Solar cell

One of the cost saving features Foothill has invested in, is solar panels on the roof of their maintenance building. Above you can see the plan view and on the right the perspective from the ground. According to Mr.Lim, solar energy accounts for 20% of the energy used at the facility. The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) endorsed Foothill Transit for reaching the Platinum Level, not only is this the highest recognition possible in the APTA Sustainability Commitment Program;…

Anyone who hears the name Testa stops to listen because this famous brand built a golden reputation from their electric vehicles. Now, they have released the Solar Roof, which blends non-solar tiles with solar, and it's intended to replace the solar panels of today. Everyone knew the panels would launch in 2017, but no one could estimate the actual cost of the panels. Now that they've released the price, everyone's wondering if the cost is worth it. What to Expect on Price The estimated cost…

Solar energy is a radiant light and heat from the Sun harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, solar thermal energy, etc .Solar energy is the best alternative energy resource for the Bronx because it 's is easily accessible. It also saves electricity, and it is a renewable source. However it may not be cost effective and cannot be used with weather other than sunny. Solar energy has multiple advantages, it also has disadvantages that can easily be fixed. One…

S. Dept. of Energy, ‘solar’ is a Latin word which means ‘sun,’ and energy produced from the sun can be used to heat, air condition, and illuminate people’s homes and businesses (“2015 Learning”). One of the first people to see the potential in solar power was John Herschel, a British astronomer, who used a solar thermal collector box to heat his meals in Africa, in the 1830s (U.S. Energy Info. Adm.). Over a century later, in 1954, Bell Laboratories created the first solar cell, the genesis of…

sustenance and is done through applying a thermal application under low temperature condition. The complete implementation process for solar ponds enables following key steps (Bhubaneswari, Iniyan &Ranko, 2011): 4.1.1. Setting up insulation process The insulation process to manage solar pond is done through setting up three zones that uses water as key absorption to manage solar radiation and able to collect energy in form of medium thermal storage energy. The three set zones that enable…

emissions. As a result, solar technology has become a primary candidate in the era of finding new ways to create emission free energy. Solar power harnesses the energy of the sun’s rays to generate electricity that is considered environmentally friendly, or “green,” due to the almost nonexistent emission of CO2 throughout the process. The electricity produced by solar farms can then be added to the grid and distributed to consumers. Using renewable resources such as solar power to create…

microscopic cells. Since it is a part of the Plantae Kingdom, it is made up of plant cells. Similar to animals, all plant cells are eukaryotic because they have a nucleus, for its DNA, and membrane-bound organelles. However, unlike an animal cell, plant cell membranes have an extra enclosure called a cell wall. This cell wall, composed of cellulose (a complex carbohydrate), provides the plant cell’s protection and its shape. Excluding all the organelles that are shared between animal and plant…

Our group project was based around up and coming solar technologies. The research we did as a group were framing ways that our world can collect the suns energy and make a useful output. I did my research on The Tesla Powerwall. Tesla Motors is an automobile manufacturer that has a concentration in electric motors. By producing cars with an electric motor is decreasing air pollution. The effects of air pollution are, and can be very devastating. Tesla thrives on making these motors silent and…

Chris Burden(April 11, 1946-May 10, 2015) an American artist working on performance, sculpture and installation art. He created “Urban Light” a sculptural work consisting of 202 antique lights. This display is outside of LACMA. The antique lights are solar powered. Metropolis II, 2011. Chris Burden, United States, 1946-2015.
