Great Trends in Solar Panels and Solar Energy

The worldwide awareness and campaigning on the  threat of environmental imbalance and polluted energy resources has made public opinion in favour of safe and clean environment . The corporate and industrial sector is not averse to cause of environmental safety. This is reflected  from the new  technologies for alternative use of energy  resources. Solar energy is fast catching up as a most viable option of alternative energy owing to its non-polluting and inexhaustible  nature. Solar panel is a wonder-tool in this concern which is unleashing a silent revolution which is visible in various spectrum and colours.

Retail Houses Up-link With Solar Energy

Now  solar energy panels are not a object limited only to the vast farmhouses in the  countryside. The great idea of adopting the eco-friendly and economical solar energy has already dawned upon the minds of big corporate houses. This is attested by the view of solar panels spotting the rooftops of retail house buildings. A substantial reduction in the energy needs cost is assured in case of business houses who welcome the solar energy. In addition to cutting down the  tax bills , solar power is safe and human-friendly.

Solar Panels in Print Form

Now solar energy panels for harnessing the sunlight are also present in form of print sheets. This has been made possible by the efforts of Konarka Technologies in association with Massachusetts based  research  team. These panels have been framed on a  technology analogous to the  inkjet printing technology . Important thing  is that these panels can be mounted on any surface or printed directly onto a surface . This innovation is going to make the solar panel a light weight and easy to install tool unlike those bulky and heavy frames of solar panels commonly found.

Solar Energy Powered Mobile Phones

Soon it will be unnecessary to rely on th electrical charging of the cellular phones. The solar panel meant for powering the functioning of the mobile phone is built on the straps attached to the mobile phones. Such type of technology is at present initiated by Strap ya company with brand name Solar Charge EC.

Solar Panels to Power Space Vehicles

the latest state of the art technology research has made it reality to visualize the space travel without depending upon propellant fuel as energy source. The special purpose solar  panels in this case are based on silicon fusion linked amorphous material. An alteration in the existing norm of propellant based spacecraft engine is mandatory along with the compliance with solar panel system. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), New York reportedly have entered into  a contract with United Solar Ovonic in this concern.  Once completed the project will be  a great step in direction of clean and cost-effective space travel for astronomical purposes and airships.

Solar Panels on Fabrics

It is very interesting of thinking  clothes enabled with solar panels for using up the sunlight around. With the concerted   research work of Japanese scientists this is no less than a reality. The  solar panel laden fabrics are based on extremely thin solar cell panel and  render  the  properties like easily molding and colorfulness with equal aesthetic appeal as normal cloth.

Solar Tres Power Tower $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Solar Tres is a planned 15 MW power plant based on solar thermal energy. It is located west of the city of cija, in Andalusia, Spain. Solar Tres is based on the solar power tower concepts pioneered in the U.S.s Solar One and Solar Two demonstration projects. Solar Tres uses a molten salt as its working fluid, allowing it to be stored in the molten state for power generation at any time. The project, which has received a subsidy of five million Euro from the European Commission, makes use of the Solar Two technology tested in Barstow, California, but will be approximately three times the size. Solar Tres will make use of several advances in technology since Solar Two was designed and built. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Solar Power in Spain $90.81 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Spain is one of the most attractive countries for the development of solar energy, as it has more available sunshine than any other European country. The Spanish government is committed to achieving a target of 12 percent of primary energy from renewable energy by 2010 with an installed solar generating capacity of 3000 megawatts. Spain is the fourth largest manufacturer in the world of solar power technology and exports 80 percent of this output to Germany. Spain added a record 2 GW of solar power in 2008. Total Solar power in Spain was 3 GW by end of 2009. Solar energy has covered 2.8 of the electricity demand in 2009. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

It is the worlds most powerful solar power tower. The 20 megawatt solar power tower produces electricity with large movable mirrors called heliostats. Solar thermal energy (STE) is a technology for harnessing solar energy for thermal energy (heat). Solar thermal collectors are defined by the USA Energy Information Administration as low, medium, or hightemperature collectors. Low temperature collectors are flat plates generally used to heat swimming pools. Mediumtemperature collectors are also usually flat plates but are used for creating hot water for residential and commercial use. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Solar Power in the European Union $89.22 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Solar power consists of photovoltaic and solar thermal power. The need for the strategic development of photovoltaic systems in the EU has led to the creation of PVNET, a network that gathers representatives from all the sectors of the research and development community concerned with the photovoltaic solar energy industry (see solar cell). The network promotes communication between speakers through the organisation of specialised conferences, workshops and congresses. This interaction has led to the editing of a waybill, finished in 2003 with the aim of providing a solid basis for EU leaders and European citizens to base their decisions and policy making and in order to help reach the objective set by the European Commission to multiply the use of photovoltaic systems by thirty times by 2010.

Solar Power Satellite $52.65 In the quest for new and inexhaustible sources of energy, solar energy has become a promising contender. However, several factors prevent solar energy from falling freely into the Earths surface, leading to the concept of collecting solar energy in space and beaming the energy to receiving units on the ground. Studies to date have not identified any barriers with regard to technical feasibility, and discussions with a number of respected scientists were told there are no scientific breakthroughs required. Yet solar power satellites do represent very large engineering endeavor. There are serious technical, environmental, economic, and other issues which require technology verification for resolution. These 1979 Congressional hearings presented a wealth of information from technical societies, cognizant Federal agencies, environmental groups, and the originator of the concept. Author: U. S.

Solar Power Tower $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The solar power tower (also known as Central Tower power plants or Heliostat power plants or power towers) is a type of solar furnace using a tower to receive the focused sunlight. It uses an array of flat, movable mirrors (called heliostats) to focus the suns rays upon a collector tower. Early designs used these focused rays to heat water, and used the resulting steam to power a turbine. However, designs using liquid sodium in place of water have been demonstrated; this is a metal with high heat capacity, which can be used to store the energy before using it to boil water to drive turbines. These designs allow power to be generated when the sun is not shining. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
