Solar Panel Tower

I need some help on my solar energy project. I am doing a slide on solar towers. This is what I have so far:

'Solar towers are greenhouses with large towers in the centre. The greenhouses capture the photons from the sun, and like...

a Solar tower is a large tower which receives all of the reflected sunlight from many mirrors on the ground beneath it, water flows through the tower in many pipes. As the water is heated, it generates steam which flows through turbines to generate

This is the future project in Australia. It will be ready in 2012.

Before I start I must tell you I did not mean for it to rhyme.

A 100ft by 100ft by 100 story building.

all the floors and ceilings are covered by solar panels.
hanging from the ceilings are high light output...

I think you invented a new perpetual motion machine, that won't work, like all the others.

If i interpret this correctly, you want to use light bulbs to generate light that falls on solar panels to generate electricity.

I have seen 2 types of solar power set-ups,one is the solar panel and the other is the solar tower with reflective mirrors.Is one better than the other when ALL aspects are taken into consideration? I'm talking of things like amount of realestate...

The choice of a flat-panel photovoltaic array or a concentrating collector (parabolic mirror type) depends mostly on your location. In a place where there is very little cloud cover, the concentrating type is more efficient. On the other hand, even

Some cell phone towers alongside I-78 in NJ now have "windmills" on top. The diameter of the turbine is around 6 feet. They look much like the farm windmill generators in the 30-ties. With many blades. Not just the three as on modern...

1. If they're 6 foot in size they must be for electricity.
2.So they can be used in low wind.
3.Wind is cheaper and makes more power. Solar has good pr from people who know really nothing about it.

Size of th battery...

I was sitting in APes today and we just began studying alternative fuel sources. We were going through some of the pros and cons of each and when we came to wind power the only real drawback was that it takes alot of land. I wass wondering if they...

One could do that. But solar power, in the form in which it is at least close to economical, does not require a lot of land. You can get enough sun power to run a house just by cells on part of the roof. But the economics suck, unless you can...

I'd love to buy this 77 acres that has been used for hunting for the past 20 years. Before that, I believe there were survivalists there as there is a concrete bunker with rifle holes, a tower that had solar panels, etc. Is that enough land to...

That really isn't enough acreage to be useful as a hunting club. You might be able to go into a partnership with a couple of other guys, though, and you should probably consult an attorney to structure the deal in a way that will limit your liability
