Got Sun? Go Solar: Get Free Renewable Energy to Power Your Grid-Tied Home
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Solar Power for your Home
Solar Power (photovoltaics) is now a
one-billion-dollar industry, and it’s poised to grow rapidly in
the near future as more pressure is placed on limited fossil fuel
resources and as advances in solar technology drive down the costs
of residential solar systems. This book helps
readers understand the basics of solar power and other renewable
energy sources, explore whether solar power makes sense for them,
what their options are, and what’s involved with installing
various on and off-grid systems.
Solar Energy Fundamentals and Modeling Techniques: Atmosphere,
Environment, Climate Change and Renewable Energy
Solar irradiation is the fundamental initiator of
the different renewable energy alternatives, including wind, wave,
hydrogen and biomass energy sources. Solar Energy
Fundamentals and Modelling Techniques presents the methods
of quantitative determination of solar irradiation incident amount
on a surface on the Earth. The book collects together material
from the current literature in atmospheric environmental sciences,
climate change, meteorology, engineering and renewable energy,
liberally illustrated by diagrams and worked examples.
2007-2008 Solar Energy - Complete Guide to Solar Power
and Photovoltaics, Practical Information on Heating, Lighting,
and Concentrating, Energy Department Research, Grants (Two
CD-ROM Set) by U.S. Government
This up-to-date and comprehensive electronic book on two
CD-ROMs presents an incredible and totally revised collection of
important documents and publications about solar energy, solar
heating and lighting, solar concentrating technology, and photovoltaic
(PV) solar power cells. Encyclopedic coverage of every
practical aspect of solar power, heating, electricity, and
research is thoroughly covered in this incredible collection!

Viable solar energy technology topics covered include: Solar
Cells * photovoltaic (PV) power * flat-plate
PV * concentrating PV * off-grid
* on-grid * conversion efficiencies * solar
thermal electric * the existing solar industry
* DOE research goals and targets * Thermal dishes
* towers * troughs * central generation * passive solar
* solar water heating * solar heating
and lighting * nanotechnology solar cells
* organic solar cells * abbreviations and
acronyms. Solar energy technologies have great potential to
benefit our nation. They can diversify our energy supply, reduce
our dependence on imported fuels, improve the quality of the air
we breathe, offset greenhouse gas emissions, and stimulate our
economy by creating jobs in the manufacturing and installation of
solar energy systems. Concentrating Solar Power: CSP
systems use reflective materials that concentrate the
sun's heat energy to drive a generator that produces electricity.
Photovoltaics: PV systems use semiconductor
materials that convert sunlight directly to electricity. Solar
Heating: Solar collectors absorb the sun's energy to provide
low-temperature heat used directly for hot water or space heating
for residential or commercial buildings. Solar Lighting:
Parabolic collectors focus sunlight into a fiber optic
system to illuminate building interiors with sunlight. The Solar
America Initiative (SAI) is a part of the President's
Advanced Energy Initiative and will accelerate the
development of advanced photovoltaic materials with the goal of
making it cost-competitive with other forms of renewable
electricity by 2015. The U.S. Department of Energy Solar
Energy Technology Program (SETP) will achieve the goals
of the SAI through partnerships and strategic alliances with
industry participants, universities, federal and state government,
and other nongovernmental agencies by focusing primarily on four
areas: Market Transformation activities that address marketplace
barriers and offer the opportunity for market expansion * Device
and Process Proof of Concept R&D activities
addressing novel devices or processes with potentially significant
performance or cost advantages * Component Prototype and
Pilot-Scale Production R&D activities emphasizing
development of prototype PV components or systems produced at
pilot-scale with demonstrated cost, reliability, or performance
advantages * System Development and Manufacturing
collaborative R&D activities among industry and
university.
