy. There is no way that you are not going to find some form of green energy in play anywhere in the world …

More people are becoming interested in the advantages of Home Solar Power Systems. Using one of these systems is the only way to gain your independence from local utilities which supply electrical energy for your home. By installing solar panels on your house and the generator needed to convert sunlight into usable energy, you’ll never have to worry about power …

Many people are starting to switch their power to solar power since the finite fuel is starting to run out and become costly. In fact, solar power offers lots of benefits rather than the finite doesn’t produce harmful emissions or pollution. It will charge you lots of money for heating a swimming pool when you decide not to apply the …

This article will describe how solar energy is created and cover some of its basic principles. Solar energy consists of the light and heat emitted by the sun, in the form of electromagnetic radiation. With today’s technology, we are able to capture this radiation and turn it into usable forms of solar energy – such as heating or electricity. Although …

Slip back in time 30 years and you’ll see that the green movement was positively anti-nuclear. It seems strange that 30 years on some of the very same people are putting their hopes on nuclear power to prevent global warming. It may be that we have little choice other than to go Nuclear but we have to ask the question …

So yesterday we featured some news and video abut the upcoming Aptera electric car which is a real head turner on the road in that it departs from conventional car design to the point of being almost completely unique. It bears further review. So today we feature a wrap up of various videos on the Aptera development. Aptera Electric Car …

Do you know how solar energy works actually? Some people do not care too much on how solar energy works and it may happen on you too. Nevertheless, it will be very useful to know how solar energy works for humans. Solar power is probably the cleanest and most viable form of renewable energy. The advantages of solar energy beats …

It has being observed that the consumption of non renewable sources has caused more environmental damage than any other human activity. Electricity generated from fossil fuels such as coal and crude oil has led to high concentrations of harmful gases in the atmosphere. This has in turn led to many problems being faced today such as ozone depletion and global …

A new alternative energy solution is has been put to the test, and it’s been given the go-ahead for production in Australia. It’s a solar chimney. This new solar power station is based on solar tower technology designed in Germany. An incredible thing about this new technology is the simplicity of its design, and its ingenious use of basic principles …

Imagine a T-shirt that runs you iPod, a pair of jeans that recharges your cell phone, and a beach umbrella that runs a TV. Sound far-fetched? Okay, I will agree with you that it does. Nevertheless, research into photovoltaics and solar energy has reached a point where these are definite possibilities. What Are Organic Photovoltaics? Organic Photovoltaics, or OPV for …

Evan from Solar City was at the house the other day doing our evaluation of the structure of our house and roof for our solar power system install. This is the next phase in the project for getting our solar installed. That is Evan on the ladder in the image below. His job is come out to our house and …

Whenever the sun is out, your home’s roof is exposed to home solar power. Why not harness that energy, reduce your electric bill and limit the amount of carbon dioxide you add to the atmosphere each day? Depending on where you live, your roof’s orientation, and the load your roof can bear, mounting photovoltaic cells (PVs) on your roof could …

People can obtain lots of advantages of solar energy. Solar energy actually converts the sun’s rays into electricity with the help of solar panels. It provides us the cleanest energy since it does not produce any harmful emissions. Furthermore, solar energy is an inexhaustible source of power. As long as the sun still shines, we can get the advantages of …

The New Stimulus Plan For Wind Power Wind Power In the coming year when the new U.S. administration takes control over the economy. We will see a stimulus that will include green energy steps toward wind energy . Since our demand for energy efficiency will continue to get stronger, eliminating carbon dioxide emissions will require adopting green energy practices. However, …

Photovoltaic cells—those black squares an array of which comprises a solar panel—are getting more efficient, and gradually less expensive, all the time, thanks to ever-better designs which all them to focus the gathered sunlight on a more and more concentrated point. The size of the cells is decreasing as their efficiency rises, meaning that each cell becomes cheaper to produce …

Thin Film Solar Panels are made up of a lightweight and flexible material which can be rolled up and easily transported. Thus, they are very useful as a source of portable solar power. The following are some basic facts about Thin Film Solar Panels: Any person who has ever used a solar-powered calculator has had “hands on” experience with Thin …

It will be very helpful if people have better understanding about “what is solar energy”. It may help ,many people to find a new way to overcome the problem of fuel energy shortage. What’s more, let’s find the answer of “what is solar energy” in this article. Actually, solar energy is the sun’s power exploitation. That is the first answer …
