Photo-voltaic
commonly called solar cells
Solar power
(also known as solar energy)is the technology of
obtaining usable energy
from the light of the sun.
Solar energy has been used
in many traditional
technologies for centuries.
The name derives from the
Greek word 'phot' what means light and
from the unit for electrical current volt
which was named after the Italian Alessandro Volta.
Light to electricity = photovoltaic

Sunlight is Earth's primary source of energy.
The solar constant is the amount of power
that the Sun deposits per unit area
that is directly exposed to sunlight.
The solar constant is ~1,370 watts per square meter
or ~1273 watts per 10 square feet
Bear Springs Blossom
Nature Conservation
is using Solar energy in different ways.
YOU can do that too!
Use the power of the sun:
A) to produce electricity with our windmill
B) to produce electricity with Photovoltaic systems.
C) to warm up our water
We give information
on all RENEWABLE ENERGY sources.
We can give you advice
* what prices to expect, *
what system would fit to your needs ..
When the sun shines on photovoltaic cells
they produce DC direct current electricity
of about 0.5 volts on each cell.
Adding up many solar cells you can produce
any Volt amount of solar electricity.
Use free energy from the sun:
Heat (hot water, building heat, cooking)Electricity generation (photo voltaic, heat engines)
Desalination of seawater.
Solar design in architecture
Solar heating systems
Solar cooking
Solar lighting
Photo voltaic
Solar thermal electric power plants
Concentrating collector with steam engine
Concentrating collector with Stirling engine
Solar updraft tower
Energy tower
Solar pond
Solar powered car
