[S705]Solar Power To Home
by Ray Walberg, Ray
Our need for electricity is increasing every day, solar power is becoming a suitable alternative to burning fossil fuels. The sun is extremely powerful, if we could collect all of this energy for a single day and store it in batteries it would be able to supply everyone in the world with enough electricity to last a whole year! This gives you a just how powerful the sun is and why you should consider converting your home to run on solar power.

The sun will be there for a very long time to come, and so why shouldn't people take advantage of it and start using it for energy? Solar power is completely renewable as it will never run out. Solar power is becoming more and more popular because it is continually being made more efficient. There are some important advantages that you should know about solar power before you decide whether it is right for you or not.

Benefits

Solar power is so popular because it doesn't cost any money. You do have to make an initial investment to buy the panels and get them fitted. Solar panels should last for a very long time which will mean you should pay off the cost of the investment fairly quickly. They are also environmentally friendly, burning fossil fuels releases pollution and greenhouse gasses into the environment. It's no surprise that people are adopting solar power as a result of these benefits.

Considering The Cost

You should carefully consider all of the costs involved when installing solar panels. Forget about the benefits for a second and just focus on the costs. Although the costs associated with installing solar panels are extremely high, you should consider that it's actually like you are paying up front for a number of year's electricity. Once you have paid for the installation cost you won't have to spend any more money for quite some time to come.

However you must remember that you will still need to use an electricity company to supply you with electricity at night. Another thing that you can consider is selling your power back to the grid if you make more power than you use, this causes your meter to spin backwards which can offset the electricity which you use.

Our demand for electricity increases every year, the problem with this is that to keep up with demand more fossil fuels are being burnt. When fossil fuels are burnt they release pollution into the air. This damages our planet, and puts it under more pressure. Solar power is becoming cheaper and more affordable every day, not only this but it is also becoming much more efficient. As it becomes even cheaper more and more people will start to convert their homes to run on solar power.

"According to the current promotional efforts, is expected to 3 years, small-scale solar power stations can go to common people's family, then home residents receiving equipment by virtue of solar power electricity achieve 'self-sufficiency'." This is from the reporter a few days ago the electricity sector in our province and R & D department to obtain information.

How solar power stations running on? Future access to people's small-scale solar power station look like? With these questions, this reporter recently came to our province's first solar power station building base - Chaohu City Cudrania had visited the town of Gao.

Power seems very easy

In November last year, the provincial power companies as a pilot project for solar power station at Chaohu Cudrania Gao's a wasteland Kaijian up. Full use of this power station with independent intellectual property rights of technology and products, is the first in the country, but also bears a pilot solar power generation applications important mission.

March 7, reporter with the electricity department staff-de-sac down the countryside come to this solar power station, it is far from reporter to imagine the complex, on the contrary is very simple. One large glass panel in the sun shine, they are receiving and transforming the solar power solar electric panels. This set of solar electric panels, about 100 or so, each block of about 1.2 square meters electricity boards, neatly laid on the metal stent.

According to introduction, solar electric panels for the three-tier structure, the surface for the tempered glass, as the core material between silicon bottom are organic materials such as PVC. Reporter see that the electricity board block each string and, through a wire connected with the inverter, direct current into alternating current into the power grid.

Solar power in the receiving equipment, not very far away, have an independent small-scale solar power receiving equipment, only the block more than 20 solar electric panels. Staff said that this is the home of a small solar power station "prototype", "future, to enter the home of a small solar power station is also肯定会比this pocket-sized."

Entirely remote-controlled unmanned

Solar energy at power plants, journalist feels quiet, the original, this power station unattended, usually someone apart from the occasional visitors, the only蛇鼠accompanied with, in the power station can be seen everywhere in蛇鼠capture tool.

However, solar power station with the Chaohu City office supply company's monitoring network, staff can be through the network, run on solar power station for remote monitoring and remote control.

"At present, the power station rated power to 20 kilowatts, the annual power generation of about 30,000 degrees, which is equivalent to one year, all residents of the building's electricity consumption." Chaohu City electricity department official said, the current cost-effective power plant is not significant, However, environmental protection and other social benefits should not be underestimated. "It's 30,000 degrees if electric power generation, annual emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere 8.7 tons, 0.27 tons of sulfur dioxide emissions by using solar power is absolutely no pollution."

Reporter from the electricity department was informed that the province is currently building a solar power plant has been fully opened, following the Chaohu Lake, the Bengbu, Hefei, are beginning to build solar power station. Even in Hefei, a residential community developer has also recently completed a commercial solar power stations, supply the street lamps and lawn lamp power community.

Cost will be more and more cheap

"Solar energy power plant in the province because of the rapid diffusion, home solar power generation from ordinary people more and more near." Photovoltaic Systems Engineering Research Center of the Ministry of Education Industrial Base expert Zhou told reporters that before the high prices of solar electric panels, ordinary residents do not beginning, but now more and more low cost, if there is the residents willing to build small-scale solar power stations, there is only 10 square meters of open space, cost about 20,000 yuan to buy eight solar electric panels, you can ask the departments concerned to the construction of small Solar energy power plant, and construction of the installation cycle, only a week. Of course, the home needs to spend about 2,000 yuan configuration Units 1 inverter, solar power panels with phase, as long as the inverter of the line and the home of a phase plug, that is, all household appliances to power generation, and the power generation the volume of basic three homes for one year with (according to a person 100 degrees January electricity rates).

"Solar energy power plant after the installation and commissioning, maintenance convenience, the service life of at least 15 years." Zhou said that in developed countries, small-scale solar power plant equipment in ordinary supermarket sales alone, the family built a small solar power station is widespread. China's production of solar power generation equipment and technology is very advanced, very popular in foreign countries. However, the domestic residents know little about home solar power station.

Zhou said that with the solar power generating increasing publicity, combined with solar electric panels continue to lower prices and shrinking area, ordinary residents of the next three years will be able to spend about 5,000 yuan to build a small solar power station. "From last year to this year, solar electric panels have 30% of the price cut."

However, the power department official said small and medium-sized solar power station into the home is still the "bottleneck", for example, where community residents can "allow" it. "Do not build solar power stations, is the current installed solar water heater upstairs in the community are subject to a lot of 'blocked'. Therefore, the use of solar power plants and promotion needs to be a consensus in the community."
