Efficient Planet Free Renewable Energy&efficiency Living
Author: Novyar
So? Have you challenged the system before? Do YOU have a solar power or wind system already installed? Are you practicing a daily routine to save yourself thousands each year and get free energy, lower the costs of all your home bills, credit card bills, etc?
Chances are that you think that installing one of these solar systems is quite expensive, and a hassle right? Converting your life to live a more efficient day,because each day takes too much work right?
It's amazing how much of a rip off this 'energy' crisis really is, so after a dedicated period of research,Edward Fowler compiled the Efficient Planet series and made them available to YOU, and everyone else so you can see first hand how easy this is and how much money you're about to save.
Ed noticed other manuals on the market so he decided to try them too - and found most to be quite difficult to follow. In some cases he found that the instructions were even setup wrong and could have been a dangerous system... . .. You will love the fact that he's made the efficient planet series a VERY easy to understand and follow set of professional DIY manuals.
Planet earth has never needed us more than it needs us right NOW! It's about time we stopped helping big corporations get rich, and time to help bring the planet back to US, the people .The Efficient Planet Solar Conversion Manual is going to take you through the process of building your own home based solar panels with ease. What's best is you'll be able to accomplish this with less than a few hundred bucks and a few afternoons.
This panel will be able to power all your appliances including your kitchen (fridge, stove, dishwasher etc), laundry room facilities, home entertainment centers and anything else that plugs into your wall! This fully illustrated manual is going to make the process as simple as it gets!
No hard to read steps and no need for special tools. Once you are fully complete, you'll start to see your electricity meter run BACKWARDS on your home! You'll even be able to fully get yourself - OFF - the - grid!
Wind power is another amazing form of free energy. Although we are on pace to using these solutions on a mass scale more and more, our society will still continue to be monetized for all its worth until people wake up from the scam and do something about it - well today, you will do something about it! And the Wind Power module of this package is going to enable you to do just that.
Sounds crazy right? Building a wind system.. . .... . But what if,you knew that you could build one for under a hundred bucks and it would end up saving you thousands over time? The manual is going to show you EXACTLY how to build your own wind system without busting a sweat or your bank.
Just like the solar panel systems, you will be able to use the wind energy solution to power just about any appliance or electronic that requires power.
Your windmill is not going to look like a grade 5 science project either - the parts are easy to get and professional in nature and design, you'll probably make your neighbors jealous.It's not impossible for a stranger to want to help another person(s) - even in the online world right?

Solar Cell – Renewable and Cleanest Energy Source:
Solar cell is a semiconductor device that converts the energy of sunlight into electric energy. These are also called ‘photovoltaic cell’. Solar cells do not use chemical reactions to produce electric power, and they have no moving parts.
Photovoltaic solar cells are thin silicon disks that convert sunlight into electricity. These disks act as energy sources for a wide variety of uses, including: calculators and other small devices; telecommunications; rooftop panels on individual houses; and for lighting, pumping, and medical refrigeration for villages in developing countries. In large arrays, which may contain many thousands of individual cells, they can function as central electric power stations analogous to nuclear, coal-, or oil-fired power plants. Arrays of solar cells are also used to power satellites; because they have no moving parts that could require service or fuels that would require replenishment, solar cells are ideal for providing power in space.
A. Most photovoltaic cells consist of a semiconductor pn junction, in which electron-hole pairs produced by absorbed radiation are separated by the internal electric field in the junction to generate a current, a voltage, or both, at the device terminals. Under open-circuit conditions (current I = 0) the terminal voltage increases with increasing light intensity, and under short-circuit conditions (voltage V = 0) the magnitude of the current increases with increasing light intensity. When the current is negative and the voltage is positive, the photovoltaic cell delivers power to the external circuit.
B. Characteristics of a Solar Cell – The usable voltage from solar cells depend on the semiconductor material. In silicon it amounts to approximately 0.5 V. Terminal voltages is only weakly dependent on light radiation, while the current intensity increases with higher luminosity. A 100 cm² silicon cell, for example, reaches a maximum current intensity of approximately 2 A when radiated by 1000 W/m². The output (product of electricity and voltage) of a solar cell is temperature dependent. Higher cell temperatures lead to lower output, and hence to lower efficiency. The level of efficiency indicates how much of the radiated quantity of light is converted into useable electrical energy.
C. Cell Types: One can distinguish three cell types according to the type of crystal: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and amorphous. To produce a monocrystalline silicon cell, absolutely pure semiconducting material is necessary. Monocrystalline rods are extracted from melted silicon and then sawed into thin plates. This production process guarantees a relatively high level of efficiency.
