Solar Energy Panels: Commercial and Home Use

The time is ripe to build solar panels for businesses and homes alike getting the best out of your solar energy investment.

 

The demand for the solar energy is on the rise these days. The  increased concern about the Global Warming and various widespread forms of pollutions has resulted in growing concern about the alternative sources of energy. There has been observed a dire need for the the non-polluting forms of energy, of which Solar panels is an important example.

Installable anywhere on top of the roofs

These days there is a trend on the part of retail houses to use panels atop the roofs of their showrooms for meeting energy needs. The idea behind this is to cut down the indoor operating costs, to ensure the working at cheaper cost levels. Thus switching over to the Solar panels pays back to the retailers in long term in form of savings on the bills of taxes. In addition it is also the deserving contribution to the great cause of environmental conservation and campaigns. The well known eco-friendly aspects of solar energy utilization are well demonstrated in this way.

Printable Panels- A New Craze

Konarka Technologies ,a company in solar energy sector in association with Massachusetts based technology collaboration has came out with a novel type of -Printable solar panels. These panels based on inkjet printing techniques has significantly reduced the manufacturing costs of these panels. The interesting thing about theses panels is that these can be coated or printed directly onto the surface exposed to the sunlight. This has proved a major breakthrough in application of solar energy use methods.

Solar Panel borne cellular phones

Now solar panels are not all about the bulky and spacious frames mounted on stands in open and rooftops. Solar panels has found their way onto straps of cellular phones owing to the efforts of a Japanese team working hereupon. Now there shall be no need to worry about forgetting your mobile phone charger somewhere else, thanks to the solar panels enabled cellular phones. The strap shall contain solar panels to catch solar energy required for function of the gadget. Presently this technology is being provided by Strap-ya and is known as solar charge EC. Such technology is going to make the telecommunication too eco-friendly than the chemical based batteries.

Now solar energy driven space vehicles

Presently great effort is underway on the part of researchers for developing the sophisticated solar panels which can be used for powering space ships. Such panels shall most probably have silicon infused amorphous forms. A contract has been executed between r Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at New Mexico and United Solar Ovonic to collaborate upon the development of airship and spacecraft purpose solar panels. The first lot of solar panels develop[ed by Solar Ovonic has shown light weight properties and is mounted upon stainless steel.

Solar panels on fabrics

The extremely thin and modifiable solar panels are being developed by Japanese companies to suit mimic fabrics. Furthermore such type of solar panels can be desirably colored like cloth, Thus the days of eco-friendly garments is not a distant dream.

The Advantages of Solar Panels
People who are concerned about the world and the environment are learning how to make solar panels because of its many benefits.

How Do You Install Residential Solar Panels?
How Do You Put In Solar Panels? If one has purchased this alternative energy system but hasn’t figured its installation part just yet, this is the primary query one would ask.

Making Solar Energy More Affordable
Light, flexible solar panels made with nanotechnology will soon bring down the cost of installing household solar energy systems.
