Since 2008, hundreds of thousands of solar panels have popped up across the country as an increasing number of Americans choose to power their daily lives with the sun''s energy. Thanks in part to Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) investments, the cost of going solar goes down every year.
READ MOREThe cost of fuel alone takes up 20 percent of the school''s annual budget. "Just to run a generator from 5.30 in the morning to 10 o''clock at night, annually it costs us $400,000 to just run diesel fuel generator," Project Manager, Fox Qwaina said. With 70 houses, on campus, this project will assist Selwyn College in its electricity needs.

READ MORESolar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries or thermal storage. Below, you can find resources and information on the basics of solar radiation, photovoltaic and
READ MORESolar energy is any type of energy generated by the sun. Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun. Fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms violently collide in the sun''s core and fuse to create a helium atom. This process, known as a PP (proton-proton) chain reaction, emits an enormous amount of
READ MOREMost estimates of life-cycle emissions for photovoltaic systems are between 0.07 and 0.18 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilowatt-hour. Most estimates for concentrating solar power range from 0.08 to 0.2 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilowatt-hour. In both cases, this is far less than the lifecycle emission rates for natural
READ MOREBelow are the top ten benefits of solar power for your home. 1. Converting to Solar Energy can drastically reduce and sometimes even eliminate your electric bills for your home. Whether you''re a business owner or homeowner, electric bills can make up a large fraction of your monthly expenses. When switching to solar energy, you will be
