convieneces to solar power, but of course nothing is perfect. It is more convienet for the consumer because they will not have to purchase things to run their house or car, they could just have the solar pannels themselves and be independent. The one and major inconveience of solar power is what do you do on a cloudy day? Or if one place does not get a lot of sun how can it run? Advantages: Solar energy is a renewable resource that is environmentally friendly. Unlike fossil fuels, solar…

Renewable Energy * Wind * Solar * Geothermal * Biomass * Hydroelectric Wind Energy Wind Energy is an effect of the sun 's uneven heating of the atmosphere. Wind energy is commonly harnessed by turbines. Wind is formed when warm air expands and rises up, while cold air condenses and sinks. Wind energy can be used to power boats or even charge a battery. Although, it 's almost a perfect choice, it has its setbacks. The generators need a lot of land in order to function properly and if…

The lack of solar power stems from solar panels containing qualities that make them incompatible with the energy grid. The first quality solar panels posses that make them incompatible with the energy grid is the type of electricity produced by solar panels does not match up with the type of electricity the grid runs on. The second property that solar panels possess that makes them unsuitable for the energy grid is the variability of the energy generation from solar panels. A research team…

It is to be said without a doubt that the earth is the most breathtaking and wonderful planet in the whole solar system. It is not too cold or not too hot, it was just placed in the right distance from the sun. It has an atmosphere to act as a protective blanket from the sun and to provide us with the air that we breathe. Not to mention, until today, it is the only planet that could support life. Other than the many animals, plants, and other living things that it holds, it also houses the most…

Introduction Inko Friendly is a company revolutionizing the printing industry. Inko Friendly is determined to save consumers from wasting money on printer ink by creating an inkless solar powered printer. This printer will be powered by the sun and harness that energy in a solar battery. Then will tan the paper with the power from the sun to create the illusion of ink on a paper. There is nothing like this product on the market, therefore this report will breakdown the printer and office…

The Solar Energy Investment Tax Credit is a very important federal policy to promote solar energy in the United States. In 2015, the Solar Energy Industries Association advocated for the extension of the renewable tax credit to increase the investments in the solar and wind industry in order to provide business certainty to investors and project developers. The solar power industry expected the tax credits to expire in January 1, 2015. The Solar Investment Tax Credit is continuing to drive…

Scientists Journal says that "The Sun has been, and always will be, the Earth 's largest energy reservoir-it powers every living system, from plant photosynthesis to every node of the food web. Humans, like all other organisms, depend on sunlight" (6-10). Why not use the sun even more? Taking the sun 's energy to create a harmless, clean source of power is better than most of our current means of power. Solar power is already implemented in everyday things. For example, ever notice new street…
