Solar energy

industrial sectors in India, the energy demand has been reaching its peak. The conventional methods of power generation using fossil fuels are not only adequate, but also leading to environmental pollution. The predominance of fossil fuels in Indian electric power generation leads to 40 percent contribution to the total carbon emissions cite{Ghosh02}. So in order to suffice the growing energy demand with minimal emission of the greenhouse gas (GHG), alternative renewable energy technologies are…

people are enjoying their life with those advancements, energy consumption has also increased enormously. With limited resources on earth, the development of renewable technology has become the focus for the past decades. The sun, the giant burning star that is 92 million miles away from us, is warming us the earth and providing us with light and energy, helping plants and animals grow, as well as the living of human. Depositing 342 joules of energy per square metre per second, the sun, as many…

Energy is the refined power created when one burns resources or generates electrical charges from raw powers of nature. Humans use energy to power their homes, businesses, or other establishments and their technologies. The people around the world use massive amounts of energy generated by using natural resources. Most of the energy they use originates from burning natural resources like coal, oil, and natural gas, but the resource burning is creating dangerous gases like carbon dioxide. The…

MAKING SOLAR ENERGY MORE ECONOMICAL: (SAFETY, WEIGHT BENEFIT, MATERIAL COST AND WOW FACTOR) Noah Garcia, Hongyu Chen, Pablo Bribiesca, Mohammed Ali Our group the Dream Green Team has only one goal in mind. To Make solar energy more economical. To make solar energy more economical a few things can be done. The cost to build solar panels can be decreased, the efficiency can be increased, or the storage of the energy can be more efficient. In the past decade solar panels have been improved…

Solar energy is a resource that produces electricity by emitting energy from the sun in form of solar radiation. Moreover, solar energy is not only considered as a type of renewable energy, but also sustainable energy, which means that it does not harm the environment, and there are no limits for using it. Further, devices that are used to produce solar energy are solar panels and solar cell. However, everything has both negative and positive sides, and solar energy also has its advantages and…

dependence on fossil fuel is solar energy. Solar energy is the primary source of power for humans to use thousands of years and appears every day for free. Indians used the sun to dry hides, herbs, and meats for storage. Prior to the invention of the clothes dryer, people used a line pulled tight between two poles or structures to hang clothes on for the sun to dry. In more recent times, people use solar energy to power their homes. Previous methods of collecting the sun for energy has been…

Solar Energy Solar energy is one of the greatest inventions that has changed lives by bringing power to thousands, and has the potential to help all! The sun emits enormous amounts of solar radiation. Solar panels are built with a very complex structure. Solar power is being used all around the world, mostly by more developed countries, and has the potential to be effective everywhere in Africa. Solar energy can be used for everyones electricity needs by making their home efficient and power…

Review of Literature You get solar energy only through direct sunlight. It is the most abundant, pure, non-toxic renewable energy source. There is sunlight every day that shines down on the earth that is 100,000 times greater than the whole world’s power capacity. The sun has always been a potential source of energy, but it wasn’t until the extreme cost rise of conventional energy that people finally took an interest. After more complex ways to use solar energy were discovered, more and more…

Solar energy is a promising field for an efficient renewable energy source. However, for the time being solar energy isn’t as dependable as oil and other unrenewable sources, mainly because of the lack of efficiency in converting that sunlight into electricity in solar cells. In these past 10 years, there have been big improvements on the efficiency of solar cells, especially in thin film solar cells. Solar cells are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. The uses of solar cells may…

Table 11: Solar energy collector type (Source: Kalogirou (2004)) In the textile industry, energy is mainly consumed for heating of liquid baths close to 100 oC for washing, bleaching and dyeing. Drying processes usually use hot air or gases from 100 to 130 oC as shown in Table 12. In a solar process heat system, interfacing of the collectors with conventional energy supplies must be done in a way compatible with the process. The easiest way to make this is by using heat storage, which can also…
