Alternative Solar Power

i need this before tomorrow for my final exam so pleasee help me!
why is it consider an alternative source of energy?

Because when you you use solar power --which is a renewable energy-- you don't release carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere unlike traditional petroleum or coal based electricity which harms the earth. Therefore it is the more...

Ever thought about installing solar power for your home? Here's a my personal statement on some good reasons to champion solar - economic ...

Is it possible, or has there been a study done, on running a car off of alternative energy sources, besides solar and biofuels, such as Geothermal Energy; Tidal Energy; and Wind Energy?
Thanks.
That's logical. Just had to check.

Solar is not practical. Geothermal is not possible for a car. Wind is not practical either. Tidal energy is not possible. Any internal combustion engine will run on propane / methane / natural gas (they are all basically the same thing) with very...

I saw on a video that I need a 4V 25mA solar panel.
It is suppose to build a solar powered remote. However, I cant find a 4V 25mA solar panel. Are there any other options?
It needs to be fairly small to stick on the back of a remote...

Sounds like a fun project.

When doing a low-current charger as I suspect you are, there is no need to have an exact voltage of...

I'd like a source like a .org, CNN, reliable news source, ect. please!

I disagree with Bonzi to say the least. Sen Obama's plan to tax oil companies will only increase our dependence of imported oil. This action will i no way benefit the consumer. Just the government, the suppliers will simply raise prices to cover...

I am giving a presentation on alternative energy and need to find a good source of statistics, graphs, charts, diagrams etc to use. specifically, i will be referring to hydroelectric, wind and solar power.

thanks for your help in...

A graph of how much revenue oil barons and the refining process would lose in relation the % of renewable energy as a total of energy production would be the most pertinent in modern society.

Yes we think that you huge businesses...

could somebody please give me a good explanaton of the process illustrated...I need it for a presentation but I don't really understand the whole charge controller/inverter/battery...

Well your link is broken, but if you are talking about charge controllers and inverters then you probably want an explanation of how solar works.

Basically the solar photovoltaic panels create electricity (ie: electrons moving due...
