Memorising the Planets of the Solar System
[ad_1] When I was a student, I had a tough time memorising Planets in order. I would like to share an effective method of memorising nine planets from the book ‘Master Your Memory’ by Tony Buzan. First write down the names of all Planets of our Solar System on a piece of paper. Now check…
The Basics of Windmill and Solar Panel Home Energy Systems
[ad_1] Windmill and solar panel energy systems are examples of renewable energy sources. Renewable energy sources are becoming popular options for home energy systems for the potential cost savings. Wind and solar systems capture naturally occurring, renewable energy and convert it for electrical use. The federal government offers tax incentives for windmill and solar panel…
Solar Energy Pros and Cons
[ad_1] There is no single “perfect” energy producing technology. All of them have advantages and disadvantages, even solar power. Let’s take a look at both sides of the issue for solar power. Solar Energy Advantages: 1. Solar energy is a renewable resource, for all practical purposes. 2. Except for the processes involved in manufacturing the…
Practical Uses of the Solar Ham Radio
[ad_1] Introduction Much information has been written about portable solar power. The same is true for the amateur radio hobby. However, there is not much information available for the solar ham radio enthusiast. Understanding how to size equipment for a specific need is key to insuring the right equipment is placed into service. A central…
What Does WP Mean in Solar Panel Technology Or Ratings on a Solar Panel?
[ad_1] If you’re upgrading or thinking of upgrading to a solar powered energy system for your home then you’re probably seen the designation “WP” on certain components. This marking usually has a number next to it and a rating for the system. This has caused many people some confusion as they aren’t sure what exactly…
How To Get Your Solar Energy Tax Credit
[ad_1] There are a lot of good reasons to go solar for your home or business. Many Bay Area homeowners have a solar system installed to protect themselves and their families against rising energy rates. While it is difficult to forecast exactly how much electricity costs will rise, or how quickly, one thing is certain…
Thermal Energy: Tips For Buying Your Solar Power System
[ad_1] Buying a solar power system for home use is an exciting experience. However, this decision of going for thermal energy shouldn’t be made in haste. Before you buy a solar power system for your home, take into account all the important factors. You can use the following tips as a guide. Recommendations If some…
How Does Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Work?
[ad_1] Concentrating solar power works by focusing the sun’s energy and creating heat. This heat is then used to turn conventional generators much like the way steam generates electricity. There are three main types of CSPs: parabolic troughs, power towers, and dish engine systems. Parabolic troughs: In this type of system, solar collectors reflect and…
Solar Cell Panels And The Photovoltaic Effect
[ad_1] How does one obtain electricity from the sun and what is the Photovoltaic effect? The sun is made from photons, which make solar energy, and so when silicon semiconductors are exposed to the rays of the sun, they capture and release electricity, and this process is called the Photovoltaic effect. When these photons strike…
Why Do We Need Solar Energy?
[ad_1] People charged with governance of providing energy nowadays still do not see the benefit of solar energy over other conventional methods of supplying power. Solar energy is a renewable energy source fuelled by the radiating sunlight from the Sun. There are several strong reasons to support why solar energy would top other conventional or…
