Introduction. The Use Of Solar Energy Has Increased Exponentially

Overall, this group project went very well and was completed on time due to the fact there everyone including myself assigned ourselves with a task role, relational role and from the start had individual roles present such as leader, compromiser, and gatekeepers in the group that made it

PROJECT PURPOSE (Describe the project, identify major issues, clarify the vision, and describe the strategies used to create the desired outcome.)

I am certain that all have heard of the terms green house gases, fossil fuels, and global warming. Have you ever questioned what will happen if nothing is done about the environmental problems facing the world today? What if I answer you that, we can merely use the power from the sun to power up our entire planet without the use of harmful energy sources, which affect our atmosphere? The power from the sun is what we call solar power. Solar power is the energy that comes from the sun as light and heat energy, and then it is later converted into electrical energy through solar panels (Nelson, 2008). This kind of power is completely free, right? Why should we put a lot of expense on other sources of energy, when there is a complete free

Solar power or what is commonly referred to as solar energy is the energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. This form of energy is the cleanest and most abundant since it is almost everywhere in the world. It is also renewable and hence through modern technological advancement it be harnessed into a wide range of uses such as electricity generation, lighting or indoor use, water heating, machine driving and other commercial as well as industrial applications. There are many more other benefits that come along with solar energy use apart from just the application, such as the environmental friendliness, cheapness in terms of production and use, and the value it adds on a business or a home.

Current analysis by the IFC ranks the MENA region above emerging markets like China and India in market interest for sustainable investment . With the necessities for diversified economies and youth bulges providing an eager labor force, there is certainly room for growth in the region. A study by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) shows that countries seriously involved with renewable energies can expect significant job creation. In Germany, for example, the numbers were 150,057 for direct employment and 120,533 for indirect . Coupled with the increasing openness of the societies and the political reforms of some of the countries mentioned previously, it would be a beneficial time for those areas to capitalize on the

Solar power has increasingly gained demand over the years. It is due to the rising energy requirement by industries, and also population growth that energy requirements have increased as years go by. However, the demand has brought the challenge of expanding the production of solar energy. This paper focuses on how engineering concept of Lean can be used to bring efficiency in the expansion of solar power production.

Almost everywhere there is technology, and what does technology require? Energy. Such a simple answer, but where does it come from? That is a question many tend to overlook. There are many energy resources that are being harnessed in this modern age, all of which are truly interesting in their own special ways, but solar energy seems to stand out. The idea that mankind can concentrate the Sun’s light and turn it into energy for personal use is very interesting. Although solar energy does have its drawbacks, its importance and potential should not be ignored. It has huge promise as developments are being made everyday. There is a chance that solar energy could very well be the solution to the current energy crisis that faces mankind. As time has passed, even over the past decade, its presence has increased. There are also many advantages of going solar, and because of its availability it is being harnessed in many different regions all around the world. From its primitive beginnings to now it has undergone many dramatic changes, and if it continues to evolve it may just make the future a brighter place.

With the evolution of society, the necessity of alternative energy sources, that suit in what sustainable development requires is more evident throughout the years. Since the reduction of the emission of gases that cause the greenhouse effect, for example, is an important factor. The sun is the planet’s primary energy. It is responsible for practically all of the observable natural processes. Thus, nowadays, technologies that have the sun as a source have been considered, studied and utilized. The photovoltaic technologies are an example of how it is practicable to obtain energy from the sun. These TECHNOLOGIES have been developed throughout the years and it is one of the main hopes of clean and renewable energy

Why do we build passive solar homes? Most people familiar with the subject of alternative and renewable energies would reply with a variation of many answers to this question.

In recent technology advancements, worldwide nations are looking to increase the usage of renewable electricity, displacing the use of grid-provided power to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and also make contributions to the remedy of climate degradation. The rapid increase in fossil gasoline costs, solar energy is becoming an attractive alternative for powering communication structures and its utilization has more preference with regards to powering gadget in space or faraway regions wherein grid power is not available, or its availability is too expensive. As an electricity supply, solar photovoltaic systems are particularly dependable and incur minimal preservations.

The present report describes the different modules involved in the design of a maximum power point tracker with mechanical system (MPPT). The system uses four light dependent resistances (LRD) to measure the light intensity on the four sides of a solar panel then, using two steppers motor, rotates the panel in the direction of the LRD which measures the maximum light intensity. The power output from the panel is used to charge a twelves Volts battery through a DC-DC buck converter.

Abstract—In today’s fast growing world with lots of technological developments we are suffering from many problems among which energy crisis is the most significant one. With the limited amount of conventional sources of energy like coal, petroleum, natural gas available which creates a lot of pollution too, we are in a great danger of complete depletion of these resources. As an alternative solar energy has a huge potential to meet the ever growing demands of human race. Solar cells are used to convert sun’s energy into electrical energy. Solar panels are group of solar cells but solar cells in itself are not very efficient, therefore to increase their efficiency solar tracking system is used to track the direction of sun. In this paper we have described the design of an automatic solar tracker using microcontroller. We have effectively used photoresistor or light dependent resistor as the sensor of solar tracker and the stepper motor for the movement of solar panel. More energy is produced in solar tracking system because solar array is always in perpendicular direction to sun rays.
