Solar hot water systems and solar attic fans

With energy consumption rising, the generation and use of solar energy is increasing in professional, commercial and household purpose. Solar hot water systems and solar attic fans are good examples of using solar energy in everyday life. Several innovations and mature renewable energy technologies have been well established for many years. The equipments using solar energy are eco-friendly and less energy consuming at the same time.

Solar hot water systems are designed in such a fashion that it can deliver hot water for most of the year. The systems can be either active or passive. Where an active system uses an electric pump for circulating the heat-transfer fluid, a passive system runs without a pump. However, the modern active solar water systems use electronic controllers. On the other hand, some active systems obtained energy using a small photovoltaic (PV) panel.

A solar attic fan is generally powered by solar panels either mounted on the device installed independently. The attic fans are very useful as it reduces the temperature of attic, save stress on cooling system, conserves power. The solar fans driven by electrical means could pull air from the residence to the attic. The whole house can be kept cool by installing the solar fan in the attic. It creates draws in hot air and pushes it out. Moreover, it provides good circulation of air when cool outside air is drawn into the house.

The most advantageous thing about solar fan is it is more environmentally friendly than conventional ceiling or desk fans. However, though the initial installation of the fan may be costly, it is cost effective and energy saving in the long run. As the solar attic fans do not require electricity, there is need for power cords needed instilling them and the thus it is much less prone to accidents.

Zenn Solar assisting you procure your solar thermal systems

Over the last decade, the appeal of sustainable energy has grown exponentially. As the growing solar market emerged – companies flooded the PV scene in search of the one goal: to offer quality products that will lower utility costs. Every company hopes to offer their clients the guarantee of a shorter payback period. However, the reality is that costs per watt have continued drop and production costs for PV panels have remained stagnant.
When it comes to going solar, there is no right or wrong choice – but now more than ever, is the time for people to start looking into solar systems that cost less and provide a shorter payback. Solar thermal is, in almost all cases, the lesser expensive form of solar and will help a  Solar hot water systems are the first step to harnessing this energy. Solar energy is collected through daylight hours and transferred as heat to a hot water cylinder. This process requires no additional power. During the day, the solar collectors are always on.
Due to being passive, solar hot water systems are low maintenance, with yearly checks being more than sufficient. Most suppliers will offer a regular annual service to ensure there are no faults.
People often look at heating systems primarily to be used for home heating during winter months, and base their plans around this. However, across most of England, home heating is only required for 4 to 5 months of the year, whereas hot water is required daily.
The differences in efficiency for standard heating systems are mainly due to improved thermostat controls and insulating methods. Simply put, regardless of the system, it still costs energy and money to heat things up. Solar hot water systems get their energy for free, making them automatically better value for money.
With a little more thought to the heating requirements of a home, solar hot water heating systems become much more attractive.

PV systems made easily available by Zenn.

Photovoltaic (PV) is a process of generating electrical power by changing solar radiation into direct current electricity using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaic power generation employs solar panels composed of a number of cells containing a photovoltaic material. Materials presently used for photovoltaic include monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, and copper indium serenade/sulfide. Due to the growing demand for renewable energy sources, the manufacturing of solar cells and photovoltaic arrays has advanced considerably in recent years.

A photovoltaic system (or PV system) is a system which uses one or more solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity. It consists of multiple components, including the photovoltaic modules, mechanical and electrical connections and mountings and means of regulating and/or modifying the electrical output.

Driven by advances in technology and increases in manufacturing scale and sophistication, the cost of photovoltaic has declined steadily since the first solar cells were manufactured. Net metering and financial incentives, such as preferential feed-in tariffs for solar-generated electricity; have supported solar PV installations in many countries.

In Australia, renewable energy represents 5.2% of the total energy consumption, but only 1.7% of total production, the other phenomena being the result of significant non-renewable energy exports. In the five years to 2009 renewable energy consumption grew by 3.5%, faster than other energy sources. Of all renewable energy sources, hydro represents 63.4%, wind 22.9%, bio energy 11.5%, solar photovoltaic 2.1%, while other sources such as wave and tidal, solar thermal, and geothermal combine to about 0.042%. Note that these figures exclude a significant amount of energy saved through use of solar water heating units as they do not actually produce electricity; this is calculated separately to be 7.4% of clean energy production. Biogas had the fastest rate of growth in 2008-09 with around 33%, followed by solar and wind with 6.5%.

Australia has the potential for vast renewable energy capabilities. However this is not yet fully realized and the country's abundant resources are currently under utilized. The significant deployment of these technologies would substantially mitigate Australia's greenhouse gas emissions, as electricity generation accounts for the majority of the country's carbon emissions. Solar and wind energy sources are being harnessed on a comparatively small scale, and are at the stage of commercialization. Other sources are being investigated and considered, such as geothermal and wave power.

In 2010, The Australian Government introduced the Large-Scale Generation Target of 41,000 gig watt-hours of renewable generation from power stations, along side the Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme, an uncapped scheme to support rooftop solar power and solar hot water, to ensure that renewable energy share of 20% of electricity supply by 2020. Several State governments also provide feed-in tariffs to encourage photovoltaic. Survey results suggest that there is considerable public support for the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency in Australia.
