This project is to identify the feasibility of residential solar power applications for the end-user, and any pros/cons and cost analysis of any such undertaking. We will compile existing data to identify how much grid electricity the average US household uses, how much they pay per kilowatthour (kWh), and compare it to the cost of installing solar power system. Taking into consideration environmental effects, government incentives, and pure electricity cost savings over time, we will demonstrate

seeks. I am not talking about power as strength, but power as energy. Currently, the world is running off many forms of power; however, the world seems to limit itself to three of the main forms: coal, oil, and natural gas (Jurich, 2015, pg. 32). Ever since the creation of mankind, the world has pushed to becoming more technologically advanced. This drive for success has caused for multiple increases in energy strategies including hydro, solar, geothermal, wind and multiple others (Kaya, Aksoy, Kose,

MOVABLE SOLAR POWER PLANT CUM SOLAR PUMP FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to the solar power plant. More, particularly, this invention relates to a movable solar power plant cum solar pump wherein the solar panels can be carried to one place to another and can produce simultaneously solar electricity for solar pump as well as electricity for various electrical equipment/apparatus. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As fossil fuels put the planet in peril, hopes for future prosperity in the developing

previous successful government involvement in the renewable energy industry through regulation and initiatives may elude the everyday modern Australian, marred with controversial schemes, which in hind sight were rolled out to fast without sufficient regulations has seen relatively recent schemes reduced or even thrown out. However, it is best to remind ourselves that some of Australia’s rite of passage as a nation were through Renewable energy projects. Examples of this such as the Snowy Hydro Scheme

Solar power has been around for many years. The very first silicon based photovoltaic was invented by Bell Labs back in 1954. At this time the cost per watt was high at $285 and in 2009 it dropped to a mere $3.00 per watt (Solar Tech USA, 2014). Solar energy dates back as far as the 2nd century with the Greeks and Romans starting fires through broken glass. Indirect benefits from solar have been used way back to even photosynthesis (Bengtson, 2012). Passive solar energy was used to heat building

have driven the world towards the use of renewable energy sources. The issue at hand was to determine which salt, between CloKMag, FLiBe, and FLiNaK, would be the best option to be used in conjunction with a concentrated solar plant in order to supply power to all 100,000 of Salt Bay’s residents for the least cost. Since solar energy has been criticized for only being able to produce daytime power, the addition of salt storage has allowed energy generation throughout the day. This power has to be

sources of energy but we must also consider all the disadvantages. One disadvantage of the renewable energy is that it’s difficult to generate the same amount of electricity that are as large as those produced by traditional sources of energy, such as fossil fuel and coal powder plants generators. This may means that either we need to reduce the amount of energy we use or we need to set up more such facilities to balance with the world’s growing demand. An other disadvantage of renewable energy is the
