Solar Power : Necessary Precautions Required To Protect Solar Panels

Filed under: Technology and Gadgets — admin @ 10:23 pm

Now technology has improved and you can convert sun energy into electrical energy by using build solar panels at home. You might have heard about photo-voltaic cells, which gather sun energy and convert it to electrical energy. If you closely try to understand its technology, you will feel it is a very big great deal to built such complex things, in fact it is not so. All solar panel are having many photo voltaic cells integrated depends up on the size of the panel. The wiring method which binds these entire components together is called field element. Metal, fiberglass or plastic are used to cover the photo voltaic cells in solar panels.

Before making solar panel to work effectively, you have to ascertain some important settings. The first and foremost important setting is linking all cells existing in the solar panels to each other for their complete electrical connectivity. Another important setting is guarding these solar panels from environmental climatic conditions. Solar cells are extremely sensitive to wind and rain. Thus, it is essential to shield these solar panels from severe wind, rain, snow. Also, sometimes, even hail also can cause damage to the solar panels if you could not coat these with material that can prevent damage. If unprotected, then leads to serious damage to water based silicon cells which break very easily. Hence, selection of material for building solar panels is the critical parameter to be considered before proceeding to build solar panels at home.

To avoid humidity, coating solar panels with insulator wrapper can prolong the functioning and life of solar panel. Also, if you are protecting your panels from the metal rust, it will add some more life to it. If thin film cells are used as in the case of modules, it will easily crack, so that you need to consider the kind of component structure. It is mandatory requirement that you should not allow solar panels cells getting heated up excessively. Incorporation of diodes into the composition of the solar panel will help to stabilize its hot temperature automatically. You must keen on ventilation of the building where you have erected solar panels. If ventilation is poor, make sure you add special ventilation system in the building.

Lenses and mirrors are used in the solar panels to converge light energy on to its cells. This way the cost of energy creation is reduced. The happiest thing is that the technology in the manufacturing solar panels also evolving due to its highest demand. Everyone understood the need for a green energy source. You can use solar panel to power 80% of heat and electricity requirement of your house.

Solar Power : How Easy Making Solar Panels At Home?

Filed under: Technology and Gadgets — admin @ 11:17 pm

Did you see any time building solar panels or do you know how to build solar panels? Have you ever thought that making it by yourself in your home is quite easy? Indeed it is very easy and hopefully like a fun sport making it in your home. If you browse internet, you will find a lot of information on solar panel and how to build solar panels at home by yourself.

If you are making your own solar panel, then your expenditure load on energy requirement will be drastically reduced. One more important thing is that you are directly helping environment and saving it from pollution. Using eco friendly devices provide healthy environment to the future generation. If you are certain, then you can construct solar panels by purchasing solar cells.

Solar cells are preassembled cells and are used only to convert sunlight energy into electrical energy. Whereas, photovoltaic cells are capable of converting light energy from different sources into electrical energy. You can purchase all parts required for constructing solar panels from a reputed solar cells supplier.

A good literature on how to make solar cells will guide you in making solar cells easily. There are silicon-based and copper-based photovoltaic cells. We can use the copper based as it is having superconducting photovoltaic properties. The cuprous oxide is heated to a high degree until the oxide layer is fully decomposed and converted into red copper and this metallic copper is used in the preparation of cells.

If you are able to build you own solar panels, then it becomes a source for you to earn money. Many companies are in need of energy for their growth in the industrial sector. If you are capable of producing surplus energy; many companies will approach you for buying the energy. In this way also you can gain financial gain apart from reducing your energy bills. This is the right choice to get award or appreciation for your full effort in making solar energy panels at home. Many of your neighbors will be aware of these things and know the clear benefits of renewable energy source and start to build solar panels at home.

If you are tired of spending so much money on energy bills then you will be willing to cut the cost of your electric bill and have an alternative energy system which will save you thousands of dollars in the future. Than you have to build solar panels at home to accomplish your desired goals.

how can you make your own solar cells for solar panels?

Filed under: solar panels for homes — admin @ 9:38 am

i see these things all over the internet on how to make ‘home made solar panels’ but all of them require you to buy the solar cells and nothing tells you how to make your own. So how can you make your own solar cells?

Firstly, to address the link pointed out by bwise; that’s hardly what constitutes what we mean by a "solar panel" is it? sure that can be a solar cell, but I’d like to see anyone build an array of these and get 175W of energy and compare the size difference between what we mean when we say "Solar Panel".