The production of polycrystalline cells is more cost-efficient. In this process, liquid silicon is poured into blocks that are subsequently sawed into plates. During solidification of the material, crystal structures of varying sizes are formed, at whose borders defects emerge. As a result of this crystal defect, the solar cell is less efficient.
If a silicon film is deposited on glass or another substrate material, this is a so-called amorphous or thin layer cell. The layer thickness amounts to less than 1µm (thickness of a human hair: 50-100 µm), so the production costs are lower due to the low material costs. However, the efficiency of amorphous cells is much lower than that of the other two cell types. Because of this, they are primarily used in low power equipment (watches, pocket calculators) or as facade elements.
D. Efficiency: Solar cell efficiencies vary from 6% for amorphous silicon-based solar cells to 42.8% with multiple-junction research lab cells. Solar cell energy conversion efficiencies for commercially available multicrystalline Si solar cells are around 14-16%. The highest efficiency cells have not always been the most economical — for example a 30% efficient multijunction cell based on exotic materials such as gallium arsenide or indium selenide and produced in low volume might well cost one hundred times as much as an 8% efficient amorphous silicon cell in mass production, while only delivering about four times the electrical power.
To make practical use of the solar-generated energy, the electricity is most often fed into the electricity grid using inverters (grid-connected PV systems); in stand alone systems, batteries are used to store the energy that is not needed immediately.
E. Advantages of solar energy: Solar cells are long lasting sources of energy which can be used almost anywhere. They are particularly useful where there is no national grid and also where there are no people such as remote site water pumping or in space. Solar cells provide cost effective solutions to energy problems in places where there is no mains electricity. Solar cells are also totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. Compared to other renewable sources they also possess many advantages; wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and liable to breaking down.
Rooftop power is a good way of supplying energy to a growing community. More cells can be added to homes and businesses as the community grows so that energy generation is in line with demand. Many large scale systems currently end up over generating to ensure that everyone has enough. Solar cells can also be installed in a distributed fashion, i.e. they don’t need large scale installations. Solar cells can easily be installed on roofs, which mean no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy.
F. Disadvantages of solar cells: The main disadvantage of solar energy is the initial cost. Most types of solar cell require large areas of land to achieve average efficiency. Air pollution and weather can also have a large effect on the efficiency of the cells. The silicon used is also very expensive and the problem of nocturnal down times means solar cells can only ever generate during the daytime. Solar energy is currently thought to cost about twice as much as traditional sources (coal, oil etc). Obviously, as fossil fuel reserves become depleted, their cost will rise until a point is reached where solar cells become an economically viable source of energy. When this occurs, massive investment will be able to further increase their efficiency and lower their cost.

WHO do you trust more to stabilize energy prices?
A) The neoconservatives/PNAC and their approach of securing good relations and control with oil producing countries
B) Energy efficiency and renewable energy specialists who decrease the use of fossil fuels
Add: until recently, the market was not working properly as oil companies received more federal money than renewable energy companies, creating a distortion against clean and long term solutions.
The market only: we see how market isn´t working as marketing decisions are taken on a 3-5 years scope. This is reason why the US has plenty of cars not suited to the new oil price levels.
renewable energy?
ok, so I’m preparing a speech on renewable energy. Primarily solar energy. . . . can anyone give me some facts and figures to incorporate, perhaps some angles I havn’t thought of yet? I plan on appealing to the emotional side of saving the environment and the logical side of saving money on your monthly energy bill (it’s to be a persuasive speech) . . . so perhaps the efficiency rating of solar panels, or that average energy produced by wind? or even better if someone has some figures on the california rebates given for solar panel installation. Thanks for the assistance
Renewable Energy survey for desigining a low carbon-footprint house.?
This is a basic letter I designed to send to blogs, etc. Decided to try here too. !
Hello,
I’m designing an energy efficient house suitable for different environments for my DT IGCSE coursework and am researching the possible reductions in energy use would be made using renewable energy sources such as: solar, geothermal, wind, etc. as well as techniques such as insulating, etc., these improvements to be made on the common household in the UK. Therefore I would like to ask:
How do different geographical locations affect the efficiency of renewable energy sources or allow for their feasibility?
(Following questions to be answered for different locations if possible; climates, location, etc.)
1) What is the overall energy consumption of the average house?
2) How is this broken down into different fuels?
3) What are these fuels used for?
4) How much does it cost to be supplied with this energy?
5) How much energy could be saved installing green energy sources and insulation?
6) How is this broken down into different techniques?
7) How much money could be saved?
9) Is it really that efficient?
10) What group of people is most likely to pay for such efficiency- large or small?
If there is any more information which might aid me in designing my product please could you add here:
