SolarCore Protecting the Environment
Electricity from the sun is a versatile technology that can be used for applications from the very small to the very large, from grid-connected systems to grid-independent systems, to hot water, space and industrial process heating, and power plants. Increasingly, in a competitive market, the U.S. electrical grid will come to rely on distributed energy resources. The modular nature of the technology enables us to construct distributed electricity-generating systems in increments as demands grow, to improve supply reliability, and to moderate distribution and transmission costs. In addition, many regions of the United States are becoming limited by transmission capacities and local emission controls, but solar electric power systems can be easily sited at the point of use with no environmental impact. And because sunlight is widely available, we can build geographically diverse solar electric systems that are less vulnerable to international energy politics, volatile fossil-fuel-based markets, and transmission failures.
Energy Conservation
Solar Energy
Measuring your carbon A carbon footprint/emission measurement would include energy related emissions from all human activities. These include the energy used to heat, light, power and refrigerate our homes and businesses and also all transport related emissions from cars, freight and distribution, etc.
By measuring the carbon footprint through carbon calculators, we can measure our individual impact on the environment.
Encourage your school or business to reduce emissions: You can extend your positive influence on global warming well beyond your home by actively encouraging other to take action. Encourage the switch to renewable energy. Successfully combating global warming requires a national transition to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass. These technologies are ready to be deployed more widely but there are regulatory barriers impeding them.
