Green Building Block

Did you know that the earth receives enough energy from the sun in one hour to supply the global energy needs for the entire year? This is true, however, only a very small portion of it is harnessed. And yet the world still depends on the energy produced by fuel burning fossils. On a positive note, however, there is a steady increase in demand for solar power, and during the years of continuous development, the solar panels are now much cheaper.

Did you know that during peak hours, the maximum power density that the sun can give is about 1 kW / m square and that much can produce enough electricity to power 50,000 homes?

Did you If that solar power plant was built 1% of the total land area of the Sahara desert, they would satisfy the requirement of energy the planet?

Did you know that the efficiency of solar panels depends on several factors such as pollution, clouds, temperature and humidity?

Did you know that plants solar energy are very similar to other classical electricity – with one important difference: most plants get their energy from fossil fuels oil, coal and gas?

Did you know that when electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels that produce emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming? Â

Did you know that when you build solar thermal or solar, using the power of sunlight to generate electricity? Â

Did you know that solar panels are all technically kind of panel using solar thermal energy to produce electricity, heat water, such as solar panels for hot water, some are used to store solar energy such as solar panels to heat?

And the whole process solar energy does not burn any fossil fuel and therefore do not contribute to global warming.Â
