Technology Review: Storing Solar Power Efficiently - 0 views

  • Solar proponents love to boast that just a few hundred square kilometers' worth of photovoltaic solar panels installed in Southwestern deserts could power the United States. Their schemes come with a caveat, of course: without backup power plants or expensive investments in giant batteries, flywheels, or other energy-storage systems, this solar-power supply would fluctuate wildly with each passing cloud (not to mention with the sun's daily rise and fall and seasonal ebbs and flows). Solar-power startup > Ausra > , based in Palo Alto, thinks it has the solution: solar-thermal-power plants that turn sunlight into steam and efficiently store heat for cloudy days. >

  • The two reports on the impacts of EE/RE on Texas -- Role of Energy Efficiency and Onsite Renewables in Meeting Energy and Environmental Needs in the Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston/Galveston Metro Areas and The Economic Benefits of an Energy Efficiency and Onsite Renewable Energy Strategy to Meet Growing Electricity Needs in Texas -- were released today by the American Council for an Energy-Efficiency Economy (ACEEE). These studies build upon an ACEEE report released last March that examined the statewide impacts of a suite of EE/RE policies that showed Texas could meet most of its projected needs for electricity while also addressing concerns about peak demand.

  • As a case study of a successful approach, let’s take a look at what Spain has been able to accomplish. Spain has tackled its development of renewable energy sources aggressively. With 11,615 megawatts (MW) of installed wind capacity at the end of last year, Spain is second in the world to Germany in capacity (and about on par with the United States). The 23,372,000 MWh generated in 2006 provided just over 8.5% of Spain’s electricity: only Denmark boasts a higher percentage.

However nothing works because there`s no electricity! If we consider that some of the energy resources that we heavily rely on today - such as gas and coal - may run out, this situation canbecome true.Why not change this situation? Why not start using other resources, such as solar electricity? Thanks to technological developments, the sunlight can be converted to solar electricity. And the bes ist: You can make solar electricity in your home.By making and using solar electricity you'll not only be independent of the energy companies, but you will also save a lot of money and still contribute with our planet Earth.A guide that reveals how to generate solar electricity is available on the website Earth4Energy. With a detailed manual and videos, they teach you how to build the system to geberate your own solar electricity. To know more

    In recent times, people are increasingly looking for energy solutions, whether is because of rising energy costs or environmental issues. Solar power for home has been a much promoted alternative, however still very few people have a solar power system in their houses. Why is it like that? The problem is that usually it is very expensive to purchase and have installed a solar power system.That is until now. Michael Harvey, who has been involved with renewable energy for over 15 years, wrote a simple and detailed guide that teaches you how to build a solar power system at your home for about $200.
