Solar Power - Solar Roof Tiles - Solar Power Without the Solar Look




www.SolarEnergyGuide.net - Solar Roof Tiles - Solar Power Without the Solar Look If you're like a lot of people these days who are considering the installation of solar power in their homes, you may not know the difference between solar roof tiles and a solar panels. And the distinction is important because the one thing that prevents many folks from enjoying the benefits of solar power is that they are afraid of ruining the appearance of their home. So what is the difference between a home equipped with solar panels vs. one with solar roof tiles? It is not hard to notice. Solar panels are those large, cumbersome units that often are perched atop the roof of a house, making it look to some people like something out of a science fiction movie. To install the panels properly, it is often necessary for additional roof framing or roof penetration. And if yours is the first house on the block to install solar panels, you might have to endure lots of funny looks and derogatory comments from the neighbors. On the other hand, solar roof tiles are much less obtrusive than solar panels. As the name implies, solar roof tiles are incorporated into your existing roof, whether it consists of asphalt shingles or most other common types. One shingle weighs about 2.5 pounds per square foot, so they are generally easy to work with when it comes to installation. They tend to be a dark bluish-gray in color, so they blend in easily with most existing roof types. And the best thing is that <b>...</b>

Most people are under the impression that global warming will not affect them. But here's the truth that concerns us all, We each need to do our part in preserving the environment. Today, some may feel that this will not effect us in our lifetimes, but our enrgy reserves are slowly dwindiling away. So is the quality of our food, the plant life, and the poor air quality having an impact on our health. While it may not effect us right now, it will have a lasting impact on the people we love dearest. Our Families and our children and even our childrens children. So what can we do to help do our part in saving the environment? Solar Panels! Using solar panels can prove to be one of the best methods to help solve this problem. and they offer many advantages. They operate by one of our best natural resources, The Sun! In most cases the solar panel system can be easily installed by one person. The units are not only very affordable, but they are very effective as well. And since sunlight is still free, using a solar power greatly decreases your energy bill. For more information on getting your very own solar panel system simply go to energy-solarpanels.com There you will find information on: where to get installation instructions* Solar panels disigned for your home* *Expert advise and solar panel tips along with some testimonials of some of <b>...</b>

renewable energy - Powering the Future with Sustainable Energy




August 21, 2008 presentation by Stacey Bent for the Stanford University Office of Science Outreach's Summer Science Lecture Series. Meeting the world's growing energy needs in a sustainable fashion is one of the most pressing problems of our time. Professor Bent introduces the scope of the energy problem and some of the options for sustainable energy, then will focus on two main devices: solar cells and fuel cells. Solar cells convert the energy of the sun directly into electricity, while fuel cells convert chemical energy directly into electricity. Current research at Stanford is studying the use of new materials to develop the next generation of solar cells and fuel cells. The Stanford Summer Science Lecture Series is a set of informal lectures about cutting edge research from four of Stanford's most esteemed professors.
