Solar Energy: An Introduction To Solar Power

1440 Words6 Pages

ABSTRACT

Sun is the ultimate source of all the energies in the universe, solar power is

considered one of the better renewable platforms. The energy that the sun continuously

irradiates on the earth is equal to 10000 times worldwide energetic requirements.

Photovoltaic device is the proper term for a solar-electric cell that collects sunlight and

converts it to electricity. The dominate technology in use in the photovoltaic world is

phosphorous and boron (or aluminium) doped poly-crystalline silicon wafers

approximately 0.3 mm thick. They convert solar energy to electricity at approximately

13 % efficiency. we can get 63.2% of efficiency by using nanotechnology

    In 2017 we’re still destroying the planet by using fossil fuel, creating more carbon dioxide, by burning oil, coal and gas. This causes a huge problem in today's world if we keep using the process of burning fossils as a form of electricity, gas etc.. we will end up destroying the planet we live on. By Rhode Island College creating a 5-10 year plan I believe we can be completely running on energy created by solar panels.

When the pole is nearly straight, the pole vaulter lets go of the the pole and travels over the bar. When the pole snaps back the stored elastic strain energy is transformed into the gravitational potential energy.

Background and Audience Relevance: As stated by C. Naff in his 2007 book Feeling the Future Solar power the development of the Solar Panels began during the mid-1800, this was during the Industrial Revolution to be able to heat up water and also steam for the machinery. In the year of 1839 French Scientist Alexandre Edmund Becquerel discovered the Photovoltaic process. Years later in 1941, an American Engineer Russell Ohl invented the solar cell. We all know that the oil that is use for natural gas and gasoline is used to heat and warm houses, but they are also fossil fuels

    You may think that solar energy isn’t enough but we can use it with other clean energy. It is a wise choice to use solar energy because solar energy is renewable and abundant, it is environmentally friendly, and it is also available around the world. Solar is the most abundant energy resource on Earth. In Taiwan, a three-story building with solar panels can produce three to four families’ electricity.

    Scientists have found that renewable energy is a path towards the future for a clean and safe environment. Throughout all the studies and findings, there is a continuing fret whether people should be able to use a traditional way of energy or renewable energy, solar power. Solar energy is seen to be effective since there has progressively been more places that are benefiting from solar usage; however there are also some who disagree. Solar energy sources are derived from natural sources and is implicated throughout our daily lives. From the lights in the streets to the computers we use at home.

    Nuclear power is,” the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power station. The term includes nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion.” Nuclear energy obtained from the fission of uranium and plutonium nucleus represents a significant share of humankind energy resources. Its production in appropriately designed nuclear fission reactors is especially important as a low- defilement accessory to fossil fuels. Nowadays, nuclear power is marked as one of the most environmental friendly sources of power produce in the world.

    wind energy and solar energy are both renewable types of energy they create no pollution and are fully sustainable as they are both powered by natural sources and if there is no wind one day the solar panels can generate energy and if it 's cloudy another day the windmills can generate energy also the energy created during the summer can be sold to the grid for extra capital that can be used for field trips, renovations, etc. Geothermal heating systems are rated the most efficient and eco-friendly heating systems. The system works using buried coils that contain a liquid, typically a mix of water and antifreeze. The liquid is warmed to the same temperature as the earth and then runs through to the home where a compressor extracts the heat but not only that geothermal heating requires no fossil fuels so it is very eco-friendly LED lighting is an efficient and eco friendly lighting alternative because they waste much less energy in converting to light compare to incandescent lights which waste 90% of the energy to convert to heat not only that LED lights last up to 15-25 times longer that traditional light bulbs this makes LED a much better source of lights than others because it wastes less energy and it is more efficient at doing its job this is so much better for the environment because it uses less energy that other lighting sources

    Geothermal energy is a form of energy in which heat energy from within Earth is captured and harnessed for cooking, bathing, space heating, electrical power generation, and other uses (Geothermal Energy, 2016). The heat is produced mainly by the radioactive decay of potassium, thorium, and uranium in Earth’s crust and mantle and also by friction generated along the margins of continental plates (Geothermal Energy, 2016). The annual low-grade heat flow to the surface averages between 50 and 70 milliwatts (mw) per square metre worldwide (Geothermal Energy, 2016). Using solar panels to produce solar energy is the best possible solution to global warming. Solar panels can be used for a wide variety of applications including remote power
