Photovoltaic Solar Energy

It is increasingly common to see solar panels on the field, especially in sunny areas and begin to appear in homes, but We know it works? Renewables now try to show what lies beneath.

The photovoltaic solar energy is a type of renewable energy that comes from the sun's rays to produce electricity through the photovoltaic effect that is often used for different purposes such as appliances, isolated houses or go directly to distribution networks.

The two main applications given on photovoltaic solar energy is directed to:

     Photovoltaic solar energy directed at isolated installations the power grid is composed of solar panels that capture solar rays, and this energy is stored in batteries. This allows us to enjoy electricity in places that sometimes are inaccessible to the network such as mountain huts, lighting, cottages, etc..
 
     On the opposite side are photovoltaic systems connected to the network consisting of the same process for the production of energy with the difference of application, in which it is sent to the electricity grid.

Did you know that electric distribution companies in Spain are obliged by law to purchase the energy produced by solar power?

The photovoltaic power plants are one of our options when it comes to enhance and increase the consumption of solar energy to proliferate ever more strongly renewable energy.

It's about time that both the utilities and the general public begins to see solar energy not only as a possibility that now seems out of reach financially but as a cost-effective long-term goals and issues such as environment, economy and quality of life.


  

Solar Stage in Taiwan

One of the countries that look to the future is Taiwan, where a stadium that generates 100% of its electricity has been built using photovoltaic solar energy, which is not just taking into account that can hold more than 55,000 people, and this 8,844 solar panels have been used.



These solar panels capture enough energy to be able to use the 3,300 lights of the stadium and its two giant screens to enjoy full of events.

The cost since then that it has not been little, being $ 150 million, but taking into account the large consumption of this giant, will be too long in amortized.

Power Flower - Wind Energy

Wind energy can not only be practice in the field of feed of renewable energy, because that can also be used as decorative, while you get the aforementioned energy, and can see you this exemplified in the wind flowers designed by NL Architects.


These calls "power flower" is a complete system of wind turbines with a tree with many branches, and which can play the function of generating energy both in urbanized environments with in domestic use.

But they also allow use with solar panels to thus generate renewable energy on a hybrid basis in cases where the missing Sun or wind.