Ok, to the asker, i a not sure what you are referring to when you refer to these online "guides"; but if there is anyone one out there that has a a process of building solar panels from materials made in the home, not only is he going to become a billionaire but also I want a share of it :-)

So, just to give you an understanding of what a solar "cell" is made up of and the complexity of the process in producing it, you will understand that to make a solar panel, you NEED to BUY the cells indeed.

Solar panels are made up of "solar cells", for sake of completeness. The solar cells on the other hand are made up of semiconductor technology, which is basically the stuff that runs our world today, commonly known as "chips" or computer chips. These "chips" that are in almost EVERY single electronic device that exists today can be made with different parameters to exhibit and/or exploit its various properties. Having said this, if you have a slight knowledge of electronics you will know what LEDs are. LED is an acronym for Light Emitting Diode. This is a device which when a voltage is applied, emits light as its name suggests and uses very little power. These are made with tiny chips enclosed in translucent housing so the light can be seen.

The solar panel works on the reverse principle. A solar cell has many LED like structures engineered to work in the reverse process. When the light hits these "cells" the electrons are energised by the photons (a light component) and they are mobilised producing current; i.e. electricity.

Now silicon, a semiconductor material is made from sand. (YES sand, like that of the stuff found on the beach :-) It’s heated up to to a molten state, purified…etc etc… and then cut to circular discs called wafers, doped with boron or another depending on the required parameters, the stencil being applied and stuff…. all this being taken place in a multi million dollar semiconductor facility with clean rooms and where all the personnel working there are covered head to toe in white suits and masks whose breath might even be dangerous for the products being developed….

So, as you can see this is a very very very complicated and expensive process hence for anyone who has a much cheaper alternative, that is why I would want to be a part of it as it would be an electronic revolution.

So in conclusion, I would say from what I know and have conveyed the home production of conventional solar cells by us enthusiasts is pretty much impossible. Though, I would appreciate it if you could if you could give me a few of the links that you are referring to that sparked this question. I think it will be an interesting read at worst.

Hope this helped.

calculate assessable income for 2009?

Filed under: residential solar panels — admin @ 7:39 am

Sheila B Wright is a Chartered Accountant in sole practice. She employs one other accountant and a receptionist/secretary. For the year ended 30 June 2009 she received cash from customers of $500,000. Her records establish that at 30 June 2009 the value
of accounts receivable was $100,000 and at 30 June 2008 the value of accounts receivable was $80,000.

By 30 June 2009 Sheila had also performed accounting services to the value of $70,000 which had not been billed to her clients. Value of work done but not billed at 30 June 2008 was $60,000.

In January 2009 Sheila saw a promotion from a local hospital asking for volunteers to participate in a trial of a drug which had the potential to cure diabetes. Being a longtime sufferer of diabetes, Sheila was very interested in participating in this trial. Volunteers had to be over 40 years of age, non smokers, and be on no other medication other than to treat diabetes. Sheila met these criteria and so she volunteered to be part of the trial. This trial involved making 3 visits to the clinic,exercising regularly and recording her exercise and food consumption on a daily chart. By 30 June 2009 Sheila was paid $300 and was also given a voucher to spend at a local bookstore to the value of $100. This voucher was not transferable to
anybody else.

Sheila loves sport and participates in a football tipping competition on the Internet. Sheila studied the teams each week and considered all information she could get her hands on whilst picking her winners. She even developed her own system of analysing past winners to predict the outcome of the games. The football season has 22 rounds and Sheila picked the most winners in 3 of these rounds in March, July and
August 2008 winning $20 per round. By season’s end, in September 2008, Sheila was placed third overall in the competition and won a cash prize of $1,000.

Sheila owns a residential property that she rents to a young family at $350 per week. During May 2009, Sheila applied for and received government assistance to the value of $8,000 for the purposes of installing solar panels on the roof. The residential property had been rented for the whole 2009 tax year; however the tenants did not pay
the last weekly rental payment until July 2009. The solar panels were installed in June 2009 at a cost of $12,000 and Sheila was entitled to an income tax deduction of $100 for the solar panels for the year ended 30 June 2009 under Division 40 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

calculate Sheila’s assessable income for the year ended 30 June 2009. ??????????//?????

500000 Cash
100000-80000=20000 AR
70000-60000= 10000 work in progress
350 x 52 = 18200
8000 gov grant
100 less income tax

500000+20000+10000+18200-8000-100
=540100

thats hard

After you install the solar panels on your home the value of your home will increase by thousands
