INTRODUCTION When thinking of starting a contracting business for solar panels‚ many economic issues and concerns play a factor in the decision making process. Having a concern for the environment and knowing that solar panels have a cost saving for both households and business seems to be reason enough to start a business. However‚ before making such a financial investment you should first take a look solar panels in the economy in terms of (i) GDP growth rate‚ (ii) interest rates‚ (iii) level

the polarity or direction of current is irrelevant‚ so long as there is enough voltage and current to the load to produce the desired heat (power dissipation). However‚ with AC it is possible to build electric generators‚ motors and power distribution systems that are far more efficient than DC‚ and so we find AC used predominately across the world in high power applications. To explain the details of why this is so‚ a bit of background knowledge about AC is necessary. If a machine is constructed

Solar car design Originally published on Solar Love. Generally speaking‚ I don’t think solar-powered cars are very practical. They are fun and do highlight how far we’ve come. They may help to advance certain electric car technologies and designs. However‚ except for certain niche situations (like a hospital car for rural Zimbabwe)‚ they have serious limitations. For one‚ solar panels aren’t cheap — risking their destruction or damage in a car accident doesn’t seem wise. Secondly‚ the sun

Practicability of Solar Panel as a Modified Power Saver Introduction Despite the advent of technological breakthrough‚ different issues and controversies about the shortage of Power Supply is an important matter being talked about nowadays. The higher the demand the lesser the supply‚ that is what the Economic Analysts would say when there is a price increase issue. Every year‚ human population increase and so as the product demand of every living human bag in this world. When the population

Solar Panel The world’s energy demands increase year after year‚ while its resources are consistently being depleted in order to sustain these energy demands. These limited resources will one day be no more. A dependable source of renewable energy must be found. Currently solar energy is not efficient enough to sustain the population. However‚ the technology is constantly advancing‚ and solar energy could one day be that source. The solar cell’s roots can be traced all the way back
