Tech Check
a quick overview of the technology with resources for more information

There are four types of solar energy: passive solar, solar hot water, solar thermal, and solar electric

 

Passive solar requires no special equipment like the other types of solar energy do. The purpose is to orient the windows in your home and make use of blinds to heat your home using the sun’s energy. You can also use thermal mass (concrete, brick, etc.) to absorb the heat from the sun and distribute it through the house. Passive solar can work for everyone.

 

Solar hot water functions in much the same way as geothermal systems do. However, instead of using the heat underground, you are using liquid-filled tubes to transfer the sun’s energy to your hot water tank. This can work for nearly everyone, but you will have to take your climate into consideration when choosing the type of solar hot water system to use. Solar thermal can be used for anything from radiant heated floors to heating the water in your pool. In any case, this system functions the same as solar hot water systems do.

 

Solar electric makes use of photovoltaic panels to collect energy from the sun and convert it into electricity.  "Thin film" solar is also coming to the market and uses another technology to harvest the sun's rays.  Though costs come down every year, solar-generated electricity is currently the most expensive form of solar power.  It also requires a certain amount of uninterrupted sunlight each day. You can generally get about one KW of power (panels) per 100 square feet of roof space. The following three steps can be used to figure out how large of a solar electric system you would need to take care of all of your electricity needs.

 

First, to determine the size of your system, you first determine how much energy you need on a daily basis in watt-hours (Wh). This data can be found on your electric bill on a monthly basis if you have one for your location. To estimate the energy usage on a daily basis, take your monthly estimate, which is in kilowatt-hours, multiply by 1,000 to get it in watt-hours and divide by 30.

 

Second, you need to determine the solar insolation value (the measurement for the strength of the sunlight striking the earth) for your site. Solar insolation data for all over the world and at different times of the year has been investigated and recorded. The peak, average and lowest annual solar insolation values for several different USA cities can be found here.  Choose the city closest to you in the table and that will give you a good estimate of the amount of solar insolation for your location. If you're going to be totally disconnected from the electric grid then you will need to use the minimum solar insolation value for your location. If you're going to be feeding your electricity into the electric grid then use the average solar insolation value.

 

Lastly, you need to divide your estimated daily energy usage by the solar insolation value and multiply by a system inefficiency factor: Total Watts of Solar Electric Panels Needed = [(Daily watt-hours)/(solar insolation)] x Inefficiency Factor (the inefficiency factor for systems that are disconnected from the electric grid (off-grid) is 1.3. For systems that are connected to the grid, that value is usually assumed to be 1.2).

 

You can use the National Renewable Energy Lab's PVWatts calculator to find out how solar electric panels could perform at your location.

Company Overview
Solar Installers Green Building Solutions was created with the goal of making a difference in the world.  Everything we do impacts the world.  What you do with your day makes an impact that will affect the world for thousands of years.  And it starts with the simple things.  When you decide to recycle every bit of paper that comes into your building, when you recycle every can or bottle, when you flip that light switch off every time you walk out of a room, you are impacting the world forever.  Some call this the "butterfly effect".  We call it having a vision and being responsible for our future generations.  Our goal is to help you reduce your energy cost as much as possible and turn your building into a Zero energy building.  Just imagine if every building in the world had a means of generating it's own energy needs.  We can reach this vision one building at a time.  Contact SunDirected Now, your State College solar installers.
