Hemisphere Starlight
Hemisphere Questions?

Yesterday star cast a spell of magic invoked a plate of corn bread, and when I took a bite, I and my granddaughter were transformed into monkeys and moved through a Starlight Wave Blaster. I think I'm on Planet Nigeria, as I am surrounded by other black people. Could it be a possibility in this world of time and space?

No. The computer that is used for writing was not invented in Nigeria.

Why people are not flocking to the Solar Power Generation?

The world is awakening to the realization that electricity will become more expensive than our utilities move from fossil fuels based on sustainable sources of electricity generation.

There is a wide range of sustainable methods of electricity generation – nuclear power to wind, solar, ocean or water movement, plus many others.

Did you know that very little of the worlds energy demands are being met by solar technology. Worldwide Accounts solar electricity for less than 0.01% of total energy demand. Yet the demand for sustainable electricity generation is growing to almost 25% per annum over the last ten years.

Compare this with the demand for fossil fuel energy that only grows to 0-2% annually.

Why are not people flocking to solar power generation?

We think they are. The biggest inhibitor to mount panels solar on your roof is in fact the cost to do so. Or is it more important – the recovery period. If you can not recover the cost of installing solar panels on the first 12-18 months or less, then we believe you should consider building their own solar panels. Surely you will save money and reduce the recovery period.

The road-making is a simple five-step process.

First Step: How much energy is needed??

Serve recent electricity bills. We suggest you do this for the last 2-3 years, even out any variations in demand.

Set a table of their electricity consumption record for each month of the kilowatt-hour (kwh) usage in each month. If you have separate hot water measurement record this as well.

How much electricity is used each year? What was the maximum amount used in each year? What was the percentage increase each year?

If you decide to install solar energy and the amount of electricity needed is the amount used in the heaviest use months of this year. Then increase this by the average increase from the previous two years. This is the maximum amount you will need.

Step Two: Where / how is electricity to be consumed??

In order to meet its electricity needs from solar you need to understand where this energy is consumed. Count how many devices that has ever, the amount of watts used in the operation and add extra for the use of elements that do not use constantly.

Check the labels on the devices. This will help you understand that your use is going and why? It will also identify areas or equipment where you can save through better use of equipment.

On your unit you will see the number of watts each appliance uses. A washing machine creating your own hot water for example, be 2000 watts. It is about 2 kilowatts per hour.

To calculate the cost of electricity of this appliance by multiplying the number of kilowatt for the price of a kwh of electricity bill. It is also useful if there are two modes of operation of a device to record – that is, a heating washer own water and when cold water is used, air conditioning heating and cooling as well.

Third Step: Think about where you can save electricity!

We suggest the sensible approach is to identify areas where energy savings can be made and proof of your savings are realistic, practices and can be maintained for a period.

For example, your television. If you turn it off with the remote control is still using about 20 watts. Despite not using your TV is actually wasting energy.

And his team. The computer and the monitor about 180 watts when turned on usage. computers are certified by Energy Saver, which means they need the same energy that lights up and during regular use. Therefore, if you're not using the computer off).

Step Four: The purchase of solar panel technology!

We are firmly of the view that the construction of its own solar panels is very cost effective solution.

The starting point for either buying solar panels or make your own is the amount of electricity it needs and therefore, how many panels you need.

If you followed through this article, you'll have a pretty good idea the amount of kilowatt Per hour, you may need.

Solar panels are rated from 1 watt to 300 + watts. Most solar panels up to 135 watts with 12 volts DC (12VDC). Most solar panels over 135 watts 21-40 VDC.

The watt rating is the amount of energy (amps x volts), the panel produced in full sunlight at 77 degrees F or 25 degrees C. This is the industry standard for all grades photovoltaic panel. However, if "best" scenario.

In many places there are about four hours of peak sun per day when the solar panel will be operating at peak efficiency. But the panels will work 24 hours a day with all forms of light as stars, street lights, and heavy cloud conditions. On average throughout the year reduces the performance of a solar panel on a 10-15% power maximum nominal.

The actual number is interested in watts for each dollar You Are paying. By building your own solar panels can get the panel price down to $ 200-300. One need not be technically inclined and information packages now available are brilliant.

You can build a 120 watt solar panel yourself to say $ 240.00. That's $ 0.50 per watt.

Be practical it needs to reduce the 120 watts per example, 15% to 102 watts watts. That's $ 0.42per.

If you buy a 120 watt solar panels across the Internet will have to pay something like 1100 dollars for a ready to install the unit. That's $ 9.30 per watt when efficiency is reduced by 15%.

If we use the house on the right as an example, six solar panels produce 720 watts of energy per second (during peak times sunlight) would cost about $ 6600 and would be more than enough for food.

There are about four hours of peak sunshine per day, but do not let that fool you. The solar panels are still working on the night taking small amounts of energy of starlight (or if you're in the city of constant light of street lights), even in the winter, whenever. (There are plenty of people out there who believe that the solar panels no longer work at all at night.)

Step Five: How much solar energy do I need?

The solar energy varies from one place to another throughout the world and is highly dependent on weather conditions. We expect to generate per hour or 1.2KW/m2 4095 BTU power at high noon sunlight. (1 kWh = 3412.3 BTU)

Let's say your area covered slopes to the south in the hemisphere north and north in the southern hemisphere, is 500 square feet, or 48m2. Normally the solar energy available in a year in one square meter of roof is 1500KWH.

So, using the above figures could expect to generate 48 x 1.500 = 72 000 245 566 000 kwh or Btu. That is a day on average 197kwh If, like us uses an average of 30 kWh per day of total electricity consumption you would need 75 square feet, or 7.5m2 solar panel.
