is solar power different from solar energy?
Posted by admin on Jul 2, 2010
i need to do a project on somesort of energy and decided to do solar energy, i wanted to do how solar energy is used to create electricity and power home however thats pretty much solar power, would solar power still fit in to energy, would doing a project on solar power as an energy project be ok or are they too far apart from eachother?
power and energy are related to each other by the equation:
P = E / T
Where:
P = power
E = energy
T = time
So the amount of power you are using is the amount of energy you use divided by the time it takes to use it in. In other words, power is how fast the energy is coming in. You can rearrange that equation for energy and get:
E = P * T
Energy is the amount of power your using multiplied by the amount of time you’re using it for. If you use 1 kilowatt of power for 1 hour, that’s 1 kilowatt hour (kwh) of energy. kwh is the unit of energy the electric company uses when they bill you.
so yes, solar energy and solar power refer to the same thing, which is converting photons from the sun into electricity.
how close are we to getting solar power cost-effectively?

We are already there. It costs less than the average swimming pool, which many middle class families find the money to install. My system will pay for itself in 6-7 years, then I’ll have another 18 years of free electriity, how much more affordable can it be.
Does living "off the grid" just refer to solar power or wind mills?

I’m looking for a piece of property in northern Fla./southern Ga. I want to make it as self sufficient as possible. Growing my own vegetables, raising my own protein sources and such. I’ve looked into solar power and wind mills as power sources. Both seem feasible but which is best? Also is there anything else I can/should do? I plan on living there the rest of my life and any suggestions are welcome.
I looked over some of your other questions. At first I figured you to be a teenager, wanting to live the perfect "green lifestyle."
Read your health problems. Now I see why the earthship answers probably received thumbs down. Earthships are the best type of home to build. However I do not think you would be physically up to pounding all that dirt, and it’s extremely hard to hire having an earthship built.
To answer you question, you really need to have a mix of power sources. There will be days the sun does not shine enough to charge the batteries…but the wind is probably blowing.
If you are going to be off grid entirely, you need a mix of 2-5 different sources for your household power.
We will be building entirely off grid. We live in the Pacific Northwest, about 20 miles from the Canadian border. So we can have some pretty cold and snowy winters.
We will have wind, active solar, passive solar, a Central Boiler (brand name), hydro if we can legally, wood stoves (heat), wood cook stove, solar gain from the proper positioning of our home, wind cooling of our home from proper possitioning. We debate installing gas appliances run on propane. That however makes us dependent on companies and we don’t really want that. Natural Gas is not an option where we are.
Active solar…charges batteries and provides electric for your use.
Passive solar…only heats up water, and provides hot water that way.
Wind turbines produce electricity
Wind mills grind grain, or pump water
Skystream 3.7 makes a very good wind turbine product for homeowners. Here’s a link:

For a protien source, you really need to check out goats. Both the meat, and the milk from goats. Do some research, you may be suprised at how good they are for you, and how gentle both are for the human body to digest.
If you are building your own house, build it to take maximum advantage of solar gain for winter, and prevailing winds for cooling. You can make 50 degree differences in your home just by doing that.
Only build/buy in an area where it is legal for you to have a rainwater catch system. Install a metal roof on your home, and catch your own rainwater.
Start to make lists of what is extremely important to you (cannot live without) and what you are willing to be flexible on. Start doing lots of research. Check books out from your local library and read up on your topics of interest.
Think outside the box (or maybe in the box!). Those places you mentioned are very termite prone. Concider using Conex boxes to build your home. They are made of metal, and easy to use to build homes. You can insulate the outside of them, and get rid of the industrial box look. Best of all, termites cannot eat them!

Can anybody help! I need weird facts (about energy) like how much energy a shower will use this is for scienc?
Posted by admin on Jul 2, 2010
e homework and stuff and oh any info about solar energy, nuclear energy, wind turbine energy, tidal wave energy, fossil fuel energy and etc would be helpful.
check out your power companies website. They probably have some info for some of the stuff you’re looking for. Try ameren.com

If we must be truthful to ourselves, then we all can concur that we are really facing an energy crisis as a matter of fact.
It makes a whole lot of sense to consider the advantages of solar energy as a source of your electrical energy.
With rising energy prices, dwindling fossil fuel supplies, and environmental and human concerns, all ears are attuned to the solar energy possibilities.
Simply put, that the solar generator is a gadget that runs all your electrical appliances by making use of the solar energy. The gadget transform solar energy into electrical energy by making use of photovoltaic cells. This solar generator is as well called “the solar lighting system”.
But using solar energy to power intrusive government devices and using solar energy to power your house are worlds apart, and the question on everyone’s minds is, “Is solar energy all it’s cracked up to be, and how practical is it to consider using solar energy to power my home?”
Facts about solar energy :
· Solar energy is a renewable resource
(it may go away at night, but we will always have it.)
· Solar energy will not pollute our air with carbon dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gases and bad emissions.
Solar energy can be used on different aspects. Solar energy will be used in agriculture. Greenhouses (which is entirely different from greenhouse gas) convert solar light-weight to heat to be maximized in enhancing the growth of plants and crops.
Greenhouses has been around since the Roman times and modern greenhouses were engineered in Europe in sixteenth century. Greenhouses are still an important part of horticulture nowadays,
I can testify now that nearly everybody is searching for ways to go green and more energy efficient. To welcome alternative energy production methods, there are lots of reasons for that.
Also little does some folks understand that by making use of solar power is a big way to enhance the environmentally friendliness of your house and yet lead a modern life with all the conveniences.
You can save a lot of money
Solar power costs about 80% less than your current utility bill. So if your electric bill now runs $150 per month, with solar power your electric bill would only cost $40.
Generating your own power at least pays you an extra $100 every month. And that’s if you pay a modest $150 a month for your utilities – $400 or more is not an uncommon “normal” utility bill…
Can you really afford to not use solar energy in your home?
You want to know the solar energy benefits or maybe the solar energy advantages?
