			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many solar panels would you need to equal the energy output of 1kg of U-235?</p>
<p>if 1kg  of U-235 can produce 80 trillion joules (8&#215;10^13 J) of energy how many solar panels would you need to equal this amount of energy?</p>
<p>Any info would be very much appreciated!<br />
<br />Unless the student is supposed to be able to calculate how long it takes the U-235 to produce that amount of energy, there is not enough information. If that is within the scope of the course, the question is way out of my league.</p>
<p>But assuming you just left out the time when stating the problem, divide that into 80 trillion to get joules/sec. </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say the time is 40 billion seconds* for the U-235 to generate 80 trillion J. Divide 80 trillion by 40 billion, that&#8217;s 2,000 J/sec. You would need 10 panels. (A typical panel produces 200 Joules/sec.)</p>
<p>*That&#8217;s a LOT of seconds, even a lot of centuries. By then the solar panels would have worn out and crumbled into dust, so it&#8217;s a silly question in that sense. Is the teacher trying to make a point about the futility of solar power?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Serious discussion here.</p>
<p>How feasible is the idea of communities, towns, even whole cities being powered by <a href='http://www.solarenergy4home.com/solar/energy'>solar energy</a>?  At the most, how about these communities being fractionally powered by <a href='http://www.solarenergy4home.com/solar/energy'>solar energy</a>; 40% Solar/ 60% Fossil fuels?  </p>
<p>We&#8217;re not getting all George Jetson, here.  We have practical means by which to make something like this happen.  My research has lead me to believe the problem comes in with the initial setup.</p>
<p>If this is so, what would it take to materialize the dollars?  Should each State solicit a &#8217;<a href='http://www.solarenergy4home.com/solar/energy'>solar energy</a>&#8217; tax; money dedicated to fund R&amp;D solutions for citizens?  Is it something that can be solicited to big business in exchange for free plugins; Staples invests in a solar power grid in Downtown Los Angeles&#8230; and calls it &#8216;The Staples Power Center&quot;.</p>
<p>Wikipedia:</p>
<p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power</p>
<p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power#Advantages_and_disadvantages_of_Solar_power</p>
<p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_ponds</p>
<p>First of all, look for existing incentives from the federal and state government.  Federally, there is a 30% tax credit and some states offer as much as $5.00 per Watt rebates.  You can get more information here: http://www.desireusa.org </p>
<p>Secondly, there are some up and coming technologies that will offer better economics than PV panels in the near future.  Check out http://www.infiniacorp.com/<br />
http://www.sandia.gov and http://www.nrel.gov</p>
<p>Third, for the kind of project you describe, it really comes down to financing.  This will be easiest if you are planning to build a new community.  Find a lender (bank or government) that will allow home-buyers to roll the <a href='http://www.solarenergy4home.com/solar/energy'>solar energy</a> system into their mortgage.  This practice, along with a healthy rebate, helped to make Japan the PV capital of the world a few years back.</p>
<p>On a larger scale, many states are enacting renewable portfolio standards which legally require utilities to generate a certain fraction of power from solar, wind or biomass.  RPS programs are also described on the DSIRE website listed above.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What are engineering challenges to develop <a href='http://www.solarenergy4home.com/solar/energy'>solar energy</a> for comfort/home uses?<br />
<br />Solar is an old technology now and is fairly developed. Cost is a bit of a barrier but that is coming down quickly. Production scale could also be considered a barrier, as the industry can&#8217;t yet make enough solar panels to satisfy demand. The panels themselves are limited in how much energy they can take out of the sun&#8217;s rays, but they are getting better at this. Materials are a big thing now, mostly in trying out different materials and structures in the cells to bring down the cost and boost the efficiency.<br />
I came accross a new, proven and tested home made wind power system and solar power system which eliminates our electricity bills. It was written by a Renewable energy enthusiasts Michael Harvey the diy called Earth4energy. You can get your copy to save energy and help environment while eliminating your power bills. Get it from here:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was wondering which would save more money in the electricity arena (I know tree&#8217;s can damage roofs).<br />
I had heard that the shade provided by trees covering your house can help to greatly reduce summer electric bills.<br />
I had read that Solar panels need to go onto the south side of the house, and that is where the tree&#8217;s shade the house. So which is more cost effective?<br />
