Solution for the energy crisis: Solar power 21 Articles

by Daniel J. Gansle

A jaw-dropping fillup at the gas station and there's no question that we're spiraling into an energy crisis of historic proportions. While our wallets are growing ever thinner, China and India are demanding more oil as the...read more

Certainly if all areas of the globe were able to get enough sunshine to power the solar cells of homes, businesses, towns, etc., then it would be an answer. However, it's not that easy. Solar energy requires a certain pe...read more

Solar power is not yet technologically capable of solving our energy problems. The reason is that solar cells are at best only about 25% efficient, meaning that they can only convert about 25% of the light energy to which...read more

South Africa is currently facing a two-pronged energy crisis a shortage of electricity and oil at over $100 a barrel. The sun produces enough energy to provide for almost all of the power requirements of the world if thi...read more

Yes and no. Firstly the amount of energy radiating from the sun on the earth is about 1000 Watt per square meter at sea level. However the average amount of solar energy per day is (for north america) between the 3 and 9...read more

Solar cells could potentially solve the energy crisis. Households could become independent of the power grid or even give power back to the grid. Large businesses could defer much of their energy consumption. Schools co...read more

There is one way solar energy can solve the energy crisis, and that is to put the collectors in space. There are huge advantages to this, as well as some drawbacks. The three primary things which make solar satellites a ...read more

It sounds very nice, but unfortunately theory is rarely as good as practice. Solar power is something that should be developed a lot more, but at this moment the technology is simply not efficient enough to make any seriou...read more

Solar power is a unique form of energy that could very well fuel humanities lust for power in the near future. There are many reasons why solar power trumps other energy products, and these reasons are not necessarily what...read more

Solar energy is the energy of choice and although it has been a long way getting to where it is practical, the latest information shows it to be slowly getting more affordable. At least this is the mid-2008 report. The cos...read more

Solar energy can solve many energetic problems (to produce electric power with solar panels or, directly, hot water for domestic uses), but NOT ALONE. It must be used together its "sisters": WIND and GEOTHERMIC. ...read more

Solar power is definitely a good step in the right direction as part of the solution to our upcoming energy crisis. While some people may not think we have a crisis looming with shortages in the somewhat near future, mo...read more

First, let me say that solar power is a useful technology, and should be developed further. Despite that, however, I simply don't see solar power as being feasible or cost-efficient enough to have the necessary impact to &...read more

Solar energy is far less enough to support human daily activities. excluding those rainy and hazy day how much left the sunlight that are available to us? Combination of different energy source might be the only solutio...read more

One might argue that "solar energy" is what got us into this mess to begin with. Considering the fact that the vast oil fields originated from vast(and clearly ancient) biomass sources (though there is some frin...read more

Solar Power Can't Stand Alone.. Over the years we have redefined many sources of energy, the basics we have found out have flaws. Coal and other fuels due to the amount of use are creating an environmental problem that i...read more

Well, Solar and Wind are renewable energy sources that we have. But can they see us through Energy crisis. Trapping Solar Energy itself requires a huge investment in terms of Solar panels, batteries to keep it going even i...read more
