Hardly a day goes by without us reading about the news of impending power crisis that will hit us hard and hit us where it hurts the most. Most of them state of doomsday when there will be no power left on earth. We are using up the natural fuel resources at a very fast pace and at current trends, the resources of natural fuel that are used to run the power plants will not last more than a few decades. What will mankind do after that? Will there be no power left in this planet and shall we all stay in darkness at night? If you are among them who do not keep themselves updated with the latest trends, you should check out the net and learn a bit about solar power technology.
This technology allows us to harness the energy of sunlight and convert the same to electric power that can be used to drive our residential electric equipments. Nobody can forecast about the future but, as of date, there are no charges for using the power of sunlight. It is free for all to use and thus it provides us with the best option as an energy source. Check out the Internet and you will find that there are many sites that are offering solar cell kits at low prices. These kits can be assembled by anyone who has a slight knowledge of soldering and set up on their premises to harness the light of the sun and convert it into electric energy.
There are a number of sites that sell assembled solar panels, but they are quite costly and are not affordable by one and all. On the other hand, the solar kits are quite cheap and pay of their costs within a few months of usage. The time period depending on how much power the user consumes per month. Though these kits are available in different sizes and have different power outputs, most of them have yet to utilize or harness the light of the sun totally. Most of them convert about 30% of sunlight into power since they cannot utilize all the wavelengths of the light emitted by the sun. However there are a few organizations in the world that are working on this problem and have reported successes.
It is expected that, in a few years, solar cells with capabilities to harness and effectively convert 50% or more of sunlight into power energy will be widely available at low prices. Till that time comes, one can go in for the general kits that are available in the market. Even if they are able to convert only 30% of sunlight into electric power, this too is no mean amount and will help to cut down your power bills substantially. Most such solar power kits that are dependant on the current solar power technology pay of for themselves within a few months of use. These panels are also environment friendly.
New Solar Power Technology
Our planet is warming, and we are helping make it happen by adding more heat-trapping gases, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), to the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuel (oil, coal, and natural gas) alone accounts for about 75 percent of annual CO2 emissions from human activities. Deforestation—the cutting and burning of forests that trap and store carbon—accounts for about another 20 percent.
The United States currently produces 70 percent of its electricity from fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil, but only two percent from renewable sources. Since the burning of fossil fuels releases large amounts of carbon dioxide—the leading cause of global warming—but renewable energy does not, increasing the share of our electricity generated from renewable resources is one of the most effective ways to reduce global warming emissions.
There is a new wave in solar power tech. We are at the forefront of new innovations. However, these new designs will not be available until the beginning of 2008. REnU Polycrystalline or multi-crystalline solar cells in its core technology has already been proven to last in the field of over 25 years. It is on a par with current locked rates and fixed price guarantees.
Vertical integration of this system will produce clean power during peak sun hours. Interconnecting this solar system with electricity grids will offer excellent net metering in excess of generation.
There is no system purchase, no installation cost, no maintenance fees, no permit hassles, no performance worries, rate increases, and MUCH, MUCH, MORE advantages and benefits.
Rethink renewable energy and become part of the solution by installing a more environmentally friendly electricity-generating asset. Check out the short video on my website at http://jointhesolution.com/microcosm (upper right portion of the page).
Make your reservation today before our unique source of solar grade silicon manufacturing plants become active. You lock in the current rates of your electrical bill or the lowest rate. When the manufacturing plant reaches maximum production, solar systems could be installed on up to 100,000 homes per year. If you wait until the plants are completed, there will be tens and possibly hundreds of thousands of customers who will get their system before you.
Installation on select residential customer homes will be available as soon as panels are available. The wait could be much longer depending on when your local franchise is established and the distance of their location. (1 year minimum contract) To be
a part of the solution to bring solar power to homeowners, please visit http://powur.com/microcosm.
Scientists agree that if we wait 10, 20, or 50 years, the problem will be much more difficult to address and the consequences for us will be that much more serious. Our atmosphere has limits too. CO2 remains in the atmosphere for about 100 years. The longer we keep polluting, the longer it will take to recover and the more irreversible damage will be done.
By investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency, and increasing the efficiency of the cars we drive, we can take essential steps toward reducing our dependence on oil and other fossil fuels that cause global warming. Using energy more efficiently and moving to renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal, and bioenergy) would significantly reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases.
For years we have heard so much about the causes of climate change, that we’ve missed the fact that there are simple, practical solutions that can slow this growing problem. Technologies exist today that can cut emissions of heat-trapping gases and make a real difference in the health of our planet. And these solutions will be good for our economy, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and enhance our energy security. -Kini at http://microcosm.ws
