FORD Motors, the most famous auto concern in the United States, periodically created projects that no one believed in. 100 years ago, the legendary Henry Ford was the first to use the assembly line, 50 years ago, his grandson created a racing car that won on the Le Mans track
Until the second half of 2010, photovoltaic panels were used very rarely as a source of energy for greenhouses. Due to the opacity of the cells, the batteries could occupy only 10 to 30% of the greenhouse roof area. This limited the productivity of the installations and reduced the amount
Solar panels and auxiliary structures of solar power plants are known for their reliability, mechanical strength and resistance to adverse weather conditions. However, certain maintenance and care procedures are necessary. Performing a series of simple tasks on a regular basis will not only ensure maximum performance of your station, but
Logic and “cruel” reality Example of Turkmenistan Calculation with ready studies Logic and “cruel” reality So, the task arose to move from empirical conclusions in the field of solar energy to mathematical ones. First, some theory: First you need to decide on our energy source in a mathematical form, namely,
The ideas of Elon Musk and his “solar tiles” quickly found followers around the world. One of the companies that brought to life a similar technology was the British Roof Tiles Technology Ltd. Its BiSolar ceramic roof tiles with integrated solar cells have a power density of 175 W/m 2
In addition to Space X’s breakthroughs in the space industry, Elon Musk is making his other company, Tesla Motors, more and more successful. Another news that excited the automotive world was the news of the intention of the famous billionaire to start his own production of revolutionary batteries. At the
For most Americans today, the ideal home should have floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows that freely let in sunlight. However, in summer, such windows get very hot, and in winter they serve as poor protection from the cold. As a result, households spend a lot of money on cooling and heating, and
Providing private homes with energy from alternative sources is becoming an increasingly profitable investment. It remains only to make the right choice between solar and wind power plants, since the efficiency of each of them depends on a number of features of the installation site. Let’s try to figure out
An advanced perovskite-silicon solar cell has been tested in various weather conditions. The tests have clarified how the current-voltage characteristics of tandem roof-mounted panels will differ from the corresponding parameters obtained in the laboratory. The design of innovative solar cells is usually optimized for laboratories. The panels are tested and
The United States on Saturday ushered in a new era of space travel by launching astronauts into orbit for the first time by a private company. The two American astronauts lifted off at 3:22 p.m. (10:22 p.m. ET) from the Florida launch pad that once served the Apollo missions and
When leaving the house for a long time – for example, on multi-day hiking trips – the owners of various electronic gadgets face the problem of recharging them. To date, the ideal devices for this are solar-powered chargers. In this article, we will present a brief overview of the TOP
The number of SPPs around the world is increasing by about 20% per year. Their overall productivity and popularity among businessmen and the population is growing even faster. To understand why a solar power plant is becoming a serious competitor to fossil fuels, you need to start with what kind
Be it a humble abode adorned with a solar panel or an expansive commercial enterprise, these software programs shall guide you towards design and management with utmost efficacy. Over a hundred programs, both paid and free, exist with the intent of calculating performance, diminishing risks, and amplifying the profitability of
On Wednesday, July 10, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine signed a Memorandum with the European-Ukrainian Energy Agency and the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association (UAVE refused to sign the document) on the restructuring of the “green” tariff. In the current situation and the existing “green tariffs”, the state now simply
The German company SINN Power has gained wide popularity in Europe since 2015 as a developer of the most innovative and unusual energy systems. Over the past five years, the Bavarians have successfully supplied solar, wind and wave generators and batteries to the market. And in 2020, they patented the
Despite the rapid development of alternative energy in Ukraine, the vast majority of the inhabitants are not even aware of the existence of our own production of photovoltaics in our country. However, such enterprises exist, and the products of some of them are in demand even abroad. In this article,
Solar trackers are specialized structures whose task is to periodically change the orientation of photovoltaic panels or mirrors relative to the sun. The angle of inclination of the working surfaces is adjusted manually or automatically, which allows you to achieve the highest possible performance of solar systems of any type.
More recently, I had the opportunity to test two variants of flexible solar panels from China. Perhaps the results of my tests and the useful information received can be useful to you in the future. Especially if you have a desire to order the right batteries on Ali Express. Now
When it comes to installing large solar power plants, it is important to choose the right location for them. For it to be ideal, it is necessary to take into account certain and common factors for all cases: an abundance of sunlight, lack of shading, a large free space and
Energy derived from renewable sources is a trend all over the world today. The development of alternative energy is aimed at improving the environment, reducing the use of traditional (exhaustible) energy sources, the energy independence of both private households and the state as a whole, and also has favorable prospects
