 5 benefits of solar energy to the environment

  1. Reduces Air Pollution. Fossil fuels create a lot of pollutants.
  2. Reduce Water Usage. If your energy source doesn't use fossil fuels to power itself, it probably uses some sort of water as its resource.
  3. Reduces Dependence On Nonrenewable Energy Sources.
  4. Improves Humanity's Health In The Long-run.
  5. Helps Fight Climate Change. [1]

Why is solar energy good? 

Solar Energy Is Good for the Environment. The most commonly known benefits  about solar power is that it produce a clean, green power.

Solar energy systems is an alternative way to generate and supply electricity or hot water that is clean, natural and renewable  for home owners and business owners alike.

Solar energy  is generated through photovoltaic  or (PV) panels which are  sets of treated silicon cells that are aligned in a string so that electric power is produced when exposed to sunlight.

It is possible for a home to be powered 100% through solar energy,  it is common for homeowners to use solar panel  systems  to reduce energy costs most probably  because of the cost of the installation, as securing enough solar  panels to supply an entire house with electricity would be rather high for the average home owner.

Solar  power  is definitely a viable option to supplement your current source of energy ! if cost of the  solar panels panels is an issue.

One thing to remember  is that some government programs may be available to help with the cost of buying the solar power    equipment and installation.

So whats are the benefits of solar power ?

Savings

Solar energy makes a difference in your wallet . This is  especially true in the warmer and colder seasons when you may normally use air conditioning or heating systems.

You should seee a huge decrease in your monthly electricity bill all year round, but particularly during the summer and winter months.

In the long-term, the monthly energy savings are rather significant and typically cover the cost of installation in as little as 5  years.

With the rising cost of energy you can save a great deal over the lifetime of your solar power system.

Less Pollution

Another advantage to solar powered electricity is the lack of pollution given off as compared to conventional power sources. Solar electricity is a natural, clean energy source and 100% green.

Low Maintenance

Installing the solar panel  system is the most you will ever have to do to as far as  maintenance is concerned.

Once installed, the solar panels do not require maintenance at all.

This was intentional in their design. Satellites in space use solar systems to provide energy to the satellites, and maintenance and repair is really not feasible under those circumstances.

The same low maintenance advantage remains for the solar energy  systems use in homes and businesses.

Dependability

one thing to consider when buying a solar Panel  system  is to include a battery storage system.

The advantage here is that you can have ongoing electricity and power even during grid outages.

When properly installed, solar panel electricity systems are extremely reliable with the lifespan reported to be 25 years plus, the standard warranty given with most  solar power  systems  is 20 years.

  Types of metal welding Today, various types of metal joining are used, the main differences and characteristics are divided into technical, physical, and technological varieties. The technological process of joining involves the interaction of materials at the interatomic level through the influence of temperatures. Fixed fasteners are used for a variety of materials, the main ones are metal parts, glass, plastic and ceramics are also welded. The process takes place in the main ways manual, semi-automatic or automatic, depending on the characteristics of the mechanisms.  Types of welding Content The concept of the welding process Physical signs of welding Manufacturability is the main property of welding works The importance of technological properties Classification of welding methods Thermal welding class Arc welding Gas welding Beam welding Thermite welding Electroslag welding Thermomechanical welding class Forging welding Contact welding Diff

What is Solar Hot Water (SHW) technology?

Image
What is a solar water heating system? Simply put, a solar water heating system collects the thermal energy of the sun and uses it to heat water for use by a home or business, rather than using electricity or natural gas. [ 1 ] Active solar Heating technology means using radiation for heating hot water. In this way, the abundant free energy from the sun can be harnessed to meet a large part of the domestic hot water demand, and reduce the consumption of conventional fuels. The use of these fuels is now widely recognized as causing climate change, and pollution. The UK receives a vast amount of solar energy which on average equals 60-65% of the annual amount received on the equator. The available range of high quality products enables householders to make effective use of the sun. Thus, even in spring and autumn, and on clear, but cold winter days, the solar hot water system can prove useful. The principle system omponents are solar collectors, a pre-heat cylinder (optional) pump, cont

How to choose a spray gun for cars, homes, and furniture?

Image
We tell you which spray gun to choose for painting a car, garage door, house facade, household appliances, and furniture. Why do I need a spray gun? The device applies paint and varnish coatings. You can spray water to moisten concrete and peel off wallpaper, treat plants with fertilizers and pesticides. A separate category — confectionery devices-apply food dyes, creams, and glazes to desserts. Most often, the question arises, how to choose a spray gun for painting walls and ceilings , car, fence and other large surfaces — the mechanized method of painting has more advantages: the performance is 5-25 times higher. 2-3 days of work can be done in an hour and a half; smooth surface without bubbles, lint and streaks-it is important when working with the car and home decor; the paint penetrates more easily into hard-to-reach places — on the back of the radiators, in the joints of the washing machine body or in the hidden cavities of the car; learning to paint is easier — you can master th
