How Does Solar Panel Work?
Have you ever wondered how solar panel works? Indeed, it can really be amazing just to think how a gadget that you installed on top of your roof can work to produce electrical power in order to run the home appliances and equipment that you have in your home or office. While you might not give any serious thought about the mechanics that goes with the operation of solar home panels, it is certainly worth knowing it especially if you realize that its use can be very helpful in the preservation of the cleanliness of our environment.
How does solar panel work, really?
For those who want to know how solar panel works, actually these gadgets such as solar electric panels produce sun power, which is also known as photovoltaic power or PV. Basically, PV cells are made out of silicon materials. Such materials in turn are made of sand that is manufactured into big computer chips. These chips are made to work as semiconductors.
The rays of the sun are absorbed by the photovoltaic panels, and into a PN junction wherein which the sun energy is transformed into electric power. This PN junction is actually where negative and positive forces work to create the electric field.
Once the much needed power is created by the solar electric panels, the power is transported into electrical wiring around the house. Actually, the electricity is originally a DC type, but since normally homes in the United States run on AC, all of the DC power will be transported to an inverter in order for it to be converted into AC. Thus such converted power can now provide energy to all the homes, offices and other establishments that use the PV systems.
The surplus power that solar electric panels capture is stored in big battery systems meant to collect such power. They are usually found in protected exterior areas of the homes. Also these batteries can be found in basements or any other hidden storage in the house. For those residential and business owners who have great need for electricity, there are batteries that are capable of storing power that can be used continuously for one long week, even longer.
So for those who might ask ?how does solar panel work? It can be quite tricky to know how it really works, especially for the technologically challenged individual. But as long as one is able to purchase his solar electric panels, it can be quite easy to install them on the roof, what with the instruction that accompanies the unit. But if you decide that you simply want to have an easy time, it is advisable to simply let a professional do the installing of your unit.

Solar Panels Electricity ? Immense Benefits, Goodness and Advantages
Solar panels electricity offers a number of important benefits that has already been proven to be advantageous especially when it comes to lowering down the power bills of a home owner. However, there are other non-financial benefits as well.
First of all, the environment becomes less pollution from carbon dioxide as there is no more pollutant or other forms of gas combustion which actually is experienced because of the use of conventional sources of power, such as that from local grid. Suffice it to say that the power derived from solar home panels is known to be a clean, green and natural type.
With solar panels electricity, the consumer effectively is able to cut his bill on electrical power. Such source of electricity must be preferred as we all know that it is inexpensive and needs minimal maintenance as it only use the rays of the sun as the source of energy. You need only money to purchase the gadget; after that, there is absolutely no other expenses to worry about one you have it installed and run on a daily basis. As owner, you only have to keep the panels clean and safe from harsh elements. Likewise, you have to make sure that no leaves or any other obstruction fall on the panels.
Solar panel electricity is always available even during the rainy or cloudy days as power that was collected during sunny days are stored in the solar panel batteries can be used during such inclement weather. When properly installed, the gadget is known to last for many, many years; this is the reason when one can depend on it.
Solar panels electricity is perfect for use as it is derived from the energy of the sun not like other traditional source of power. Such energy source is very reliable as they can be depended upon even by those who live in far-flung areas. Just as long as the rays of the sun are aplenty, power is always available with solar electricity panel gadgets.

Bench Building in Berea with Big Wood
The biggest challenge in building a workbench isn?t the design. It isn?t the joinery. And it isn?t even the physical labor.
It?s finding the right wood.
This May I?m teaching a class in building an 18th-century workbench at Kelly Mehler?s School of Woodworking, in Berea, Ky. The bench design uses massive timbers, similar to what Megan Fitzpatrick and I built for her bench at home. The top is only four pieces of wood, and the cool joinery ? the sliding dovetail and tenon a la Roubo ? is cut before assembly.
To get the wood we needed, my first instinct was to ask a log home supplier. Megan scored her wood from Craigslist, which was leftover scraps from a log home. I lined up a supplier this summer, but they kind of flaked on us, perhaps because this is such a small order. You read that right ? wood for about 10 benches (or so) is a small order compared to a house.
We tried two other suppliers and came up empty-handed. I was just about to start redesigning the bench to use 16/4 poplar, when Kelly had a bright idea.
?When I got off of the log home route it dawned on me to check with my local saw mill,? Kelly wrote in an e-mail. ?It was Feldman Lumber that I used for my timbers in the shop. Duh!?
Feldman had exactly what we wanted: 6" x 6" x 8' yellow pine timbers that are dry enough for bench building. Kelly just received the shipment and sent me these photos.
Now that we have the lumber in hand (thanks Kelly), the fun begins. We need to cut these to rough length for the legs and stretchers so they will dry out quickly between now and May.
And so we get to use a tool that is almost as exciting as using a propane torch: the chainsaw.
Be still my redneck heart.
? Christopher Schwarz
Other Workbench Resources:
? workbenchdesign.net is a great place to learn about benches and explore their forms.
? I?ve written two books on benches that you might fine useful. ?Workbenches? and ?The Workbench Design Book,? are both available in our store.

