Finding The Position of the Sun

The term sun path has been assigned to notify the path of the sun which changes based on seasonal-and-hourly alteration as the earth rotates, as well as orbits the sun. The position of the sun is one of the main factors determining the amount of heat that can be derived from the sun. So precise [...]

Where is Solar Energy Heading?

There are many who are for solar energy. However, solar power hasn’t been very cost effective for the recent decade. Now, innovative technology is bringing the price of solar energy down to competitive levels. It is leveling to other alternative sources of energy. It is interesting to consider the idea of generating an unlimited and [...]

The Truth About Solar Energy In 2010

With 2009 fading into the past, recorded data will explain how solar power stocks tolerated a difficult year. This is old news and not really earth rattling, since the high foreheads on Wall Street literally kicked the stuffing out of this segment for a good part of the year. The pundits figured the bad news [...]

Solar Thermal Technology – Efficiency at New Levels –

Energy sources emerge because of economic, environmental or social pressures. In calm periods, investment seems to go into other fields. A quarter a century ago, in 1986 the solar panels that had been installed atop of the white house were literally ripped-off. However, new efforts have been devoted towards the re-birth of more affordable, efficient [...]

Overview of Space Solar Energy

Ex-terrestrial solar energy is an ancient concept but yet not materialized. The sun which shines in the outer space is both brighter and more constant. There is neither day nor night in space. This means that having solar collectors orbiting could provide clean space solar energy 24 hours a day through out the year. If [...]

Make Maximum Use of Solar Energy; Use Molten Salt for Night Generation

There are many conductors of heat; molten salt is one, which can store the heat that the sun provides during the day. This energy can thereafter be used in the night to provide electricity. In the vicinity of Granada, in Spain around 28,000 metric tons of salt, is present in the pipelines along a power [...]

Solar Fuels Life Existence Why Not Man Utilizations

In the morning as you walk along the road, the shining rays of the sun represent an astronomical source of energy that is under-utilized. There are few who even think about the sun as energy. Energy that provides electricity for home users, to drive cars, to light up shopping complex and more or less everything [...]
