Advanced Solar Power

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...

Pls. answer quickly!! i need it for my social project which is due next week. I want how the power from a solar power STATION reach homes. It should not be how power reaches from the solar panels on top of roofs to the house! Thank You In...

Electricity from a solar power plant is transfered in the same way as other power production methods. The power enters the grid at a "sub station" and runs through a transformer to bring it to the right transmission voltage. The power...

Hi there,
I'm trying to get a very basic understanding of solar power.

Can you tell me:
How many watts is required to run a laptop off power
And how many, roughly, to charge the laptop battery
how many...

sounds like you need to use ohms law wats =amps x volts or volts = amps X resistance if you are still having trouble you can always call the manufacture and ask

I am writing on behalf of one of our students, who is really motivated to demonstrate how solar power changes sun energy to electricity to his fellow third graders. He only has a short time for this project so any practical leads help or ideas would

I think that this may be a little bit complicated for an eight year old. A little extra background may be required, since I don't deal with kids I have no idea if they've even heard of an electron. But I'll give it a shot here.

I have to write a report and have only found Solar Photovoltaics. Please can you name some more iI could research? Thanks in advance!

well since you've got something hi-tech already make an introduction about the potential of solar power and the most common is the magnifying glass, you know making a fire from it.

Hi,

I have some questions about solar power, it's for a school project. Thanks for all your help in advance.

What is solar power?

How does it work? (Please be as specific as possible and list...

Solar power refers to the utilisation of the sunlight for meeting our energy needs, which are otherwise met by electricity or coal, oil, gas etc.

There are several ways for utilising solar power:

- photovoltaic...