Brief Analysis of Climate Change Report
Here?s my brief analysis of and comments on the recent IPCC working group report on Mitigation of Climate Change released from Bangkok, Thailand as it relates to alternative energy.
Energy Efficient & Net Zero Energy Buildings
Energy efficiency and renewable energy are rightly held to be a key ways to reduce carbon emissions. Buildings, both residential and commercial, are a significant emitter of greenhouse gasses.
Solar hot water heating can be used to provide up to 70% of annual hot water needs for homes, it can also be used in commercial buildings that require significant hot water such as gyms and nursing homes.
Geothermal (ground source heat pumps) is a lesser known source of alternative energy which can be used to both heat and cool buildings in a highly efficient way and is suited both to residential and commercial buildings. It can also be used to provide hot water. As bore holes and/or trenches need to be dug for geothermal to be installed, it is particularly suited to new builds.
Electricity can be provided from renewable sources via the grid (e.g. wind power) or off-grid it can be generated using for example solar photovoltaic panels (PV).
The use of insulation, natural light & shade, low energy lighting, motion detection lighting etc. can further reduce energy usage.
As noted in the report appropriate building codes can minimise carbon emissions from buildings.
Alternative Energy = Energy Security
The report notes that nations seeking energy security (security of supply) can help achieve it using alternative energy. Nations lacking their own fossil fuels resources should be concerned with the negative impact reliance on fossil fuels can have on their economies. By increasing utilisation of alternative energy resources, nations can increase their energy security.
Transport Policy & Fossil Fuels Subsidies
I was disappointed by the report?s lack of vision on transport. It correctly notes that past increases in efficiency in internal combustion engine (ICE) design have been used to increase power rather than fuel efficiency meaning vehicle carbon emissions have continued to climb. This trend has even continued into hybrid vehicles with performance being favoured over fuel economy (e.g. Lexus hybrid cars). Mention was made of making increased use of biofuels, which can actually significantly increase carbon emissions (see this post on Palm Oil Biodiesel). The glaring emission, is the need for a fundamental shift from the internal combustion engine to electric vehicles. I got the impression the report in trying to build consensus was avoiding treading on any toes. Perhaps that?s why it recommended only reducing rather than eliminating the subsidisation of fossil fuels.
Research and Development + Technology Transfer
India and China will soon be at the top of the list of carbon emitting nations. The report wrongly suggests that because many new power stations are being built in developing nations, they will be using new energy efficient designs and technologies. While new power stations may be more efficient than those built decades ago, for cost reasons less efficient technology is usually used (for more details see this post on Clean Coal). The report notes there have been low levels of investment in research and development. Investment is needed now and much more should be done to aid the transfer of the most energy efficient technologies between nations.

Alternative Energy in Central America
Managua, Nicaragua
Canc�n, Mexico - With the signing of an energy partnership with Mexico, Central America is poised to see a steady supply of oil and natural gas from its northern neighbor.
Mexico's focus on hydrocarbons was clear in the plan, drafted by Mexican officials, which ranked development of alternative energy as only the seventh out of eight priorities for the region.
"Petroleum is an addiction; it's like a drug," Costa Rican President Abel Pacheco retorted during the meeting. "We have to understand that it's not going to be available forever."
Costa Rica has led the region in alternative energy, with 90 percent of its electricity from hydroelectric, geothermal and wind-powered generators, according to Carlos Manuel Rodriguez, Costa Rica's energy and environment minister.
Nicaragua and El Salvador have also been investing in alternative energy projects. El Salvador gets 50 percent of its energy from renewable energy sources, according to Ismael S�nchez, a professor of energy sciences at the Universidad Centroamericana Jose Simeon Ca�as in El Salvador.

Solar Hot Water Systems Prices ? Good Alternative to Traditional Water Heating
Definitely, solar hot water systems prices can be exorbitant, especially when it comes to the high equality and really effective heaters for waters; whether for use in daily consumption, bathing or any other residential or commercial purpose. Indeed, these days people resort to other alternative means of heating their water supply such as solar hot water system.
Time to give up the Traditional Way
Why such method and forgo the traditional way of heating water? First of all, even if the solar hot water systems prices can be expensive, it is economical in the long run as the energy that is utilized is that from the sun. On the other hand, everyday heating is done which the traditional means are used such as electricity or gas. The use of such power in order to enjoy hot water means high costs added to the monthly budget of the consumer.
Solar Hot Water Systems Prices ? High yet worth it in the Long Run
Needless to say, solar heating means of enjoying hot water is one of the most cost-effective energy systems available. What?s great about the sun power heating systems is that there is not so much maintenance needed; usually general checking should be done once or twice a year. While expensive, it does prove to be a good choice as far as efficiency in energy as well as the protection and saving of the environment is concerned.
Have a Solar Expert check your Place
Solar hot water systems prices as well as its costs to install them on one?s house actually vary; it all depends on the panels, the type of your house as well as its location. Overall the amount to be met should run to as high as 10,000 dollars. Some smaller systems can be had in a few thousand dollars and will only take not too much space on your roof top. The best thing that you can do is for a professional solar installing company to check on your home and make the appropriate assessment on which type of system is best for your hot water needs.
