Solar concentrators use an array of mirrors, segments of a parabola set in a plane. How to adjust it precise?

Sorry for the engrish in the question, I'm just not smart enough to condense too far.

A parabolic mirror concentrates rays to a focus. A solar concentrator is usually an array of small, flat mirrors set into angles approximating...


There are two angles to adjust. The angle from vertical at solar noon depends on your latitude and the time of year, and varies slowly over the course of the year. In the northern hemisphere, along the Tropic of Cancer, it's zero at the summer...

Is Earth a closed system? How does one add/remove excess thermal energy?

With our current reliance on fossile fuels and other forms of stored energy (coal, chemical) we are releasing excess waste heat (among other things) into the atmosphere. Looking for alternative 'green' energy sources is a great ideal, but my feel...


ha ha i thought about that, 'why not build giant solar panels in space to block off the sun, since our polar ice cap just isn't cutting it anymore'. we dont have the technology simply put.

theres probably a huge matter of safety in...


Bonding Alternatives for Solar Panels

Harnessing the sun's energy to produce electricity is once again garnering interest from eager consumers looking for a cheaper, environmentally-friendly power source. During the last energy crisis of the 1970s, solar power gained attention as an alternative to more costly fossil fuels, but the high cost of producing solar energy at that time made it impractical for most consumers, especially for large installations.

However, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), due to current concerns about rising costs, energy security and supplies, coupled with new state and federal incentives, the solar energy industry has seen tremendous growth since 2005. The U.S. now ranks fourth in the world for cumulative installed solar capacity, after Germany, Spain and Japan. Solar energy is the cleanest, most abundant, renewable energy source available and making solar systems more cost-effective will expand consumer availability.

Solar Tower – EnviroMission reduces green house CO2 emission ...

EnviroMission, Ltd. (www.enviromission.com.au; US Stock Market: EVOMY, Australian Stock Exchange: EVM) is a renewable energy developer of sustainable “green” energy solutions for the energy market. EnviroMission aims to be one of Australia’s leading producers of clean renewable energy. EnviroMission holds the proprietary rights to Solar Tower technology, a large-scale renewable energy technology based on simple fundamentals of physics — hot air rises. Solar Tower technology has the potential to offer competitive renewable energy with equal reliability to fossil fuel generators. A single 200MW Solar Tower power station will provide enough electricity to power around 400000 households. The energy output will represent an annual saving of more than 1960000 tonnes of greenhouse CO2 gases from entering the environment when compared to brown coal emissions in Victoria. The greenhouse savings equate to the removal of approximately 500000 cars from the road. The Australian Solar Tower project consists of six distinct phases, the first two of which (project optimization and pre-feasibility commercialization) have already been completed. The third phase (final feasibility), paving the way for the implementation of the next three phases (final design, construction, and commercial operation).

Soaking Up the Sun to Squeeze Bills to Zero

New York Times - Feb 14, 2011

Soaking Up the Sun to Squeeze Bills to Zero There is no giant, expensive solar array that could mask a multitude of traditional design sins, but rather a rethinking of everything, down to the smallest elements, all aligned in a watt-by-watt march toward a new kind of building.
