Solar Power Information

Passive Solar has been around for some time. In the 1970's many homes where designed with this feature. Where so many people wanted to "try" it for their new homes it was not as cost effective back then as it is today.

Passive Solar systems are unique and not dependent on electricity for a motive force, they use passive heat. That is what makes solar water heaters, thermal siphoning space heaters and solar design (for homes) so economical. Applying some basic concepts of passive solar heat will show that it can be used in any climate.

Passive solar is implemented through design and using the natural properties of thermal energies. Basically passive solar relies on the concept of hot air rising and cooler air falling. Establish this design concept when building or designing your home. This can be used in modular homes as well.

For cooler climates there is the skepticism that this will not work because it is cold outside. On the contrary it is the sunlight that will be of a greater heat source due to the environment will not absorb as much sunlight. The only requirement here is providing a barrier between the environment and the heat transfer area of your device. While allowing sufficient radiant energy into your system.

Passive solar water heaters can also rely on the effect that hotter water is less dense and therefore you can use a passive solar water heater to drive or -pump- water from a low point to a high point with no electromotive forces. And store the tank at a relatively high point. And when water is needed just open a faucet. The pressure due to the fluid height would provide adequate pressure for you. These are just a few of the ideas and concepts to explore when reducing the cost of Solar Powered Homes.

Solar Car Challenge

Solar car is an electric car that uses solar energy. This energy is gained in solar photovoltaic panels drawn to the upper surface of the vehicle. These photovoltaic (PV) cells connect to a 48-volt battery, and they convert sunlight directly into electricity, to operate the vehicle.

The solar car is not listed as general vehicles that you see every day on the street, but they are made primarily for racing, engineering, or a simple display, and projects are generally funded by the government.

The technology used by these solar-powered cars is the same as those used for satellites in the international space stations. The development of these special vehicles is very limited because of its power source that requires batteries and solar energy, which makes it rather ineffective during the night. But most Solar Cars that were built were used for racing.

Two of the most famous racing Solar Cars are the World Solar Challenge competitions and North American Solar Challenge; with its competitors are mostly academics.

The most vital part of a Solar Car is its electrical system. The electrical system used to screen all incoming...
