Solar panel benefits

admin — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 20:41:18 +0000

There are a lot of advantages of utilising solar power for your electricity needs. Along with saving lots of money on your electricity bill, you are able to also become a recipient of a government rebate programs that supplies incentives for putting in solar panels. The technology involving residential solar panels is improving regularly. Information regarding these improvements may be gained through government or environmental organizations.

Let us take a look at a few of the leading benefits of utilising residential solar panels for the energy needs at home – among the major benefits of utilising residential solar panels is that they use solar power for production of electricity which is a renewable source of energy unlike fossil fuel.

Generation of electricity through residential solar panels is totally pollution free. There can be some pollution during the manufacture of solar cells and infrastructure, but once installed, they are completely pollution free.

Solar power is totally free to use. After the first investment in the infrastructure, the generation is totally free. As a matter of fact, you are able to send back excess power back into electrical grid, and get extra money.

Use of solar power is really flexible. It may be set up to power an electrical fence or put up be utilised to power a total industry or residential complex. It may be easily set up in small towns where connectivity is poor and it’s hard to imagine electricity in near future.

The residential solar panels hardly require any upkeep once they’re set up. Also, they last for a very long time. On the other hand, different sources of electricity generation involves routine monitoring and laborious maintenance.
If you’re a business using it, you win trust by being environmental friendly and get extra benefits from government for utilising the “silent power” and going with the “Go green” mantra.

Along with the preceding benefits, there are numerous hidden benefits of utilising residential solar panels. Governments normally supply free consultation to folks planning to switch on to solar power.

Wind power vs Solar energy

admin — Tue, 03 May 2011 22:09:36 +0000

There is an existing debate among environmentalists and even scientists on which energy resource should be developed first given their advantages and drawbacks. Staying away from the personal biases, numerous studies have shown that overall, wind power is more cost effective than harnessing the sun’s energy. Let’s see the reasons behind that conclusion.

Harnessing the sun’s energy can be done by a number of ways. But probably the simplest way which can be applied in a small home is by using photovoltaic cells or PV or solar cells. What happens is that sunlight hit the surface of a photovoltaic (PV) panel which responds by creating free electrons which is channeled to generate an electric current.

Wind power on the other hand utilizes a propeller and a shaft system which has a magnet wrapped by a coil of wire inside. As the wind turns the propeller and the magnet inside, the electrons in the wire are forced to move along the wire producing an electrical current.

Both ways are quite simple but the complexities now lies on the costs of producing the necessary equipment especially the mechanisms that will maximize the power output. When costs of production of photovoltaic cells and wind turbine are compared, the latter is much cheaper to produce. Although, manufacturers of photovoltaic cells stress that as the demand on PV cells increase, the costs of production decreases. So its just a matter of time before PV cells become price competitive.

Other problems include the logistics of placing the equipment. A solar panel requires quite a large space plus, your location on the globe will affect the amount of sunlight you receive and consequently the amount of power you produce. The further away from the equator you are, the less amount of sunlight you can harness. Also, on the average, the PV cells have a 15-20% efficiency rate.

The problem with wind power on the other hand is that not all areas will have winds favorable for a turbine. And if you do locate a place where winds are strong and the turbine can be maximized, you’ll find that the area (more often than not) is inhabited by various species of birds. You don’t want to kill birds with your turbine, do you?

Now going back to our wind power vs. solar energy match-up, indeed we do have to agree that wind power is more cost efficient. However, both alternative energy resource will play a big role in our future.

Types of Solar Electric Systems

admin — Sun, 30 May 2010 17:55:51 +0000

Electric systems have been produced because of the rise of solar power as a dependable and affordable source of energy. There are nowadays various methods, techniques and systems that count on solar power to run plants, homes and offices effectively. You ought to discover more about these systems to find out the most beneficial types that will supply you with the most benefits. You will be able to opt to make your own or just buy one from top manufacturers.

The Stand Alone System

There are little stand-alone electric systems that are really effective at giving economic electricity. These systems are primarily used to power RV, lighting, backup power systems, portable power systems and cabins. The size of the array of photovoltaics or the quantity of solar panels, as well as the battery will rely on the particular power demands.

The solar panels charge up the battery during day periods and the battery will supply power to the inverter whenever needed. The inverter transforms the twelve volt batteries direct current. power into one hundred twenty volt alternating current power. This is the most valuable sort of current for bulk of applications. The charge controller will finish the charging when the battery gets to the full charge. The batteries won’t gas out this way and battery longevity is raised.

Grid-Tie Solar System

The grid-tie solar system is really valuable for houses that are already joined to the utility grid. The main reward of this sort of system is the cheap cost of utility. The system requires to be wired with an inverter that produces pure-sine-wave alternating current electricity, which is required for connecting to the utility grid. An added benefit of this electric system type is the tax bonuses. There are also rebates provided dependant on the local agency and the state.

If you own a grid-tied system in California, you will be able to take advantage of a few programs that will minimise the total price of the system. Majority of the system normally don’t include the battery storage that lets power in when the utility doesn’t work. Grid-tie systems are set up practising battery backup power to preserve vital loads even in the presence of a power outage.

The Full Stand-Alone

The complete or full stand-alone system is very valuable for total independence from electric utility companies and fossil fuels. The benefit of the system is the capability to supply power away from the utility, in addition to producing a measure of self independence. The total stand-alone home solar system will normally have a few inverters to supply the alternating current house current required to power very large loads like air conditioning.

An on hand 2nd inverter will assist make certain that power is present if one of the inverters will require servicing. Self-contained systems like these need a capable battery keeping capacity to give electricity as solar power isn’t forthcoming because of lengthy unfavorable atmospheric conditions. The complete stand-alone system normally requires twenty solar panels for safe and sound battery keeping and satisfactory charging. You might call for an expert to assist you select between systems so that you get a lot out of your investment.
