Solar efficiency – we refer to the electric solar panels -is known to be inferior to the wind turbines efficiency. Solar panels actually are divided into two categories: Solar Heating or Solar Thermal Panels and Electric Solar Panels. Solar Heating Panels have far better efficiency compared to the Electric Solar Panels.
Lab researchers claimed they have improved the solar efficiency recently. While the improvement may not look convincing to us actually it still means a lot. Professor Martin Green and his colleague Anita Ho-Baillie, two scientists at the University of South Wales in Sydney, Australia are said to led a team of U.S. researchers to victory with a multi-cell combination that is able to convert 43 percent of sunlight into electricity. The previous record was 42.7 percent. Read the rest of this entry »

Sun energy can be used directly to cook your meals. Solar oven, a.k.a. solar cooker works in countries with sunny and dry season. The closer you are living to the equator the better it will work. Unlike the solar heating panels solar ovens need no high technology to manufacture so they are not expensive and enable a lot of people to use them. Read the rest of this entry »

Unlike the electric solar panels that convert the sun radiant energy into electricity, solar heating panels – a.k.a. solar thermal panels – use the heat energy given by the sun directly to heat up water or air. By doing this way they work more efficiently because there is no change in the term of energy form. Read the rest of this entry »

Solar energy panels are the front end of solar energy system. Together with other living creatures on earth – the plants and animals- we are depending greatly on the solar energy. None of us can survive without it, and on contrary to the fossil energy, the solar energy is renewable and free. The solar cost is spent mainly on the equipment only because you get the energy free from the nature. Read the rest of this entry »
