i live in a mobile home,wondering if the solar screens really help with keeping heat out,and lower electric bill?
when i bought my house the inspector noticed that it had solar screens and made a comment like they help to reduce the heat in the house as well keep out some if the glare.but in a...
Over the last decade the demand for renewable sources has grown exponentially putting the spotlight or should I say sunlight on solar cells and their manufactures. There are two main categories of solar systems, solar cells and solar water heather; Solar photovoltaics also know as “PVs” are cells that convert solar radiation (sunlight) into electricity. ...
Im doing a project for science on energy resources and i happened to chose solar and hydro power energy. I need some opinions about them.. Are these good energy sources..Tell me what you guys think.
All power sources have drawbacks. The two you mention, like nuclear, are relatively clean, which is a plus.
Hydro is very...
Does anyone have any info, preferably a link to organizations that measure solar output/sunspot activity/etc., which relates to the temperature of the earth for as long as such things have been tracked? I'm looking for scientific data and correlations. Thanks in advance.

What effect does the solar wind have on Earth’s magnetic field?
A. Compasses on Earth stop working.
B. Earth’s magnetosphere is spread out farther on the side of Earth not facing the sun.
C. The magnetic field on the side facing the sun is warmer.
D. Solar...
This past winter my tenants had frozen water twice. Once when the power went out for 5 hours and another time when it hit -38 and no tap was running. The well is enclosed in a heated, insulated room with electric pump. There is also plenty of wind, so am thinking of going solar or...
What is the amount of solar energy required to drive a 250 pound cart with a 250 pound person 10 miles? How many square feet of recharged paneling would be required?
If you are willing to go slowly enough, all you need from the solar panel is enough to overcome static friction to get the cart...
I want to save money by using solar power, where I can.I already turn off lights when I am not in a room. I live in a 16 X 80 2000 trailer. But I only use the kitchen and my room most of the time. I have already bought a oil filled heater just...
For centuries, many peoples around the world have had to gather bundles of firewood for cooking ... a process that not only produces carbon emissions but has a significant effect on health.
Smoke and fumes cause respiratory diseases killing an estimated 1.6 million people a year worldwide.
But as the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference approaches, one Norwegian...
I want to do a science project where I create my own solar panels out of different materials to see which one will produce the greatest amount of energy. Is this a realistic topic if it has to be done before Thanksgiving? If so, how do I make the solar panels? How do I measure/convert...
