A bridge to Zero-Point Energy

Solar cells convert the energy of incoming light to electric energy; a good quality cell operates at an efficiency of 15%. Each person in the United States uses energy (for lighting, heating, transportation, etc.) at an average rate of 11 kilowatts . Although sunlight varies with season and time of day, solar energy falls on [...]
I would like to learn about solar energy and how I can make some panels for my home, of course with in a reasonable budget. My goal is to be able to run a refrigerator and fan off of battery. Any ideas out there?
If your goal is to save money, it will be hard to [...]
Serious discussion here.
How feasible is the idea of communities, towns, even whole cities being powered by solar energy? At the most, how about these communities being fractionally powered by solar energy; 40% Solar/ 60% Fossil fuels?
We’re not getting all George Jetson, here. We have practical means by which to make something [...]
Solar energy consists of the light and heat emitted by the sun, in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
With today’s technology, we are able to capture this radiation and turn it into usable forms of solar energy – such as heating or electricity.
Although one could go into technical dissertations on the subject of electromagnetic radiation, how [...]
MST addresses the needs of the Global Clean Energy Market by introducing advanced technology to convert solar energy into electricity at an affordable price, one the worlds most efficient Solar Energy technologies. Concentrated photovoltaics produce more energy using less space and are projected to economically out-compete other Solar Systems of our generation. Israeli High Tech [...]
I’m working in IT Helpdesk field and no longer interested in this kind of work. I can’t stand sitting at a desk in an office answering phones, e-mails and helping others with their technical problems.
I am very good with technology/computers and want to start a career in the solar energy field, preferably [...]
Some states like TX and NJ will subsidize solar energy 40% worth.
But the technology to date has been quite costly in spite of these states’ subsidizing the cost. However, solar energy is starting to turn the corner cost-effectively in the past year or two.
Why is there no serious encouragement from the federal gov’t to encourage [...]
I need some information for my negative debate speech. The subject is "Should the American goverment support solar energy?" If you could help it would greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Keep in mind I like solar energy, but I’ll give you some points.
1) It costs more
2) panels degrade faster than other energy sources equipment
3) They consume arable land
4) [...]
I have a small panel of solar cells, i wish to save this energy for lighting my study lamp, how do i do it?
How much energy will it hold? How do i convert it to light?
Please help friends.
Thanks
You will need a way to store the energy gained my solar panel.
Way 1, 12 volt [...]
How does the amount of chemical energy stored in plants compare to the electrical energy stored by solar panel/batteries?
Most plants are around 1% efficient at turning sunlight into a useful form of energy it can use. Bamboo is probably somewhat higher. Solar panels are somewhere around 20% efficient now I think. Trees are much cheaper [...]
