DIY Solar Water Heaters
Posted by admin on Mar 18, 2011
Solar water heaters are one among the various applications of solar energy in use today. Commercially produced and prefabricated models are available in the market, but still they cost some money. For those who want to save some cash and who have technical and construction know-how, it is more appealing to build their own solar heater system from scratch and hardware parts.
With the right construction skills and knowledge, you can build a solar water heater with simple and not-too-costly parts. Basically, a solar water heater consists of: a collector that gathers the sun’s energy, a plumbing system that allows the water to be heated by the panels, a water tank that holds the heated water, and in some cases, a storage for excess heat reserved for later use. In many DIY models, the storage for excess heat is not included unless you know where to procure one and how to connect it to your system.
First, let us try to construct the collector. The kind of collecting panel for a solar heater should be highly absorbent of heat energy from the sun. Thin, black, plastic boards or metal plates serve this purpose. The collector is placed upon framing with support on the rooftop or backyard, where an ample supply of sunlight is sure to be found. A layer of plexiglass on the panel will create a “greenhouse effect” and trap any energy collected. Flat type panels are ideal to get evenly distributed amounts of heat.
Next is the plumbing system. Hoses used for conventional heaters can be used for this purpose. Do not use rubber or plastic hoses as they are insulators and not conductors of heat. They are connected behind the black part of the collectors in a coiled manner so as to absorb the heat energy coming from the panels. It is recommended that this be connected to your domestic pumping system, or else it must have its own electric pump so as to ensure a steady supply of water to be heated. You can employ conventional storage tanks with proper insulation for holding your warmed up water.
A simple DIY solar water heater can cost about 50 dollars or more and will take you 3 to 5 hours to assemble. Simple screws, epoxy, duct tape, and metal clamps can be employed in putting the parts together. If you have greater technical know-how, you can enhance your unit with storage units and more efficient panels. The one advantage of the DIY units is that they are limited or made great by the capability of the assembler.

Why Solar Power is Important
Posted by admin on Mar 17, 2011
Solar energy, the radiant light and heat from the sun, has become utilized by the human beings since the very old times using a range of ever-evolving development in technologies. Solar radiation, together with secondary solar-powered resources such as wind and wave energy, hydroelectricity and biomass, account for a lot of the available eco-friendly energy on the planet. Only a minuscule fraction of the available solar powered energy is used. Solar panels (arrays of photovoltaic cells) take advantage of renewable and green energy source through the sun, and are generally a clean and eco-friendly sound means of gathering solar energy.
Solar panels are becoming an item of the catchphrase in the eco-friendly movement these past few decades. Experts have proclaimed the current developments, both scientific innovations and eventually producing triumphs. These people have point at the vivid, glittering and shinning future of the solar power to mankind, more so, with the environment. To beware of what the tradition around solar panels nowadays stands for, what the people associated in the discussion over the future of solar power are referring to, and where the options depart from truth. So it is but helpful to know slightly about the usage and of the solar power in our daily lives.
Nature has given us an unlimited source of energy in the form of solar energy. This is a natural resource, freely available and will never run out while the sun shines. Solar energy is energy from heat and sunlight that has many uses. It can be used to generate electricity using photovoltaic solar cells and solar energy concentrated. It can be used directly for heating buildings through passive solar building design, or cooking and heating food using solar cookers. Solar chimneys can be used to heat and cool air.
Solar power is a kind of renewable energy, and which itself is a huge part of the international green movement’s aim. Solar energy does not make use of any nonrenewable source of energy, there is no burning of the said sources, thus, giving no added pollution to the environment.
Being environmentally friendly involves living within a balance that has to exist among us and our ecosystem, a balance that mankind has too often let drop to the curb in recent times. It implies to reduce our impact on this earth and offset or even eliminate our use of nonrenewable resources. These aims might seem lofty and impractical. Backers of the green movement might counter that the unrealistic position to hold is expecting our varieties to be able to continue consuming as we currently carry out indefinitely with no repercussions. Everything still lies in us. If we want to make a positive change in our environment, we can always do it now.

If solar and wind power generation were judged on 40 year old models?
Posted by admin on Mar 16, 2011
Like nuclear power is. How would they compare?
100 years ago people had windmills to pump water out of wells.
Then the windmills were modified to generate electricity so people could have electric lights and refrigerators.
Then people chucked out their windmills and got connected to the national electricity grid.
Now there is a beginning of a move in the opposite direction.
