Solar energy is a renewable energy source that needs to be in every community. It has the capability to face the many challenges that the world faces. With the power source increasing every year in popularity, more people are coming to realize its versatile and the benefits solar energy has to people and the environment. In order for people to reap the benefits of solar energy, they should know how much to expect to pay for this technology to be […]
Energy has been in use by people for everything from walking to sending astronauts into space. The growth of technology over the years has done some amazing things for mankind and the technology is only evolving as the years go by. One of the most innovative but the most under used technology of all the great evolution is solar power technology. There are two types of energy: Stored (potential) energy Working (kinetic) energy For example, the food a person […]

Get help with your assigmentSolar energy is one of the most widely known forms of energy. This power is energy produced from the sun that then is converted into thermal or electrical energy. Solar energy is the most abundant renewable energy source. This means that this energy is rapidly replaced by the power made from the sun. Solar energy can be used as a heat source or an energy source. Solar energy is used as a heat source in two ways: Passive heating and […]
The energy system is a combination of all interconnected energy resources, methods of producing electricity and thermal energy. Transforming, distributing and using it, is also providing consumers with energy. A certain amount of electricity is required, and it must be available at that moment, otherwise an overvoltage will occur, and the network will fail. The main problem of our century is that we produce more than we can consume. Each technology that is available for people to use has its […]
Our daily energy needs are increasing every day at exponential rates, with an increase from 51,000TWh to 150,000TWh in the span of half a century. If this current trend continues with 80-85% of our total energy needs being derived from non-renewable resources such as coal and crude oil and with these said to run out in 110 years (coal) and 54 years (natural gas), we desperately need to look for new renewable sources of energy and save what we have […]
When we think of solar power we think of an energy source that is free and sustainable, but aside from the obvious drawbacks, such as price and the inability to harness solar energy at night, there are some significant issues that may need to be addressed. Solar energy has made significant strides, yet when we think of solar power, cost usually plays a major role. Currently 49 percent of all the electrical power in the United States is generated by […]
For a long time, solar power has often been viewed as only affordable to the wealthy in most countries despite the fact that the source of solar energy is free; from sunlight. Most states have aimed to make the solar power equipment more affordable and accessible to help reduce the costs of living among the citizens. In America, the current average cost of a solar-electric system is half as compared to the expense in 2010. The use of solar panels […]
For centuries humans have used the sun as a source of energy. When people talk about solar energy, it reminds me of my childhood growing up in a small remote village. We had no access to electricity. Most of our energy source was paraffin, wood, and charcoal. However; the sun was very resourceful, water was poured in metal containers and set them in the open field to absorb radiation from the sun. We used the hot water for laundry and […]
Abstract Solar energy in its raw form may be pollution-free, but manufacturing the devices that get the energy out of light and heat requires metal and other material, requiring mines and smelters, therein causing pollution. Maybe the most exciting thing about solar energy today is not only that the costs continue to drop and efficiencies continue to rise, but that clean solar energy is arriving at last. New technologies allow new methods of manufacturing which pollute much less and often […]
Floating solar farms are large solar arrays which float on water bodies, usually man-made reservoirs or rivers. This technology is traditional solar photovoltaic panels on water bodies which are supported by buoyant structures. They are located in medium-sized water bodies, such as rivers and hydropower reservoirs because they cannot withstand the water pressures in oceans. They are a new innovation which was introduced due to land scarcity for solar farms which limited energy production. Later in this report, the potential […]
Investment is a field where by people that excess of money to invest or term which is generally used by those who have surplus amount of money that has been left after fulfilling all of daily needs. However this is a very general definition but from business point of view, investment is something that will give us more output in the future if we spent some money at present. Basically, there are two types of investments which are long term […]
Executive Summary BP is an energy company that focuses primarily on petroleum, with a minor interest in alternative energy. However, due to recent accidents in the petroleum sector, the BP name has been blemished. With the finite supply of crude oil, it is also becoming necessary for an oil company to consider other investments. Because it has been successful in improving BP’s reputation before, it may be strategic to reposition BP and place greater emphasis on alternative energy development. Although […]
China’s energy production intensely depends on coal and while there are a lot of pros that come with coal, there are also a lot of cons that are so significant that it has to be changed. In China because they have a big coal supply, nearly 80% of its power generation originate from coal (ChinaFAQs). This has a lot different factors. This essay is analyzing different factors of why Solar Energy is the best source of energy production in China. […]
Introduction Nuclear energy is energy used in making of military weapons and generation of electricity. This form of energy is generated from either nuclear fission or fusion. Today, the United States is one of the industrialized countries with a highly developed nuclear energy sector. Initially, the country used nuclear energy to make military weapons. However, today, a significant proportion of electricity used in the country is generated from nuclear energy. Nevertheless, the kind of energy has its benefits and its […]
Introduction A famous scientist, Bill Nye, made a glaring statement: ”Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us” Climate change or global warming is a serious and undeniable issue that is plaguing the planet. Global warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere usually connected to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants. Ten of […]
Everyone has heard the infamous words “global warming”, but not many understand the disaster that’s happening. Terms are thrown out such as carbon emissions and greenhouse gases the list goes on, and those not scientifically savvy tend to brush off what may become the downfall of humanity. According to Nasa’s official website, “The planet’s average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions […]
The 20th century was without doubt the age of fossil fuels—oil, in particular. Fossils had been excavated almost throughout the entire history of humanity, but it is the 20th century which brought the scales of the excavation to the limit. Gasoline for vehicles, aircraft, and vessels, fuel for space flights and war machines, heating systems—all this and much more works on fossil fuel, even in 2017. However, since the first studies proving that the utilization of fossil fuels makes a […]

Green building was developed in the 1970s, during the energy crisis, when people finally realised that they needed to save energy and alleviate environmental problems. The idea originated on the United States, as they were one of the largest contributors of pollution in the world. Due to the fact that Buildings account for a large amount of land, energy and water consumption, and also contribute hugely to air pollution, green building aims to reduce the environmental impact buildings have on […]
