An Introduction to Solar Energy
Eric W. Brown
feneric@ccs.neu.edu
In today's climate of growing energy needs and increasing environmental concern, alternatives to the use of non-renewable and polluting fossil fuels have to be investigated. One such alternative is solar energy.
Solar energy is quite simply the energy produced directly by the sun and collected elsewhere, normally the Earth. The sun creates its energy through a thermonuclear process that converts about 650,000,0001 tons of hy ...

A Shining Example
What is solar power and why do we need it? Paul Allen investigates:
1) What's the problem?
Like it or not, whenever we use energy from fossil fuels, we are dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. From the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the rate at which we burn fossil fuels has increased every year. The rise of the automobile and the easy availability of cheap petrochemicals in the 1950s and 1960s has made this increase expo ...

Dale's Solar Energy System
A Home Powered by Alternative Energy in Ukiah, CA
One of my major interests is alternative energy. I live in the woods far away from utility power lines, but I wouldn't hook up even if the utility company offered to bring power to my house for free.
Instead I have the satisfaction of producing and maintaining my own energy system, based directly (solar) and indirectly (hydro) on the sun. I have lived with an alternative energy system for years and watched the qual ...

Four Myths About Solar Power
1. MYTH: Solar energy and solar designs work well only in warm, sunny climates.
REALITY: Solar technolgies and passive solar design can work efficiently and cost-effectively anywhere in the United States, even in cloudy communities. Solar energy electrifies message signs and flashing arrow boards on roadways in every state in the country (see p. 10). Solar water heating systems are providing hot water economically for a swimming pool in Aurora, Colorado (see p. ...
