I really like this product and would like to see if it is ready for production.

It's advancing more rapidly. Now Bush has come out of the woodwork and given more companies incentive to go solar (now that his popularity level is at an all-time low.) I know that Germany produces more solar power than any other country in the world

One of the major complaints about ethanol is that there's little, if any, net gain in energy. Is the state of the science sufficiently advanced to allow solar power to be the primary energy supply?

I would like to say yes but at this point I would have to say no. I worked at an ethanol pilot plant and anyone in the industry can tell you to break down starch in the corn you need what they call a jet cooker. This uses high pressure steam at...

How much money does it need to build SOLAR PANEL (solar energy system)?
I read this article on good things about solar energy.
and it said 'Solar panel construction has advanced significantly in the last 20 years and can withstand...

It depends.
A small one is $10 and one to keep a big house supplied with power can be more than $50000

A small one to charge your cell phone is $10

One to keep a large house supplied with power, including all the associated equipment can be more than $50000

So the answer is "it depends"

I'm doing a science report on solar energy, but I'm having a hard time finding information on more recent advances and developments in the area of harnessing solar power or putting it to use.
Also, how do solar chargers for cell phones, etc,...

one simple device i've seen is a solar collector designed to heat water for residences. one variety consists of a piping or tubing laid out in a spiral shape or a rectangular panel, facing south to harness the sun's rays to heat the water. it's the

If I mount a flat surface which points to certain constant direction. At certain place of the world. I now need to estimate the maximum amount of Solar radiation energy which this surface can get during certain time.
Is there a PC program...

That's the National Renewable Energy Labs site, and will give you insolation (amount of sun) for your area. If you have an ideal location and roof, you would
