1. Solar Photovoltaic Energy Sun scatters upon the Earth a volume of energy higher than the global consumption of a whole year Photovoltaic solar energy is being appreciated more and more, since the environment http://www.heliodinamica.com.br/english/energ2.htm

The Sun: a mega-powerplant right over there In only one hour the Sun scatters upon the Earth a volume of energy higher than the global consumption of a whole year. It is a free, renewable and non polluting energy. So, why not harness it ?! That's what the photovoltaic technology does! Different from the solar water heaters, currently so common, the photoelectric effect converts the energy of light provided by the Sun into electric power, to feed lamps, TVs, water pumps and desalinators, computers, refrigerators or any other electric equipment. The increasing global demand for energy and the impact of the energy policies on the community and the environment create the need to look for an energy source capable of purvey humanity in an inexhaustible way and serve as basis to a sustainable development. Photovoltaic solar energy is being appreciated more and more, since the environment problems grow worse and the raw materials begin to exhaust, the continuous exploitation of fossil and nuclear fuels becomes intolerable to sustain the "power orgy" that our society is habituated to. How it works Industrial researches in photovoltaics started back in the fifties by space scientists which were looking for an efficient way to supply energy to man made satellites placed in orbit. Since then the photovoltaic technology has been developed in a fantastic way and increases its presence in regions where the grid does not arrive or is unreliable.

Economic Payback of Solar Energy Systems Home Solar Electric Systems Customer Tips! Economic Payback Product Price Environment Fast Facts Glossary Solar Thermal ... Home Introduction A customer investing in a solar PV system should understand the economic payback on his or her investment, even if there may be strong non-economic (e.g. environmental) factors driving the purchasing decision. The initial investment depends on the system size. A convenient factor that takes this into account is the price per peak Watt (Wp) of the system. Hence, a 2000 Watt peak (2kWp) solar energy system costing $16000 in total (i.e. including installation) will correspond to a price of $8/Wp . In some countries, you may be able to obtain a grant or rebate towards the cost of the system, which will obviously improve the economic payback on the purchase. Financing Options You may have different options to finance the purchase, but each of them has a cost. If you are investing cash then you lose its future interest; if you borrow the m

Main advantages of the Solar Photovoltaic Energy Introduction The photovoltaic energy consists on transforming solar radiation into electricity . As the rest of renewable sources, the photovoltaic is a clean, inexhaustible, and decentralised energy source. At present, the photovoltaic energy is competitive to supply those locations placed faraway from the electricity grid . In those cases, the photovoltaic energy would supply country houses, street lighting, water pumping, emergency installations, and so on. In Spain -as in many other countries around the world-, there are still non-electrified population centres that would find in the photovoltaic energy the proper solution to their lack of energy supply . A few projects have already been carried out in Spain, and, in all of them when using this source it proved to be reliable and competitive. Thanks to the photovoltaic together with the wind energy, Spain is now well placed in the top of factoring and development ranking. This emerging industry provides with wide possibilities for the exportation market, being, in addition, a good tool for creating new jobs.

The potential of solar thermal plants is enormous. For example, if 1% of the Sahara Dessert were covered with solar plates, they would, in theory, produce sufficient power to meet the world electricity demand.

Search PtS Search WWW Solar Photovoltaic Energy [This webpage is 7 letter pages long] While the amount of sunlight available for generating power varies across the South and from season to season, the highest value of grid-connected solar electricity as modeled in this study comes from its ability to match summer peak loads. In many parts of the region, peak electricity demand is driven by air conditioning on hot summer days, precisely the time when solar radiation is highest. It has been shown that PVs can deliver firm, dependable power even during extreme peak conditions leading to outage situations, such as the recent power crisis in California. cxxx Since peak loads are expensive for power companies to meet, solar PV systems are sometimes attractive even in areas with below-average amounts of sunlight. This concept is expressed as the effective load-carrying capability (ELCC), which is the probability that PV can contribute to a utilityÕs capacity to meet its load. A region with comparatively low solar resources may still have a high ELCC if the utility load and solar resource are well matched. The degree of this match is related to the ratio of summer-to-winter peak loadsÑas summer loads exceed winter loads, the effective load carrying capacity of PV increases (see Figure 4.1 ). cxxxi In the Southeast, the ELCC for PV systems ranges from 50% to 70% of capacity.

US CODE COLLECTION TITLE 42 CHAPTER 71 SUBCHAPTER III > Sec. 5581. Next Sec. 5581. - Congressional findings and declaration of policy (a) The Congress hereby finds that - the United States of America is faced with a finite and diminishing resource base of native fossil fuels, and as a consequence must develop as quickly as possible a diversified, pluralistic national energy capability and posture; the current imbalance between supply and demand for fuels and energy in the United States is likely to grow for many years; the early demonstration of the feasibility of using solar photovoltaic energy systems for the generation of electricity could help to relieve the demand on existing fuel and energy supplies; the national security and economic well-being of the United States is endangered by its dependence on imported energy supplies which are subject to resource limitations, artificial pricing mechanisms which do not accurately reflect supply and demand relationships, and supply interruptions; the early development and widespread utilization of photovoltaic energy systems could significantly expand the domestic energy resource base of the United States, thereby lessening its dependence on foreign supplies;
