Solar Energy *tree image blatantly lifted from the website of the Union for Concerned Scientists *

Why use “alternative” energy sources? · no CO2 emissions · no dependence on non-renewable sources · no pollution the Pinnacle on PA’s AT

Benefits of photovoltaics: · low life-cycle cost · zero emissions · silent · modular · can be used off-grid · low maintenance/operation effort · small loads in urban environments and anyway, the sun is a pretty cool thing.

Types of PV systems: · building integrated · concentrator collectors · stand-alone PV systems · grid-connected systems · space applications

Average Daily Solar Radiation aesthetically pleasing “white” space sketchy resolution

Other forms of solar power: · Passive Solar · Concentrating Solar · Solar Hot Water and Space Heating and Cooling
