Hydrogen fuel cells use liquid hydrogen to power the vehicle. The hydrogen that powered the Hindenburg was probably responsible for the disaster. But hydrogen is safe for land-based vehicles. Is hydrogen the answer to our energy needs? This article explores the science behind hydrogen fuel cells and whether they are a viable alternative to fossil […]
Hydrogen fuel cells could one day be a viable alternative for conventional gasoline and diesel cars. When evaluating hydrogen fuel cells technology, there are several key factors to consider, including the high price of the technology, the threat from electric cars, as well as the barriers to commercial deployment. This article also examines the potential […]
Geothermal energy, a renewable resource, produces heat and electricity. It is used in over 80 countries. There are many different ways to harness geothermal energy. We will be discussing how this energy source works, and the various methods to harness it. Geothermal power is not only for power, but it also provides heat and cooling. […]
You might be wondering how to stop solar panels from catching on fire if you have them. To ensure their safety, it’s important that you follow the correct installation and maintenance practices. Here are some ways to avoid solar panel fires. Hot spots in the electrical system can be exposed, or if an arc exists […]
Heating systems are essential in winter. Heating systems are essential for warmth and comfort. However, they can be expensive to maintain, especially during the winter months. These costs can be reduced by using solar energy for domestic hot water and space heating. Most electrical engineers recommend setting a grid-tied, solar power system to ensure maximum […]
One of most frequently asked questions regarding solar power is whether or not solar panels can be used to power a whole house. While they can provide juice to a whole house, conventional solar panels can be unwieldy, flat, and glare-inducing. Here are some things to keep in mind when you consider installing a system […]
Using a hose to clean solar panels can be a great way to keep them looking clean. However, it is important to avoid using mineral-rich water at high pressure. There are other safety precautions to be aware of when you use a gardenhose to clean solar panels. Avoid high-pressure hose Avoid using a high pressure […]
The first question is: Can solar panels be recycled? The type of solar panel and metal used to make it will determine the answer. For instance, solar panels made from crystalline silicon are recyclable. Both aluminum and copper panels are also recyclable. The solar panels cannot be recycled if they are made of a single […]
Solar panels can produce less energy when they are heated. The heat causes electrons to be excited and makes them less efficient in capturing photon energy. This means that solar panels’ efficiency can be slashed by as much as 10% due to high heat. The good news is that you can reduce the heat from […]
When it comes to heating your home, you have many options. The most efficient systems work with electricity, but you can also use natural gas to heat your home. Learn about Geothermal heat pumps and oil furnaces. Natural gas is a great choice if you want to reduce your monthly bills. Geothermal heat pump Geothermal […]
