PV Gap

Mark Said:

what is the newest technology available to generate solar energy that can convert to electricity?

We Answered:

There are lots of ways to make electricity from the sun, most of which you've probably never heard of. Besides typical solar panels, there are:

concentrating PV
concentrating solar thermal power using steam turbines or Stirling engines
organic PV (under research)
thermal photovoltaic (TPV)
Solar hydrogen production
Even wind power and biomass are forms of solar energy

is there somebody who can help southernland to developed technology in solar energy.?

We Answered:

Who is Southernland? Where is he from?

Ok, I'm guessing that you mean in the southern part of the USA. That is very simple if you just want to develop home or business systems.. Just search the internet for Grid Tie Systems or Solar Electric Backup. Any solar electric business owner would be more then happy to increase their sales. And would give out all the information needed.

Now if you are trying to develop something new you are on your own because if someone else develops it they will put a price on it and sell it to you anyway.

You are not real clear in your question.

Sources of energy rising, technology proven "kinetic+solar energy" pass thru transformer = high/low energy

We Answered:

It's perpetual motion - the patent office won't even look at it.

If you look carefully enough at where every joule goes, you'll see that any cycle around some loop ends up with less energy than you started with. Transformers aren't magic - they lose energy same as everything else does.

Antonio Said:

Why aren't technical schools teaching solar technology along with other trades?

We Answered:

We are a gasoline based economy. The funding is not made available for solar programs at State Universities. You can study geology and everything related to oil exploration, because the government has made the funding of these programs in public universities available. When our government gets different leadership with an eye for the urgency of the need for developing this technology , things will turn around.

Meanwhile you can study solar technology at Oxford, England, and in Japan at most universities, and in Germany at most engineering universities...

Solar technology us usually taught as part of an aerospace engineering program.

Maybe you will be the one to make a change!
