Citizens demand solar energy instead of new power lines

ELECTRIC POWER DEBATE

The power system operators shall publish the first 500 submissions to the planning of future routes. The main argument: too many offshore wind farms, solar energy on too little land.

1500 comments were received during the planning process for future routes.
Many citizens do not believe in the meaning of the new wind farms in the sea. Therefore, they are against it, to build thousands of kilometers of new power lines across Germany. This is the main objection to the total of 1500 observations in the planning process for future routes.

The four operating companies of the high voltage network for electricity are proposing to build four major pipelines from the North and Baltic Sea to southern Germany. The cables are primarily used to conduct electricity from offshore wind farms in southern metropolitan centers like Munich and Stuttgart.

Solar cells make electricity from sun rays

The sun has great power - but it shows immediately. That's why there are special plants that make up the beam current.

Such is a solar system. It produces electricity - and that alone is the sun's rays

If you're out and about in the summer, you can feel it very well: solar radiation have a lot of energy. They make the skin hot, sometimes really hot - and when you are on a lake or an ocean, you realize that the sun also warms the water, so you can bathe in it. Think about it, how much energy is needed to heat a lake or a whole ocean. An awful lot. And this is just a small part of the huge force that has the sun.

solar cell dumping by China

Solar-dumping: Action against China SOLAR ENERGY

Struggles with an anti-dumping action, the European solar industry against cheap imports from China: The EU Commission a complaint had been filed against manufacturers of the country, confirmed Milan Nitzschke, spokesman for the new EU initiative ProSun, the trade paper. "The action is supported by the majority of European industry."

Behind the alliance, therefore there are 25 companies from Germany, Italy, Spain and other EU countries. These include, among others in Germany, the Bonn-based company, SolarWorld and Sovello from Bitterfeld-Wolfen.

In Germany, numerous companies in the industry have filed bankruptcy, others are struggling for survival. In addition to the reduction of government subsidies make cheap imports from China responsible for their crisis.

problems with solar panel systems to save heating oil and natural gas

Technology has been installed incorrectly: instead of saving energy, the faulty installation of the fuel oil consumption drove up

Solar system owners bring to incandescence

kre Dahlenburg. A solar panel on the roof of heating oil and natural gas, protects the environment and saves money and makes a good conscience. In short, a reasonable thing also. The thought also of Dahlenburger Rolf Kaiser, leaving his house in 2003 Dahlenburg equipped with this innovative technology. But instead there's quality botch on the roof of the physiotherapist. For eight long years, much time, money and even more nerve it took to make the system was able to finally, what they would have from the first cloudless day to do: convert solar energy into hot water for reliable backup heating.

Solar storm 2012: Solar flares can create storm

Solar flares may make news in the year 2012. Meanwhile you can watch solar flare tonight. Many scientists say that it can create storm in the area where it will be visible A NASA report has said that a M2-class solar flare is heading towards earth. This may bring another great moment for sky watchers who spend nights trying to see small meteors on some given days. The solar flare that originated from sun, two days ago may show up on skies tonight. A NOAA report suggests that the flare was caused by Region 1401. Another flare was fired by another region on the sun, but that may not reach the earth. Solar flares send out bursts of electromagnetic energy that can occasionally disrupt communications and electrical systems.

Organic solar cells with improved energy efficiency

The chemist Guillermo Bazan and Alan Heeger of the University of
California at Santa Barbara have developed a novel low molecular
weight compound, is to make the organic solar cells far more powerful,
Technology Review reported in its online edition. The prototype comes
at an efficiency of 6.7 percent. Bazan expects it to increase to 9
percent. Thus the cells would convert light into electricity more than
already on the market products such as "Power Plastic" by Konarka,
whose peak value is currently at 8.3 percent.
Although their efficiency is lower by about one-third than that of
conventional silicon cells, organic solar cells have a major
advantage: The molecules that make up its light-collecting layer, can
be in liquid form inexpensively imprinted on flexible substrate films.
Solar cells are thus possible, which are lightweight, flexible and
versatile.

Solar park goes online Sukow: More renewable energy

Region Parchim | 02.09.2011 - 13:14:51
Parchim / MVticker. With the Solar Park Sukow (Parchim) one of the largest facilities in the country was created to generate electricity from solar energy. After a construction period of about three months the work was completed today. "Renewable energies are a great opportunity for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. With projects of this kind we can push forward the expansion of decentralized renewable solar energy supply and consistently. So the people of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern directly benefit from the expansion of renewable energies, "said Construction Minister Volker Schlotmann Sukow today.

The solar farm was built on a former landfill site and along the railway line from Schwerin to Crivitz and covers 31 hectares. The 48 000 solar panels will generate 10.5 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year. With the power to about 3,700 households. Thus, the solar park is one of the largest in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