Also I know many of the benefit&#8217;s tree&#8217;s can provide, as well as the negatives associated with large tree&#8217;s near houses.<br />
<br />Unless your house has a hundred acres of roof, the solar panels will save more electricity.  If your electric company provides net metering, you may even find yourself making a bit of money as they buy back power you don&#8217;t need.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, solar panels come with a hefty price tag, similar to the cost of a car, whereas trees (of any portable size) tend to cost less than $100.</p>
<p>You can of course have both, but then the solar panels will not be quite as effective, and for the investment you put in to them, you will want them to be effective.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a small panel of solar cells, i wish to save this energy for lighting my study lamp, how do i do it?<br />
How much energy will it hold? How do i convert it to light?<br />
Please help friends.<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />You will need a way to store the energy gained my solar panel.  </p>
<p>Way 1, 12 volt battery.  to store this way, I suggest a regulator to prevent your battery overloading, though this is not always needed.  This is the most common way.</p>
<p>Way 2, wire up a capacitor.  this is a type of temporary battery, as it stores electrical charge and releases it on its full capacity.  This way is good if you want lighting in a cellar during daytime</p>
<p>Way 3, use the electric you gain to pump water to a high point and then use gravity to create hydro electric whenever you need it.  This way works, but you lose energy.</p>
<p>If you want to run lights off a battery, you will need some 12 volt bulbs, as these work of different electricity than normal household bulbs.  You can cheat and use car head light bulbs, or go for the real things and buy proper 12 volt bulbs to fit a lamp-stand.</p>
<p>Unless you disconnect your household light circuit from the mains, you will need an extra set of wiring.</p>
<p>In short, the most simple way, if you put your panel in the window, lead the two wires to your battery, ensuring you connect each wire to the correct terminal (the panel will instruct which is which).  From the battery, take a wire off each terminal and fix to the light bulb holder, and an extra wire from the negative battery terminal to an earth source, such as a copper water pipe.  Don&#8217;t worry, it wont electrocute you &#8211; there isn&#8217;t enough power for that.  </p>
<p>Simplifying it, wiring a light bulb is just like wiring a car.  The same applies to both.  The only difference being that you charge your battery via a solar panel instead of an alternator.  </p>
<p>How long your light will stay on will depend on a multitude of things, such as the condition of your battery, the power output of your panel, how many lights you run and for how long.  The amount of sun that hits your panel will also affect the charge rate of your battery.  ?And there are many different types of battery.  I personally recommendd the armed forces surplus alkaline type, as they can be depleted of charge without damage, though if you cannot get one of these, get a long life leisure battery.</p>
<p>It all sounds complicated, but it&#8217;s not really.  Contact me if you need more help&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who stands to benefit the most if Obama wins and gives tax credits for purchasing <a href='http://www.solarenergy4home.com/solar/energy'>solar energy</a> products?<br />
<br />No disrespect, but the capless solar tax credit extension already passed as part of the bailout bill.</p>
<p>To me, the most compelling case for solar (both water heating and electricity) is on individual homes, as when that is done, it displaces retail energy.  If one makes a giant solar power plant, the energy must be sold wholesale, and transmitted to another place.</p>
<p>So to have a solar boom, individual homeowners must be swayed.  There is a large initial investment, so solar might not do very well in a down economy.  People will be more worried about their next meal than energy efficiency.  Also, the initial cost of a solar array is like a car.  And if you look at the impact that tight credit has had on car sales, there is another potential problem.</p>
<p>But after all this, if you&#8217;re looking for long term investments, I think solar will do well.  There are few barriers to entry on the installation business &#8211; I think it will be hundreds of small businesses that benefit, not one large one, any more than one company dominates roofing or electrical work nationally.  AKNS is the one large installation company, but I personally would not invest in them, because of the lack of barriers to entry.</p>
<p>As far as photovoltaic panel makers, the largest ones are in Asia &#8211; Sharp, Kyocera, Suntech, Sanyo, Mitsubishi.  There are also literally dozens of small fry, who will probably get killed or absorbed in the next year or two.  In the USA, there&#8217;s First Solar (FSLR) of course, which I think is overvalued, Sunpower (SPWRA), same opinion, and other places like Energy Conversion Devices and Evergreen, that I don&#8217;t know much about.</p>
