Thin film photovoltaics
Posted by Solar energy guru | Filed under Solar panels & photovoltaic cells
One of the main problems that has been discovered as the use of solar cells has soared is that the basic solar cell requires a high mass of energy-producing material in order to function correctly. Because this high amount of material is needed, solar cells and photovoltaic panels can be too expensive for the average [...]
Concentrator solar panels
Posted by Solar energy guru | Filed under Solar panels & photovoltaic cells
The need for developing solar panels arose from the fact that the atmosphere is getting polluted at an alarming rate everyday which is endangering the future of this planet. Thus solar panels were designed which were humungous and cumbersome to install at exorbitant rates.
Eventually with constant experimentation more affordable and manageable solar panels were designed [...]
Set up solar panels for homes
Posted by Solar energy guru | Filed under Solar power systems
When you set up solar panels for homes, there are a number of factors to take into consideration. Set up is easier when starting from scratch as you can optimize many things that can influence the size and cost of the solar array. Since you can build in passive solar heating and daylighting techniques when [...]
Solar energy storage
Posted by Solar energy guru | Filed under Solar energy facts
Solar energy is the best alternative in lieu of the existing system of electricity discharge. Solar panels made with materials for absorbing the energy of the sun are used to help convert the light into electricity. Along with the generation of solar energy the storage is equally necessary for later use. For the solar power [...]

Over the years harnessing the sun’s energy for the purpose of restoring the natural resources to maintain the ecological balance has come a long way from just heating water to many other applications. Now the use of solar energy has spread into our homes for cooking purposes and entertainment too. There is yet constant efforts [...]
Solar radiant heating system
Posted by Solar energy guru | Filed under Solar thermal solutions
There are various heating systems used primarily for the purpose of heating homes. Places with freezing temperatures and cold climates require an efficient heating system to keep the homes warm and conducive for living. Among the various options available the first one is the traditional gas and oil furnace where the air is heated and [...]
