SOLAR ENERGY

SOLAR ENERGY

1. How many main types of clouds are there?

Just one, called cumulus.

2. Can clouds increase solar irradiance reaching a photovoltaic?

Yes, they can, due to a particular phenomenon called Mie scattering

3. Do solar towers that produce energy from the sun work at night?
Not they don't.

4. Which of the three (or combination of) types of solar irradiance do photovoltaics use?

 All three

5. Which one the countries below has the highest solar irradiance potential?
Cyprus


6. Is solar energy the solution?

No, because the solar energy have many fluctuations due to the clouds position.


7. Should more focus be given to better and cheaper batteries to store energy for household use?
Yes, because the battery could save money on energy consumption that is supplied by power stations.

8. If satellite imaging was open-data, and anyone could access it, would that increase the use of solar energy systems?

Yes, because people will have a very useful tool to predict the movement of the clouds.

9. How would the world, as we know it, change, if free energy was available for all?

Traditional power stations would be obsolete.

REPORT

Report

The project will to have a very important impact in the Youth Integration Center .

That's because we will to donate the solar oven to the people of this center. They'll to use the oven in a pastry shop, that the institution will to open for help to the patients. 

The solar oven will have the particularity to track the sun's path.

Areas where impacts

   Enviromental:

§it is environment-friendly because it uses a   minimum amount of energy

§Its main source of energy is  solar energy.

Doesn’t produce any kind of contamination.

Economy:

§Doesn’t consume much energy.

§Its construction is cheap

Millenium Goal:

This project is associated with the firts millenium goal: Eradicate Poverty and Hunger.

Application

• To heat the food inside, using the sunlight.
• An easy control for the user.
• Different forms to cook, like: Baking , Roast, Brown, Dehydrate.

Solar Oven's Components :
