An Update on Solar Power Generation And Consumer Installation In Europe
100 Gigawatt Milestone
The Environmentalist community has something new to that excites about Europe.
For the first time in history, Europe is using more solar power than nuclear power. This news comes after the installation of one hundred gigawatts of photovoltaic power.
The new Solar Power Generation systems are grid connects to and available to supply the public with the energy they need.
Solar Power Europe is pleased to announce this milestone achievement. Five years ago Europeans rarely relied on solar power to meet their energy demands. Today solar power generators supply one percent of the energy consumed worldwide. The growth is unprecedented. In the past eleven years, Europe has gone from only three GW of solar capabilities to over one hundred.
Future Goals
The CEO of SolarPower Europe hopes that the trend toward solar power doesn’t stop here. Although celebrating the 100 GW benchmark is fantastic, he’s … Read More
Renewable Energy On The Rise -Solar Power Generation In Europe And Across the Globe
Solar Power Generation Vs. Nuclear Power Generation
The activists at Greenpeace have been warning others for years about the cons of using nuclear energy. Not only is it very financially expensive, but it is also hazardous in several ways. Nuclear power plants always produce radioactive waste. The US is currently storing this waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.
This site is volcanically active which is just as dangerous as it sounds. From there the radiation seeps out into nature. This is why the following news is so exciting. Solar energy is so much cleaner and much safer than nuclear power. Since it uses only photons from the sun, it is entirely natural and renewable.
For the first time, nuclear energy is having to take the backseat to renewable energy in Europe. Gehrlicher Solar reported that 2014 was a record-breaking year. Researchers are predicting that by 2020 … Read More
Solar Power Generation For Your Home
Solar power is becoming increasingly popular in Europe and across the globe. Solar energy is a smart option for powering a home.
However, home installation can be a tad tricky.
Included here are some expert tips to help out anyone who wants to change to renewable energy.
1. Install A Photovoltaic System And Purchase A Battery
Here is one of the best expert tips everyone who owns solar panels should know. They will want to invest in a solar battery. Most consumers won’t use up all their created energy in one day. It’s important to store the energy they haven’t used so it can be used on demand.
Installing a solar system isn’t cheap so owners will want to get all the juice they can out of it. Between dawn and dusk is when the most solar energy is picked up by the panels. Some people will use up most of the … Read More
Solar Power Generation
Solar Power Energy has the world talking these days and for good reasons. It can save people money since it can reduce their energy bills. It’s also beneficial to the environment because the power produced is one hundred percent clean and renewable.
Even though solar energy is a hot topic in the news, most people are unaware of how exactly it works. This article begins with a discussion of solar panel systems and how they produce electricity.
Solar Panel Systems
Multiple solar cells are positioned inside the frame on a solar panel. The performance of the solar cells used will vary based on the material they are made from. Higher quality materials will certainly harvest more solar energy than cheaper ones.
The most common material used in today’s solar panels is silicon. When sunlight touches the solar panels, photons are harnessed. The solar energy collected has electrons that must be extracted, which is the next step. Then … Read More
Report Shows Solar Energy Usage Is Becoming More Popular
All the news about the scary repercussions of not using renewable energy can seem frightening. For years activists are warning citizens about global warming, so it is good to see progress is finally being made.
Solar power harvests energy from the sun and converts it into electricity. For a while, this type of energy was being used only to supply power on a small scale. Now things are changing as solar power generation provides over one percent of the electricity worldwide. Solar Power Europe recently released a report that has everyone excited over the clean energy progress.
Europe And Asia
China not only has one of the fastest growing business markets, but it is also a leader in clean energy. Solar power generation is one of the most greatly use by means of harnessing alternative energy.
Also following the renewable energy movement are Greece, Germany, and Italy.
All three of these … Read More
