Solar Panels Information
Solar Panels have the ability to meet all of our energy needs. But at present we only use a small amount of the energy that the sun has to offer.
Just
how much energy does the sun produce, how is it produced and how much of the its energy can be harvested via solar cells?
The sun's energy is caused from thermonuclear expolosions deep within the sun. These explosions fuse atoms of hydrogen into atoms of helium.
A tremendous amount of energy is released during the thermonuclear reaction and the sun releases that energy as radiation. This radiation travels through space at the speed of light, and solar panels can make practical use of it.
Our sun generates an staggering amount of energy, and, if we had the technology to harvest that sunlight with solar arrays, we could harvest huge amounts of energy.
According to scientific calculations, the figures for the amount of energy given off the sun every hour as:
"3.8 x 10^33 ergs/sec or 3.8 x 10^26 watts of power, an amount of energy each second equal to 3.8 x 10^26 joules.
In one hour, or 3600 seconds, the Sun produces 1.4 x 10^31 Joules of energy or 3.8 x 10^23 kilowatt-hours."
The sun produces more energy every hour than the entire energy needs of human civilization from the beginning of time.
Solar panels will help us harvest increasing amounts of this abundance of energy to meet our energy needs in the future.
