What is Solar Power?

Most times, when solar power is mentioned, it should not be surprising that the answer might vary from one individual to another, and from one region of the world to another. Yet there is only one sun from which we know solar energy is generated. What then is solar power?

Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into heat and electricity, either directly using
contraptions like photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP).
Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large
area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics convert light into electric current using
the photoelectric effect.

What are the benefits of Solar Applications?
· Free energy: Does not take any fuel to operate
· Natural Resources needing no further processing
· Renewable, not depleting like fossil fuels
· Reliable: The sun will come up every day in various degrees
· Durable: Most solar panels will be working for 20 years or more because there is no
wearing parts
· Easy management: Just brush the dust off from time to time
· Silent worker: No noise pollution
· Modular development: Start with little and increase the units until you have enough

As you read further, you may be able to define your needs in solar energy and find the required
means to convert the solar energy into your own personal aid.

Little contraption: EXTRA POWER

Recently, I introduced a small appliance that can be used to charge your mobile phone on the go. I am happy to announce there is also an effective power bank to charge your laptop pc on the go, even if there is no mains electricity. It means that your personal life and business activities can now be completely mobile as long as the day breaks and and the sun shines. Bravo to the new solar technologies! View the different models below and leave your comments. More info will come to you if you subscribe to this blog. The Prices and specifications? Check the next post!

A few days ago, I was informed about the availability of a new solar photovoltaic contraption in town. By the way, 'photovoltaic' is the terminology used by particular solar dealers to describe items that convert light into electrical energy. This panel is small and handy, and is made to provide energy source for charging all sorts of mobile phones as well as provide lighting by an LED lamp. Trust me, my interest was instantly aroused, not minding the fact that I have been dawdling on building my own solar panel for personal use and for friends and possible customers ;-) for the past three years but never got beyond the planning stage.
The worst part of the scenario is, as I was told, the new panels now available in town was built by an enthusiast like me! Ooooooh, someone has beaten me right to the solar self-building game! And right here in my own neighborhood! That felt like a punch below the belly, but I knew that I had let it hang for too long anyway, and the whole world would not wait for me.
Nevertheless, I took some courage and decided to see the contraptions which were being offered for sale at about $32 (N5,000.00). Perhaps I could use this small panel to understudy the work of a more advanced creator. Perhaps I could even get the manufacturer of this thing to teach me a few things about making solar panels (though I wonder what else I needed to learn after watching several tutorial videos and reading as many ebooks on do-it-yourself solar panels).
Without further ado, I got a dozen of these panels, took out one of them and studied the specifications while charging it for the off-grid, off-generator, charging of my phones. The package comes with its own battery and switch box as well as adapters for various kinds of phones. But I noticed that it does not have the manufacturer's name or address, only a lot of English and Chinese translations on the User's Manual. Chinese? Why would a Nigerian manufacturer prepare user's manual in Chinese? Definitely, this is yet another Chinese product joining the avalanche of other stuffs drowning the Nigerian market and, I suspect, African market too! Okay? No problem about that....
I brought the panel and charged battery indoors after the initial 24 hours mandatory charge and connected it to my dying phone. It works! Great! For now, this is all that matters to me. Now I have to dispose of the remaining 11 sets of Solar Mobile Phone Chargers, since I don't need more than one. I will be placing the pictures and specifications of the Solar Charger on my new website www.dpclinks.com where any interested customer can request for them and they would be delivered to them without delay.

Solar Farm located in the United States

Soon enough, I am still looking forward to the day when I will place my own self-built solar panels on my roof-tops, and on my website in offer for sale. Ultimately, I might be the first African to create a solar farm, to finally bring the sole use of environment-depleting fossil fuels for energy to a halt.
