Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport – Electric department

Solar Cells

Since 1926, the BEST has been sourcing its power from Tata Power, part of the Tata Group conglomerate. The power cables are laid underground, which reduces pilferage and other losses that plague most other parts of India. The nominal rating of power supplied by BEST is 3-phase, 50& Hz, 220/110& kV. Unlike the transport company, [...]

Windsor, Victoria – Landmarks

Solar Cells

The suburb has many landmarks including the historic ”Presentation Convent” (now a secondary school), the Stonnington Primary School, old post office, Telstra exchange tower and a campus of Swinburne University. In recent times, the large ”Empire Cinemas”, converted into a nightclub were gutted by fire before eventually being demolished and replaced by high-rise apartments, also [...]

Solar Challenger – Introduction

Solar Cells

Solar Challenger was a solar-powered electric aircraft designed by Paul MacCready’s AeroVironment. The aircraft was designed as an improvement on the Gossamer Penguin, which in turn was a solar-powered variant of the human-powered Gossamer Albatross. It was powered entirely by the photovoltaic cells on its wing and stabilizer, without even reserve batteries, and was the [...]

Solar mirror – Photovoltaic augmentation

Cost Of Solar Power

Photovoltaic cells (PV) which can convert solar radiation directly into electricity are quite expensive per unit area. Some types of PV cell, e.g. gallium arsenide, if cooled, are capable of converting efficiently up to 250 times as much radiation as is normally provided by simple exposure to direct sunlight. In tests done by Sewang Yoon [...]

Las Vegas Springs Preserve – Green building efforts

Solar Cells

The Preserve shows people how to live in the desert environment and how to take advantage of what is available. Part of this project showcases a dual use concept. For example, the parking area is actually the roof of the reservoir and the shade structures in various areas are photovoltaic cells used to generate power [...]

Bituminous waterproofing – Benefits

Benefits Of Solar Energy

Bituminous roofing products are used for waterproofing roofs on buildings. #Benefits include that they move with the structure and do not absorb water. Bitumen is a hydrocarbon and is created naturally from crude oil. #The products have an extremely long life span, with most membranes having BS (British Standards) marks against each product name. #The [...]

Net energy gain – Sources of energy

The definition of an energy source is not rigorous. Anything that can provide energy to anything else can qualify. Wood in a stove is full of potential thermal energy; in a car, mechanical energy is acquired from the combustion of gasoline, and the combustion of coal is converted from thermal to mechanical, and then to [...]
