... solar power Attention Homeowner’s: Solar Power is the wave of the future! What if I told you that the latest innovations in solar power can save you money? Innovations are the applications of better solutions and solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. I have compiled a list of the latest innovations for you the consumer to decide whether solar power is the right for you. The three innovations are thinner film cells, micro-inverters, and racking options. These new technologies will make solar power cheaper and more affordable for you to obtain. These new innovations will save you money because they are much cheaper for you to purchase. They beat out the old power panels which cost the consumer well over 10,000 dollars to install a basic generating system, which really didn’t save the consumer any money unless you planned to stay 30 years or more in your home. Not to mention that solar power is much more efficient and is better for the environment than normal electricity. It is said that in the next decade at least 20% of our power will be supplied by solar power. One of the most promising technologies is ultrathin film that can reduce the amount of material in solar cells by up to a hundred fold. When you picture solar panels what picture comes to mind? Large black cells with an aluminum framing that have been used for decades. (Dan Oko). The ultra thin film solar uses a completely different take on solar cells...

...intriguing law. That’s because it keeps you tracing back energy to the beginning of time. I’ll explain briefly the first two laws of thermodynamics. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be destroyed nor created. It can only be transferred or converted. An example of how it’s applied to human life would be electricity. The computer im using to write this or you to read this is run by energy. The computer itself isn’t made of energy. The energy or electricity was transferred from somewhere else. The first law of thermodynamics basically explains that this energy had to come from somewhere. We all know that our computer is powered by electricity. The question where did it come from. If you aren’t already aware it came from a power plant. Let’s say it was a hydroelectric plant. A hydro plant is confined in a dam which blocks a river. Rivers contain kinetic energy which means its flowing. What the dam is doing is “converting” that energy into potential energy by blocking it. Things in motion stay in motion and the river wants to flow but the dam is storing the potential energy. That energy in the long run is transferred to your computer by a bunch of machines using the stored and released energy. The second law of thermodynamics states that not all energy can be used. One thing to remember is energy is slowly lost over time. Let’s take the example of having your car break down or run out of gas and you need to push it down the street to the gas station. As you apply...

...resources, so is interest growing in environmentally friendly products and services. For example, the popularity of green cleaning products has increased in recent years. Nontoxic, biodegradable cleaning products are safer for use in the home meaning they are less likely to cause health problems. They also keep harmful chemicals out of the environment. Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) are another popular eco-friendly product; compared to traditional, incandescent light bulbs, CFLs use way less electricity. Here are a four of the many types of green technology used today; green energy, vehicles, building and appliances. Green energy as of today is produced by these forms of energy; solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. Solar power or solar energy is a technology that converts the power of the sun into usable energy.

Nevertheless, investment in largescale Solar Power Generators (SPGs) is largely impeded by the intermittent nature of solar power. Since the electricity market has a critical responsibility to maintain the reliability of energy supply, the SPG can be registered only as the market semi-scheduled generator (AEMC, 2011). This option excludes the advantages of providing baseload supply, which in turn impedes efficient market contracting for SPGs...

...Lloyd Alter Technology / Solar Technology September 21, 2010 Inhabitat calls it the "World's first solar powered air conditioning unit", as does the Shandong Vicot Air Conditioning Company. That is a rather grand statement, given that another Chinese company, BROAD, has been doing it for years , and there are direct solar powered air conditioners installed from Brooklyn to Dubai. From the looks of it and the description, it appears to be a direct-fired absorption system, where the reflector supplies heat that vaporizes a refrigerant, which absorbs heat when it condenses. Propane fridges work this way. According to SolarServer, "The company claims an 85% thermal cooling efficiency and the ability to deliver 24-hour continuous cooling, heating and hot water. If there is not enough sun, it can run on natural gas. Since the unit generates heat, it can also supply hot water and heating. Unfortunately, it does not appear to be sized for domestic use. More at Inhabitat If It's The First, What Are These? Solar Air Powered Air Conditioning Comes To Dubai One of the reasons we have been so dubious about Dubai is the energy consumption required to keep people cool there; they even air condition the beaches. But if there is one thing they have lots of, it is sunlight; that's why we have always considered solar powered air conditioning the holy grail that will make places from Dubai to Phoenix sustainable. 1.
