Most applications that use PV (photovoltaic) modules are still small scale, except for certain experimental stations trying to generate power at the level of utility companies. Still, everything from lawn lights to full power supply systems for homes are available. But there’s another way of [...]]]> http://freedomharbor.com/energy/solar-power-solar-electricity-generation-by-water/feed/ 0 http://freedomharbor.com/energy/solar-power-solar-water-treatment/ http://freedomharbor.com/energy/solar-power-solar-water-treatment/#comments Thu, 03 Jun 2010 03:15:19 +0000 xearther http://freedomharbor.com/?p=401 Using the energy from the sun to generate electricity gets a lot of press. But there are many other applications for solar power. One of the most important is for treating water. Many countries around the world have impure water that causes diarrhea, typhus and other medical problems. The same is true of certain areas of [...]]]> http://freedomharbor.com/energy/solar-power-solar-water-treatment/feed/ 0 http://freedomharbor.com/energy/solar-power-what-is-solar-power/ http://freedomharbor.com/energy/solar-power-what-is-solar-power/#comments Tue, 25 May 2010 13:06:34 +0000 xearther http://freedomharbor.com/?p=386 Human use of the sun’s energy may seem like a recent phenomenon. But, apart from the fact the sun provides the energy for plants to grow and feed us, solar energy has been in use in various technological forms for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks knew how to harness steam power, some of it generated [...]]]> http://freedomharbor.com/energy/solar-power-what-is-solar-power/feed/ 0 http://freedomharbor.com/energy/nanosolar/ http://freedomharbor.com/energy/nanosolar/#comments Mon, 11 Jan 2010 17:32:54 +0000 xearther http://freedomharbor.com/?p=234 Nanosolar is a leader in solar power innovation, setting the standard for the delivery of cost efficient solar cell technology. Their first product, the Nanosolar Utility Panel, enables unprecedented system economics for utility-scale power plants. Their second product, the Nanosolar SolarPly, is a light-weight solar-electric cell foil which can be cut to any size. Non-fragile.
