Space-based solar power, a solution with potential
Climate change is one of greatest challenges facing humanity and energy resources are one of the most important factors to bear in mind for the creation of a sustainable world. One potential solution could be space-based solar energy. Of all the sources of energy for our planet, the Sun is one of the most powerful, at Solar Mems we know this, and a large part of our technology is centred on our ...

Thermal management of non–concentrating photovoltaic panels under extreme ambient conditions
Solar photovoltaic modules have reduced efficiency levels when the ambient temperature is very high. In this paper, the temperature and the efficiency of a non–concentrating flat plate collector is determined by a one dimensional steady state analysis at different solar radiation levels for the city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia where the radiation intensity and ambient temperatures are very high. The ...

Discover the future of solar energy
At its annual forum, World Economic announced that "by 2030, solar energy could become the most important energy source for electricity and heat production in much of the world." So while solar power remains marginal in the global energy mix, we are forced to see that it is growing exponentially and worldwide. Indeed, solar energy seems to be the great energy of the future due to its multiple ...

The keys to saving energy thanks to the sun
Today, more than ever, we are looking for ways to lower our energy bills while also reducing our impact on the planet. One of the best solutions that we have in Spain is the use of solar energy. In fact, one of Spain's strengths is its large number of sunny days throughout the year: a strength that becomes a real advantage in terms of energy generation and savings. But, what data should we take ...

A brighter future for solar in Texas
I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that. - Thomas Edison, in conversation with Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone, 1931 According to the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO), Texas has the greatest solar energy potential of any state in the country. “If photovoltaic (PV) systems operating ...

Solar Thermal System: Benefits Vs Problems?
Solar thermal systems are the latest green renewable technology that derives energy from the sun to produce heat. This heat is then transferred to warm water for utilization or regulates temperatures within households, offices and even industries. Varying qualities of equipment results in variation of performance in terms of efficiency and quantity of energy being wasted depending upon quality. ...
