What is solar power

Very micro solar power under 100

Cool if this is scalable then it is a winner, think of this.

You can heat by solar and wood and more solar via radiant heating.

You can have multiple sources, for your laptop, light.

Question is how do you power the refrig?

Yes you can dry most food but a good steak and cold drink need to be cool.

I will follow along with this website.

Portable solar power

2010-01-18T13:03:00.000-08:00

There is nothing better then going deep into the woods cooking a nice lunch, and listening to some great music while watching the animals and scenery.

This is also a romantic way to suprize a special person in your life. Ok call me old fashion, but free Portable solar power good food, some wine and a sunset with some good solar powered tunes really works for me.

If that is not your thing how about charging power tools for free using a small solar panel, we do it daily.; Portable solar power is great for remote locations and job sites and it saves you money which is always a good thing.

Google plans new mirror for cheaper solar power

2009-12-08T12:28:00.000-08:00

Search giant Google wants to reduce the costs involved in building solar thermal plants and is developing its own mirror technology to help achieve the aim.

Speaking at the Reuters Global Climate and Alternative Energy Summit in San Francisco on Wednesday, Google's green energy czar Bill Weihl said it was investing in companies and researching ways to produce renewable energy within a few years.

The company said it expected to be able to demonstrate some working mirror technology in the next few months, but there was still a lot of work left to do on issues such as on the impact of wear and tear on reflective surfaces.

"We're not there yet," he said. "I'm very hopeful we will have mirrors that are cheaper than what companies in the space are using..."

Weihl added that Google is also investigating the potential of gas turbine technology that runs on solar power rather than the usual natural gas.

Xcel Energy to add 257 megawatts or solar power

2009-10-28T07:33:00.000-07:00

DENVER (AP) - Xcel Energy has added more than 257 megawatts of solar power to its plan for meeting Colorado's renewable energy standard by 2020.

We should bump up the time frame on this to 2015, we can save money the environment and reduce oil dependancy all at the same time.

How can solar power help your garden

2009-10-19T12:12:00.000-07:00

One easy way to extend your gardening season is to use mirrors, with some of my seedling beds I Put a mirror behind the bed facing SOUTH this reflects the sun and heat back so the sun is shining from both North and South.

I have been able to grow tomato seedlings in September this way, one thing to watch for is burning if you use a plastic cover over your growbox or seedling bed make sure to open it on hot days with full sun.

I use the Mittleider method taught by the Sustainable gardening Non-Profit Food for Everyone Foundation.

Without the sun no plant will live, thats the ultimate in Solar Power

Starwood energy buys majority share

Starwood bought a majority share of the Nautilus company. Nautilus constructs grid sized solar power system. There output capacity should be up to 500 megawatts of power within the next two years. Great steps towards our Independence from oil.

Did you know you can now power your Laptop or cell phone with a portable solar panel? As each week goes by the prices go down. Do you have a favorite portable solar panel? They come attached to backpacks and also as single units.

My Christmas gift to myself is a portable solar power system. Why pay for electricity when God provides us sun for free.

Ecotality leading the way in solar power

2007-12-15T10:15:00.000-08:00

Emcore Corp, a leading supplier of space based solar power and communication systems has signed a contract to supply 60MW of solar power systems to Pod Generating Group in Ontario, Canada. From their space-based experience, Emcore has formed a Solar Power division to bring advanced technology to terrestrial applications.

On the ground, Emcore provides multi-junction solar cells that are combined into concentrator photovoltiac (CPV) arrays. CPV technology uses lens and mirrors to concentrate the solar power onto the multi-junction cell. The concentrator allow a cell 1 cm square to generate the same power as a 500 sq. cm of solar cells would without concentration. The use of low cost materials to manufacturer the concentrators make the arrays more cost effective than conventional silicon modules.

Emcore developed the first generation of CPV in 2006 and is working on gen II. It appears this sale to Pod Generating Group will be the first large scale application of their technology. Their different approach to solar power generation may make them a company to keep an eye on.

Solar power flexible panels

2007-10-28T08:42:00.001-07:00

The US Army is currently testing flexible solar panels to power radio and GPS systems in Iraq why don't we all follow the example. As pricing goes down you will more people pulling out a flexible solar panel to power their ipods, laptops and cell phones. As conversion outputs increases you can expect to see lower prices and rapid growth in Portable solar power

I have always been interested in solar power especially Portable solar power.

The great news is that as technology increases prices are will continue to decrease.

There is nothing better then going deep into the woods cooking a nice lunch, and listenting to some great music while watching the animals and scenery.

Charging power tools for free using a small solar panel, is another great option with portable solar power.

I will be doing reviews of portable solar chargers, solar panels and complete solar packages.
