High Energy Prices have Consumers turn to Solar Power for a More Efficent way to Light their Lives

Solar Power is the new revolution. It is the future of energy. Just as the car revolutionized life at the turn of the century and TV changed the world in the 1950s, solar is quietly conquering the global energy market. The emerging space program in the 1950s led to the development of photovoltaic cells, and by 1958, a small silicon array was used to supply electrical power to a U.S. satellite. This same technology can now power your home or business. We are now seeing the very beginning of the birth of a new industry and the trickle is turning into a tidal wave.

PHYSICS TODAY magazine reveals that the solar energy that strikes the earth’s surface for one hour is enough to supply the world’s electricity need for one full year.

The Voice of America talks about solar, saying, “The increasing high prices for oil and gas as well as concerns about global warming are driving the rapid growth…” We’re now looking at the possibility of $100 a barrel oil. And the market for energy couldn’t be bigger. TIME magazine says, “Global energy demand is expected to triple…”

Solar power is the result of converting energy from the sun into electrical power in the Photovoltaic (PV) cells found in a solar panel. This source of power is extremely reliable and best of all, it’s a dream come true - they’re pollution free. Unlike choking, cancer-causing fossil fuels that create acid rain and global warming, solar is a cost-effective alternative.

The exciting part of this technology is the conversion rate. The idea is to convert the greatest percentatge of a month’s worth of sunlight heating your solar cells into electrical power. Most solar cells are able to convert just under 20% to electricity. That may sound low, but it’s not. It’s enough to generate a great deal of electricity.
