By: Julia Herniak | 2010-09-20 | Business Ideas Solar Concentrators have the task of converting light into a focused area on a collector that measures 10" x 10" in size. Solar concentrators are best used in application that need a lot of solar hot water heating . Solar concentrators consist of a parabolic dish that reflect light onto a small collector. This is similar to the concept of using a magnifying glass to focus light on a small area. read more

By: lisa lucero | 2010-12-02 | Remodeling The sun is a truly awesome source for solar power energy and though man has used its energy for many different tasks for many long years; only now has it become abundantly clear that unless we are able to tap its vast power we will soon run out of conventional energy sources. read more
By: mussie kesete | 2010-07-19 | Science Science & Technology, Self Improvement We hear a lot about so-called renewable energy in the modern world. As the effects of global warming – or climate change, depending on your preferred terminology – become more apparent, the need to find a way to generate energy without damaging the Earth becomes all the more important. One of the most talked about methods of making energy is solar power. As the name would suggest, solar power involves taking the energy of the sun and using that energy to generate electricity on Earth. While solar power is not a new concept, it is nevertheless looking like it will receive much focus during t... read more

By: Julia a Herniak1 | 2010-11-02 | Business The problem in flat solar panels is that they have a static position, more than 45 ° this means that they only take advantage of a few hours on sunlight and in most cases they do not have a tracking system. Another problem is that there are heat losses in the flat panel, since they depend on the temperature difference between the absorber and the air outside, due to the sun and the construction of the collector. read more
By: Denver K | 2010-04-02 | Manufacturing The operation of the CPV is based on solar cells made of compound semiconductors such as gallium arsenide, using solar radiation with an efficiency of 40%, double the conventional. However, as the materials needed are very expensive, very small cells are installed (two millimeters square and two inches square). To counter this small size, used various means such as mirrors, lenses, prisms, etc. read more
