Solar: Products & Solutions

World Record

Have you ever wanted to ride in a solar powered airplane. It may be coming, but not for a while. According to Wired, the Zephyr flew for over 82 and half hours. The plane was unmanned, but it is a huge accomplishment.

Technology on solar energy is rapidly growing. There are products already in the market.

Solar Panels harness sunlight and convert it to energy to be used to heat homes and cities. There are a wide array of companies that sell them at affordable prices. In fact, within the past month a privately held solar technology company, nanosolar.com, found a way to produce solar cells 100 times thinner and a 100 times faster. This is an great step towards truly affordable solar technology.

Solar lights provide a way to create light without having to plug in lamps. They use the solar cells which creates the energy that run the lamps. While there are many outdoor lamps, indoor lamps are less available.

Solar furnaces are similar to standard furnaces in size and shape, except they are powered by the sun. They are available and usually are price competitive, but the panels must be installed, making it less affordable. There are innovations in furnaces, they are not just for your home. Structures like one in France can be used to create huge amounts of energy.

Solar Towers may be a big step forward into creating abundant and affordable energy. These large structures are being tested in countries all over the world. From the current research available they are affordable and with more development it can have an impact on the global energy concern.

As research progresses the more solar power energy will become more affordable. Green power technology advances daily and so does affordability of products.
