Efficiency of Solar Energy

Ever since Roman times scientists have seen the efficiency of solar energy. A single light hole in a building could project light throughout an entire room according to a correct building design. Naturally the earth and its ocean extracts over 10000 zettajoules (ZJ)from the suns rays every year to put in perspective just how powerful solar energy is.

A thousand years later people are finally beginning to see the potential in this energy source. Not only is it an excellent source of energy that will reduce your carbon emissions it can be a very cost effective alternative. In the long run solar energy can save you time and effort.

These are some of the methods we use to capture this power:

Agriculture - greenhouses, varying crop height

Solar Lighting - natural light is one of the most significant reducers of other energy use. flick off!

Thermal Energy - (Solar Thermal) most widely used form of solar energy, turns heat into energy in the electric form for heating, cooling and power

Solar Transport - Cars, boats, lawnmowers, you name it. It probably has a solar powered version. Ever since the 1980s engineers and scientists have strived to overcome further obstacles in solar transport. Unfortunately few have become readily available or economical for the public. Not only is solar energy an efficient method of creating energy its extremely cost efficient. Once you have set up your collector, be it a panel or a building design there are no monthly charges or taxes arriving in the mail. In fact some countries offer tax deductions and savings for businesses and homes that use solar power.
