Solar Energy benefits are many, but let’s first talk about where we are today. Ninety one percent of all of the electricity produced in the United States is a direct result of burning fossil fuels to operate and generate electric.

Fossil fuel has been used as an energy generator for as long as man has learned how to generate electricity. Fossil fuel has been here for years and when man started out utilizing these energy sources no one entertained the end result.

Fossil fuels are being depleted and will run out in the . The shortage in fossil fuel will have its affect on our day-to-day lives and in the majority of industries. Today we see many of these affects already, fossil fuel costs are raising and electricity is becoming even more expensive. Although fossil fuels are more scarce, the need for fossil fuels will still be here and will not decrease right away. To solve this shortage of fossil fuels we will need to look solar energy benefits.

Fortunately, renewable energy sources are raising in interest. For instance, locations with water- falls are making hydro-electric power plants. Areas with steady wind speed make use of wind generatorsthat change over the wind’s power into electricity.

solar power is also one of the energy sources that is rapidly increasing in popularity. The utilization of solar energy has steadily been growing.

Nowadays solar energy is widely utilized in the Unites States and the advantages are numerous. We have a free solar energy source, the sun, its life span is estimated to be another 5 billion years. It’s relatively sound to say, that we won’t run out!

Converting the sun’s Solar Energy

There are two ways of converting the sun’s solar energy. First is direct solar energy which involves only one conversion into a usable form.

For instance:

  • Sunshine hits the solar panel(s) or solar cell, changing it into electric.
  • Sun hits the surface of a solar thermal collector, converting into thermal energy, or better known as heat, which can be used to heat our homes, and water.
  • The second is indirect solar energy which calls for more than one conversion to reach a functional form. For instance:
  • Plants use photosynthesis to convert solar energy to chemical energy, which can be burned later as fuel to generate electrical energy (also known as bio-fuel technology).
  • Hydroelectric dams and wind turbines are indirectly supplied by solar energy through its interaction with the Earth’s atmosphere.

So, what are the main solar energy benefits?

  • It’s Pollution-free (Green).
  • Solar facilities require minimal maintenance.
  • It is almost never ending. As mentioned previously, most of the populated areas here on Earth, that can be reached by the sun.
  • It will slow up the depletion of fossil fuels
  • It will help to get rid of emissions created by burning fossil fuels.

When massive development of the use of solar energy is materialized, you can expect that each and every household in the world will be powered by solar energy. It is not just a pipe dream; it’s the change that we have to make, to make the world a better place. You can experience solar energy benefits today.

Why wait for your dreams. It now makes sense economicallyb>

Photon enhanced thermionic emission could double efficiency of solar cells

Engineers at Stanford have developed a process which can harness the light and heat of the sun simultaneously, which could lead to solar cells that are twice as efficient as those currently available. Called photon enhanced thermionic emission — or PETE for short — the process differs from traditional cells which lose efficiency as temperatures rise, and the materials needed to build the cells are cheap and widely available. The engineers got around the lower efficiencies by coating a piece of semiconducting material with a thin layer of the metal cesium, which enables the material to use both heat and light simultaneously. While the materials as currently demonstrated work best in very high temperatures, the researchers indicate that in the near future, the materials could have wide enough application to make them competitive with traditional forms of energy.

In this video I’m showing the progress that I made with my solar heater. Now I need to collect more bottles, so I went to the local supermarket and they will help me to collect the bottles that I need. Cutting and taping the bottles will take some time, but after that I can focus on the next task, and that will be insulating the copper pipe with all the fittings. I will show you how I’m going to do that. So stay tuned, and thumbs up if you like it :-)

Also visit this youtube channel from jcanivan, he shows a way better setup with all the information how to build it.

In solarthermics, Basotect® is employed in several different areas: from the insulation of pipes and the insulation of hot water tanks through to evacuated tube collectors and flat solar panels. Basotect is a flexible, open-cell foam made from melamine resin, a thermoset plastic. Its characteristic feature is its intricate three-dimensional network structure consisting of slender and thus easily shapable filaments. Basotect is flame-resistant, can be used at up to 240°C, is abrasive and has consistent physical properties over a wide temperature range. In addition, Basotect is very lightweight, is able to insulate heat, has a high acoustical absorption capacity and remains flexible even at low temperatures. These properties mean that Basotect can be used in many different applications: for improving room acoustics, for the thermal insulation of solar installations, in upholstered furniture and mattresses, as well as in automobile manufacture and aircraft construction. The movie looks at this potential area of use and shows the different application areas of Basotect in solar panels.
