Since their introduction a number of decades ago, solar panels have grown from small devices that power calculators to massive energy-creating infrastructure pieces that can power thousands of homes. Of the many home electricity generation systems, solar is one of the easiest to operate and maintain, and once tax credits are considered, solar is far less expensive than one might think. Let’s take a brief look at home solar power and how to approach bringing this to your home. Step One: Determine your Needs The first step is to determine your average energy needs. This information can usually be obtained by checking your electricity bills for the past year, adding up the total number of kilowatt-hours used and dividing by 12 months. This number offers some insight into the level of home solar equipment required to power your entire home, and will give an idea of the costs involved.

Schools benefit in many ways from having solar panels. They are a visual teaching aid for the students in several subjects. A photovoltaic system can be used to produce power, heat, and hot water for the school to use. By producing its own energy to cover school needs, monies usually spent on electricity are freed for other uses. Teaching aid Solar panels, mounted on their own poles, are a wonderful teaching aid. They allow the students to see what they look like and how they are installed. They can observe how the panels follow the path of the sun. Closer examination reveals  how solar panels work . Monitoring electricity output levels, comparing sunny days to overcast ones, determining equal fossil fuel consumption are all possible classroom activities. This can be accomplished by making use of an online monitoring system that displays relevant data.

Solar Energy India. Learn how India is using the green technology to harness solar energy and power up homes and industries. As the global economy continues to fluctuate, the emergence of developing countries as key consumers of energy has provoked much debate. More specifically, where they intend to find the energy to drive their rapid expansion, and what the cost is likely to be for individual consumers and for the environment in general. New Demands On Energy Sources From Growing Populations It is no secret that concern over fossil fuels is causing many countries to look to more environmentally-friendly methods of energy production. With expanding populations and the evolution of a knowledge-based economy come new demands on energy sources, and countries with a generous share of sunny days are those which stand to benefit from solar power . India is one such country, and photovoltaic production is already starting to overcome some local energy problems in this vast and div...
