You may have Solar panels installed or maybe not but using electricity efficiently is a matter of valuing the resource. The electricity for so many years was supplied from the grid. Now that you have a solar panel in your house that is less expensive than the grid, you should use as much solar power…
The popularity of solar panels has increased over the last decade in an attempt to lead society towards green energy. The solar panel has many advantages that the few issues seem significantly minor. One such issue is that the birds find the warm solar panels very comfortable, mostly Pigeons. Unless you bird proof or more…

Nuclear Power Statistics According to the latest data of 2020, 440 nuclear power reactors are operable around the world. The combined capacity of electricity generation from these reactors is 390 GW. In addition to that, 55 nuclear reactors are under construction with 109 reactors planned for installation. Moreover, 329 nuclear reactors are under the proposition….
With the increase in global warming and running out of non-renewable resources, Wind Power is a major source of energy used to resolve all issues. The kinetic energy of wind is harnessed and transformed into electricity with the mechanism of the wind turbine. However, the speed required for the process is on average 25 km/h….
Statistical Data of Solar Power Solar energy we all are well aware is an inexhaustible source of energy. The natural sunlight is harnessed to produce electricity with the help of Solar Panels. The Earth surface receives 174 PW (petawatts), i.e., 173,000 terawatts of solar energy. Out of which, approximately 30% is reflected back while the…

Nuclear Fission vs. Nuclear Fusion The first Nuclear reactor, the Chicago Pile-1, was built by Enrico Fermi, in the year 1940. About 10% of electricity around the world is produced from 440 power reactors. As of 2018, Nuclear power is the second-largest source of low-carbon power, with 29% in total. From 2018 to 2019,…
Wind energy is one of the renewable energy as well as the cleanest form of energy. A wind power turbine is one such device that uses wind energy and changes it into electricity. A wind turbine has blades that use the kinetic flow of wind and turn it into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is…
As of 2019, more than two million Solar Panels are installed in the US. As well as 6% of US homeowners have Solar Panels in their homes. The term Solar Panel is used to imply a Photovoltaic module. A PV module is a composite of photovoltaic cells. These PV cells are placed between two semiconducting…
Non-renewable energy is produced from sources that do not replenish as fast as it is used. These resources are decreasing rapidly and will run out in the future. Most non-renewable energy is from fossil fuels. Hundreds of millions of years ago, after plants and animals died they buried deep into the soil. The energy from…
