I would like to know if i have a black metal can and put water in it and if i concentrate sunlight to it. say, if there is 1kw/m^2 of sunlight, then if i concentrate 1 square meter of sunlight to the black metal can. would the solar energy...
It's a thermodynamic system, and you need to apply the methods of thermodynamics to answer the question for a specific situation. Even if the surface were ideal black, the can is always emitting black body radiation, and is losing heat by...

I understand one of the major disadvantages of using solar energy to generate electricity is that the availability of the sun is NOT 24/7. Moreover, some climates only get sunshine a few days a year. As a thought, we could have huge parabolic mirrors
They're already considering using satellites, but not in that way.
They're thinking of using satellites equipped with thin film solar cells to generate electricity that is then beamed down to receivers on Earth using...
im doing a research paper about solar energy, concentrating on BC mainly.
how much does it cost to install solar energy for a family?
please include: material, installation, power supply etc..
if you can show the resources...
Prices vary! :o
Also, different families require a different amount of solar energy. So, the cost will change depending on who is using this solar energy.
As the solar panels suck the heat out of the Sun, will that pull more heat to concentrated areas of the earth? I like this to heat rays from a magnifying glass. We are concentrating where some of this energy goes. What happens when energy...
Lots of good answers here, but I wish to rake over your misconceptions. All the solar energy that strikes the earth now left the sun 8.3 minutes ago. There is nothing we can do to "suck heat" from the sun. All we do with solar panels...
What you people think. When u concentrate the Solar energy it will rise the temperature of the surrounding much more and faster giving rise to added global warming. what is your opinion about it pl feel concern and think carefully and logically...
You have brought up a good point, actually.
If you are talking about photovoltaic solar power, yes the many large batteries that are usually used to store the electricity to feed to the inverters represent a lot of pollution,...
what countries around the world use solar power to create electricity ( e.i. photovoltaic, concentrating solar power) please leave a web site. thanks!

Tiny solar cell dots printed for powerful array
A technique first developed to print flexible electronics has helped engineers at start-up Semprius reinvent the shape of concentrating solar technology.
The company's tiny solar cells, each a dot the size of a ballpoint pen tip, have been validated to convert 41 percent of solar energy to electricity, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory announced yesterday. Semprius is in the process of building a manufacturing facility in Henderson, N.C., to make concentrating solar arrays using its "micro-transfer printing" technique, according to the Department of Energy .
The semiconductor printing technique can be used for many applications, including improving LED lighting performance, better hard drives, or sensors for medical device.
First of a Kind Concentrated Solar Power Plant with Thermal ...
Bell Independent Power Corp., Rochester, New York, is a developer of Thermal Storage Technology for Concentrated Solar Power (CSP). Bell has chosen the UA Tech Park as the site of a new state of the art 5-MW solar plant with a Thermal Storage System that will be the first of its kind in the world.
The role of the facility is to commercially demonstrate Bell Independent Power Corp.’s proprietary Thermal Storage System and show its ability to improve the efficiency of a facility by 50%, which drives down the cost of producing solar power. Bell has designed this system by applying its energy expertise from the nuclear power industry and 5 years of intensive Research & Development. This proprietary Thermal Storage System will be capable of storing the sun’s heat for several hours, allowing the CSP plant to generate power at cloudy times or after the sun sets. It will also provide energy for full plant startup every morning, replacing the need for natural gas. The demonstration of Thermal Storage on this facility and its economic impact will lead to its use on large scale facilities.
