How to Build Your Own Solar Power System and Eliminate Your Electric Bills

Posted by admin on Jan 29, 2012

http://www.EnergyBrainiac.com – How to Build Your Own Solar Power System and Eliminate Your Electric Bills
If you want to build your own solar power system but do not know where or how to start, you need to have someone or something to guide you along. Although there are lots of books written on DIY system to generate electricity from solar energy, not many actually brings you through the detailed steps to building one on your own. What the majority of guides do is give people tons of general information with no specific steps to get you started. Therefore, it is important that you go for a guide that is so simple to follow even for a DIY novice. Here we look at the topics that should be covered to enable you to build your own solar power system.

Essential topics you need to build your own solar power system:

1. Overview of how the solar energy system works. This will include different components that are used in the system as well as their functions.

2. Sourcing of components. Before you even start to think about how to build your own solar power system, the components required for the project has to be ready. A good guide will provide useful information on how one can obtain the parts easily at the lowest costs. In fact, I know of a guide that gives you tips of getting the necessary hardware for less than $200. Read on to find out more.

3. Step-by-step instructions of how to build your own solar power system. Those of you who have done electrical DIY projects before should know that building a power generator entails many considerations and calculations on the current and voltage requirements. It is not as simple as Lego where you simply fix the pieces together and hope that it works. The guide should have all these details.

4. Tracking of the amount of energy the system is producing and storage of excess electrical energy. For such a system to be complete, you need some sort of method to measure the amount of electricity you are producing. Since you will not be using all the electricity you need all the time, there will be some excess and it is important to store it for later use especially at night when the sunlight is not present.

Optional topics that may be useful:

1. How to design off-grid and on-grid system. Designing an on-grid system enables home owners to contribute electricity to everyone else on the same grid. In certain states of US, the energy companies will compensate these homes in monetary reward for doing so. Off-grid system on the other hand, encompasses topics like how to build your own solar power system that you can bring along everywhere you go, like camping for example.

2. Building a wind turbine to generate electricity. Some guides provide this information which is also very useful.

How Does a Stirling Engine Work and Its Use in Solar Thermal Technology for Energy Generation

Posted by admin on Jan 20, 2012

Visit – http://www.SolarStirlingPlants.net – A Stirling engine is extremely simple heat exchange engine and works by low temperature difference between two metal surfaces. One surface is heated at one end of the engine while other is cooled down on the other end, causing the air to expand near the hot surface (high temperature) and compress near the cold surface (low temperature). This expansion and compression of air within the engine cylinder enables the movement of displacer or piston in upward and downward motion between the two surfaces into a cycle or loop. This efficient heat engine was invented by Robert Stirling in 1816 as an alternative to steam engines at that time and a great contribution in heat engine technology.

Stirling Engine Basics Explained

An ideal model for understanding the basics of a Stirling engine consists of a closed cylinder containing two metal surfaces (aluminium) at top and bottom of the cylinder. A displacer is placed between the two plates which is connected to a flywheel through a wire to transfer mechanical energy during upward motion. When one plate is heated for example; bottom plate, the air near that plate expands and causing the displacer to move upward. On the other hand flywheel is connected to a small piston which takes the mechanical energy from flywheel and push the displacer to aid in downward motion. When displacer reaches top position the small piston moves downward enabling the compress air to fill in the cylinder and push the displacer downward. Making a loop of upward and downward motion of both displacer and piston, resulting in the circular motion of flywheel.

Use in Solar Thermal Technology

In solar thermal technology we use heat energy from sunlight into mechanical energy to drive a generator or turbine to generate electricity. Stirling engine serves exactly the same purpose and they are very powerful solar power generators and produce clean and free renewable energy. Stirling Engines are used in solar thermal technology within solar dishes where a large parabolic reflector directs the sunlight into one focal point where Stirling engine is placed which then runs by using this heat energy from sunlight and giving mechanical energy to generate electricity. Solar thermal dishes are used in both residential and commercial electricity generation. Stirling engine powered solar dishes for residential use are comparatively smaller in size and generate around 1-2 kW of electricity. Whereas in commercial use a large single engine powered solar dish can generate up to 25kW (kiloWatt) of electricity.

Your geographical location is important in deciding if solar thermal engines are best option for you. Solar thermal engines are best choice for users in areas that get lot of sunlight throughout the year and not so good for areas that get lot of snow and less sunlight.

One of the best way to understand this extremely simple engine is to purchase a small DIY Stirling engine model. For further reading and buying a model please check http://www.SolarStirlingPlant.net History and Basics as well as it’s use in renewable energy.
