Solar radiation , along with secondary solar-powered resources such as wind and wave power hydroelectricity and biomass , account for most of the available renewable energy on earth. Only a minuscule fraction of the available solar energy is used. Solar powered electrical generation relies on heat engines and photovoltaics . Solar energy's uses are limited only by human ingenuity. A partial list of solar applications includes space heating and cooling through solar architecture potable water via distillation and disinfection daylighting solar hot water solar cooking , and high temperature process heat for industrial purposes.To harvest the solar energy, the most common way is to use

Solar energy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search At the equator, the Sun provides approximately 1000 watts per square meter on Earth's surface. Solar energy is energy that is present in sunlight. It has been used for thousands of years in many different ways by people all over the world. As well as its traditional human uses in heating, cooking, and drying, it is used today to make electricity where other power supplies are absent, such as in remote places and in space . It is becoming cheaper to make electricity from solar energy and in many situations it is now competitive with energy from coal or oil. It can also be used for heating, drying and cooking. Solar energy is used today in a number of ways: As heat for making hot water heating buildings , and cooking To generate electricity with solar cells or heat engines To take the salt away from seawater.

Sam Diephuis/Photodisc/Getty Images Not all locales are suited to producing commercial solar energy. Location is an important aspect of a solar-energy project, be it a large-scale generation project or a simple home solar panel. The deserts of the southern United States provide an ideal location for large-scale solar energy projects. If you want to make use of solar energy in your home, some factors should be considered before you decide where to place solar panels on your roof or elsewhere your property. Home Solar Panels When it comes to determining where on your personal property to place a solar panel, it's important to consider the layout of adjacent buildings, which can affect the sunlight patterns on your property. One way to determine the best positioning is to keep a solar-observation journal for roughly a week. Make notes as to what side of your house receives the most direct sunlight and for how many hours per day. This will require you to take a walk around your home at, roughly, hourly intervals, so you can gather enough data to form a solid conclusion. Once you have tabulated your findings, all that remains is to actually set up the panel or panels in the area that receives the most direct sunlight for the longest time.

The amount of power solar panels produce is determined by the quality of the solar panel, solar cells and technology used in making the solar panel. There are mainly 4 types of solar cells: mono-crystalline, poly-crystalline, amorphous and thin-film (CIS, CIGS). Mono-crystalline – efficiency is in 16% range. PV cell is made from pure mono-crystalline silicon with almost no defects or impurities. High purity mono cells are used to make computer CPU chip, relatively low purity cells are used for solar module. The most common size of mono-crystalline cell is 5”x5” (125x125mm) and 6”x6” (156x156mm). The bigger the size, the harder is to make. Mono-crystalline has a lifetime of 25 to 30 years under normal circumstance. Poly-crystalline – efficiency is in 13% range. PV cell is produced using numerous grades of mono-crystalline silicon. This is less expensive to manufacturing due to simpler processes involved in production compared with mono-crystalline. The most common size of mono-crystalline cell is 5”x5” (125x125mm) and 6”x6” (156x156mm). Poly-crystalline has a lifetime of 20 to 25 years under normal circumstance.
