Renewable Sources of Energy: Soloar Energy

Regarding to solar power, Mistry claims that although the solar power does not generate pollution, it has a lot of costs. To built solar panels with a photovoltaic equipment has high costs. For instance, a photovoltaic system just for a home can cost around $35,000 (Kumar, 2012). However, if our goal for the future is to get a healthy environment, switch fossil fuels for solar power might be the best choice to achieve that goal. According to Kumar (2012), Solar power is a clean and renewable energy so, it decreases the dependency on fossil fuel and also reduces the air pollution.

This can limit how much power will be saved for the future. One of the most important advantages with solar power is that is creates absolutely no pollution. Solar panels require very little maintenance is required to keep the solar power running. The number of advantage that is associated with using solar power it ways out the disadvantage. Solar energy is a very useful energy source to contribute to solve the issue of human induced climate change.

They use an array of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells (or modules made of cells) that convert sunlight into electricity. The electricity either goes directly to an electric motor powering the vehicle, or to a special storage battery. The PV array can be built (integrated) onto the vehicle body itself, or fixed on a building or a vehicle shelter to charge an electric vehicle (EV) battery when it is parked.

Luckily, there are many means alternative energy sources to conserve the earth's limited natural resources.

Solar Power is not only for house use but also for cars. Now in days, vehicles run on with solar power. According to (makeitsolar.com), it says, “PV panels as a direct power source that convert light energy into electricity to power their motors. When sun is not available, cars will not run, so, is better to have a car powered by batteries that can recharged with solar energy” describes how solar power is the better way to save electricity and could easily recharged when sun is available at no cost. Solar power is the better way to save electricity without using house power or car battery.

The efficiency of a solar powered station varies between 40% and 80% but for an oil powered station it may range 30% to 40%. A solar powered station is therefore more ideal than a coal powered station since much of the energy is lost. However users currently pay 6 to 7 cents per kilowatt-hour for conventionally generated electricity. Eventually as renewable sources of energy becomes more popular the price will drop as no fuel cost is needed. Using oil, coal and gas means that explorers and miners are in more

Despite generating electricity with fossil fuels for years and years there is a much better way that does not harm the environment. Using Solar panels does not produce any carbon dioxide unlike fossil fuels that “produces huge volumes of carbon dioxide, which is a gas that influences the global climate” (“Solar Power Vs. Fossil Fuels”). Having the choice to get power in a new way that saves the environment, home owners should not have to think twice about trying solar. In fact if home owners collect some amount of watts per hour on Monday, that will not reduce the amount of solar energy a home owner can collect on Wednesday or any other day that week. They can always keep collecting the power.

The main reason solar energy is getting so big is because of the advantages of the use of solar energy. The main advantage of solar energy is that the power source is infinite unlike fossil fuels which are limited. Scientist currently predicts that in the next forty to fifty years fossils fuels will expire. Also solar energy is cleaner, rather than fossil fuels, solar energy doesn’t give off pollution and also is water efficient. Nuclear power plants and gas power plants use up so much water to cool the plant down, solar panels however doesn’t need water for anything.

Without passive solar energy, what humans call life would not have existed. Active energy can be beneficial to the health of planet Earth. It can be used to replace fossil fuels because they will run out as the demands for it are constantly increasing. Solar energy is extremely environmentally friendly in comparison to other forms of energy. It is also a type of energy that humans have a lot of, the amount is almost endless.

While pure solar systems only use one source of energy, a hybrid grid-connected system uses multiple sources of electricity. While the, “solar electric— or photovoltaic (PV) — systems convert sunlight energy to electricity”, the hybrid system could harvest the wind on that day (Chiras 48). With the multiple systems, a person receives more energy output than a pure solar energy system. This is because that person is producing energy from two resources instead of one. The highest efficiency of solar cells is 28% (Salkalachen 1248).

What is solar energy? Solar energy is, simply, energy provided by the sun. This energy is in the form of solar radiation, which makes the production of solar electricity possible. Solar energy produces electricity when it is in demand – during the day particularly hot days when air-conditioners drive up electricity demand. In use, solar energy produces no emissions.
