Solar Energy Advantages

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.

Hey Guitar Man, you’ve opened a can of worms on this one, I’ll explain. Bloodletter and Crazines are both quite right, for different reasons. The formula for Power is Energy times Time, you can find that in lots of engineering text books. So technically the terms are not interchangeable, but they do refer to the same thing in your case. The other side of it is that these are terms technicians use both in theory and in the field. We have a house that is powered by a solar array in the Upper Midwest. When I started researching all this almost 12 years ago, I had the same problem with terms. In the renewable energy field, "Solar Energy," is a term that describes exactly that, how much energy is streaming in from the sun. You can feel it as heat when it strikes your skin. You can also convert it to heat to heat water, air, or some other medium, and you can convert it to electricity using a photovoltaic, or solar panel. Once this conversion is done however, it is no longer considered solar energy. It might be heat energy if you are heating water, or electrical energy if you are running a light bulb, or even chemical energy if you are charging a battery. But to make things easier to understand, most technicians refer to any of these energys that are originally made from solar energy as, "Solar Power." This way it is easier to keep separate from other power sources, like natural gas, utility electricity, or even firewood in discussions. It is power derived from solar energy. Our home gets most of its electricity from our solar array, but can be switched over to the grid if there is a shortage, or mechanical problem. When we switch back and forth, we refer to the power as being, "Solar Power," or, "Utility Power." Again, these are not terms you will find in an engineering text book, but most everyone you say it too understands the difference, that’s why we use them, for clarity.

I’ll list some non profit groups below that you can look up online if you want to try to learn more, but it might not be easy to get an exact source for your school work at any of them. Maybe one of them will have a search engine at their website that can direct you to an explanation you can quote in your work.

I like your handle by the way, Gibsons are great. Do you know if they are still manufacturing guitars in Kalamazoo? Good luck with your school project, and take care.

Solar power means converting of the sun’s rays to electricity while in the other hand solar energy is a more generic term that means any technology that converts the sun’s energy. Thus, solar power is included in this category – sun energy.

Nice website design and great information. Thanks, looking forward to your feed updates…

Thank you for this particular outstanding review; this is the variety of advantage that is constantly me though out the day.We’ve always heard really been searching around for one’s web page immediately after I over heard about these from a friend and was thrilled when I was able to come across it soon after looking for some time.

I just wished to opinion to display my appreciation for a publish as it is rather reassuring, and lots of freelancers tend not to get the credit score they ought to have. I am sure I’ll be again and will send a few of my acquaintances.

Thank you for share very nice knowledges What a cool site.

Hey Blogger,When you write some blogs and share with us,that is a hard work for you but share makes you
happly right?
good luck and cheers!

I never thought I would agree with this opinion, but I’m starting to see things differently.

Hi

Not just friendly and beneficial for one’s economy, Solar Water Heating systems are also very environment friendly and use energy generated from the Sun’s light in order to heat up the water. With efficient storage facilities being a part of the complete system, water remains hot throughout the day and night, providing you with a source of hot water at all times.

Interesting layout on your blog. I really enjoyed reading it and also I will be back to read more in the future.

Wow, I never new that, much appreciated.

Hi ? very good site you have created. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to write a remark to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically pleasing. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor. I have always enjoyed working with computers and am trying to learn code in my spare time.

I had heard Obama quote something similar when talking about the differences in opinion between he and former-primary-competitor, now running mate, Joe Biden. He said that he wanted to surround himself with people other than yes-men, so he could hear and debate thoughts different from his own.

Interesting info. Great post, have a good day!

Hi administrator, I’ve got a little request. I had been simply just searching for information on the subject you wrote and found this post. Some great stuff you posted here. May i please discuss this particular post on my latest web site I am working on? This would be terrific . I will check back yet again later on to find out how you replied. Thanks, Hassie Noth
