Solar Energy: Renewable Energy and the Environment

buildsolar — Sat, 19 May 2012 04:38:10 +0000

Drawing on the authorsâ�� extensive research and project implementation around the globe, Solar Energy: Renewable Energy and the Environment covers solar energy resources, thermal and photovoltaic systems, and the economics involved in using solar energy. It provides background theory on solar energy as well as useful technical information for implementing solar energy applications. The book details the strengths, weaknesses, and applications of solar power generation technologies. It discusses the design and implementation of often-overlooked solar technologies, such as solar water pumping, distillation, detoxification, refrigeration, and village power. The text also examines photovoltaic power and how it is best suited for remote-site applications with small to moderate power requirements. Examples, real-world case studies, and lessons learned from technical failures illustrate how to best implement solar energy projects. The time for clean energy solutions is here. Only through energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies can modern civilization extricate itself from the gathering "perfect energy storm." Focusing on one of the keys to lessen the potentially harmful impacts of the storm, this book discusses how to increase energy production from a clean energy sourceâ��the sun.

when building a solar panel should the diode be on the positive or negative side

little more detail i just built a solar panel and im running it to a grid tie converter should i put diodes in if i add another panel or are they only for battery systems?
do i need blocking or bypassing and how do i tell the diff?

How do I replace batteries in a RC car with a solar panel?

buildsolar — Tue, 15 May 2012 16:45:06 +0000

I wish to replace the use of two 1.5V AAA batteries in an RC car by connecting a 6V, 50mA solar panel. What do I need to do in converting the voltage from the solar panel down to the voltage normally given off by the batteries? My electronics knowledge is deeply embedded in my memory and I don’t remember exactly what the formulas and circuit that’s needed. Thanks in advance for your help.8

How can you charge a car battery with solar panel?

Why is a charge controller not necessary for a 5 watt solar panel?

buildsolar — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:42:02 +0000

My 5 watt solar panel car battery charger manual states that charge controller is not necessary for panels under 15 watts. I’m trying to understand the physics of why that’s the case. Even if my panel is only putting out say 15 volts at 350mA couldn’t it eventually overcharge a battery? What if the 5 watt solar panel were connected to a smaller battery, like a 7amp 12v, could it overcharge that battery? BTW, it has a diode to keep the battery voltage from discharging into the solar panel.
