Quelle est l'efficacité de l'énergie solaire?

Je suis très préoccupé par le réchauffement climatique, et quand je serai grand (je suis seulement quatorze) Je prévois d'utiliser l'énergie solaire pour alimenter ma maison (Et j'espère que quand je serai il est de coutume). Quelle est l'efficacité de l'énergie solaire? Combien de pieds carrés qu'il faudrait pour alimenter une maison 2000 pied carré? Combien cela coûterait-il?

Commentaire à «Ed», a ajouté ... Il existe deux types principaux de l'énergie solaire. Un produit de l'électricité, l'autre produit de la chaleur. Le type électrique sont appelés "photovoltaïque", le type de chaleur sont "Thermique". Photovoltaïque ne sont pas actuellement très efficace, la conversion de moins de 15% de l'énergie du soleil en électricité, mais au moment où vous construisez, ils devraient être mieux et moins cher. Solaire thermique est beaucoup plus efficace, surtout si vous l'utilisez pour chauffer votre eau, parce que le système fonctionne toute l'année. Le chauffage domiciliaire n'est pas aussi bonne, parce que l'hiver n'est pas le bon moment pour recueillir solaire. Lorsque vous concevez votre maison, vous pouvez profiter de "passive" solaire, qui est essentiellement de mettre un grand nombre de bonnes fenêtres sur le côté sud (côté nord ou si vous êtes au sud de l'équateur!) et laisser le soleil briller en hiver Ces fenêtres doivent être très bonne, ou un isolant pour les couvrir à jour et la nuit trouble ou ils gagneront de l'énergie toute la journée, avant de perdre tout cela pendant la nuit. Comme autant que votre maison va, ce n'est pas tellement une question de comment elle est grande, que la façon dont il est bien isolé. Si vous "super isolation", vous aurez besoin de très peu de chauffage ou de refroidissement de l'énergie. L' les autres frais que vous aurez est pour des choses comme les ordinateurs, les réfrigérateurs, téléviseurs, systèmes de son, lumières, ventilateurs, matériel de cuisine et de chauffage de l'eau. En choisissant le plus efficace, vous pouvez réduire la taille de l'installation photovoltaïque dont vous auriez besoin, et en utilisant un chauffage solaire de l'eau se chargera de 50% du montant annuel avec la technologie actuelle pour environ $ 3500. Un système photovoltaïque pour gérer tous les vos besoins en électricité serait très coûteux aujourd'hui, dans la gamme de 10.000 $ à 20.000 $, mais ce coût va continuer à baisser, et au moment où vous le construire devrait être plus proche de $ 5000. Hey Ed .... Je ne sais pas quand vous avez acheté votre système, ou ce que d'autres coûts ont été associés avec lui ... mais les systèmes de 6KW ne coûtent pas plus ... ce 40K de Solar Aujourd'hui "Une garantie de 25 ans accompagne l' panneaux Sharp. En 2003, nous avons payé 18.000 $, qui comprenait les huit batteries, deux onduleurs, le matériel, 6.000 watts de panneaux solaires et du travail .".... et le roi solaire vend un "ensemble de la maison" forfait pour 11.000 $ ... mais ils ne disent pas comment elle est grande. La maison moyenne en Californie, utilise environ 7000 kW par mois ... donc, pour obtenir que beaucoup vont être plus coûteux. Notre jeune ami est ici penser à l'avenir. Si une maison est située à droite et bien conçus, puis les appareils les plus efficaces et l'éclairage est sélectionné, il serait facile de bien vivre sur la moitié de celle 7000KW. Bonne chance, et bonne réflexion!

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.

Solar Power in Germany $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Germany is the worlds top photovoltaics (PV) installer, accounting for almost half of the global solar power market in 2007. The country has a feedin tariff for renewable electricity, which requires utilities to pay customers a guaranteed rate for any solar power they feed into the grid. Germans installed about 1,300 megawatts of new PV capacity in 2007, up from 850 megawatts in 2006, for a cumulative total exceeding 3,830 megawatts. Germany added a further 2 GW in 2008 and 2.5 GW in 2009 taking the total to 8.3 GW by end of 2009. As capacity has risen, installed PV system costs have been cut in half between 1997 and 2007. Solar power now meets about 1 percent of Germanys electricity demand, a share that some market analysts expect could reach 25 percent by 2050.

Solar Power in the United Kingdom $76.47 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Until July 2008, solar power in the United Kingdom (photovoltaic electricity generation) was relatively commercially unattractive due to the moderate level of insolation, cheap grid electricity (compared to other European countries), and low financial incentives from government. In particular, net metering was not readily available, due to disagreement on what to do with the VAT. In 2006, the United Kingdom had installed 12.5 MWp of photovoltaic capacity represented just 0.3 of the European total of 3.4GWp. By way of comparison, due to their plans to phase out nuclear power there is a growing capacity in Germany (due to a Feedin Tariff program), where 3.0 GWp had been installed by the end of 2006 (90 of all European capacity). In contrast, solar thermal capacity to supply hot water was expected to grow to 25 MWth in 2006. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
