Solar
We've used the Sun for drying clothes and food for thousands of years, but only recently have we been able to use it for generating power. The Sun is 150 million kilometers away, and amazingly powerful.
Just the tiny fraction of the Sun's energy that hits the Earth (around a hundredth of a millionth of a percent) is enough to meet all our power needs many times over. In fact, every minute, enough energy arrives at the Earth to meet our demands for a whole year. Harnessing this potential in a cost effective and viable manner is part of CONXCORP’s commitment to sustainable business process for sustainable technology.
There are many ways that solar energy can be used effectively. Applications of solar energy use can be grouped into three primary categories: heating/cooling, electricity production, and chemical processes.
Benefits of Solar Energy: |
|
The energy from the sun is virtually free after the initial cost has been recovered |
|
Depending on the utilization of energy, paybacks can be very short when compared to the cost of common energy sources used |
|
Solar and other renewable energy systems can be stand-alone; thereby not requiring connection to a power or natural gas grid |
|
The sun provides a virtually unlimited supply of solar energy |
|
The use of solar energy displaces conventional energy; which usually results in a proportional decrease in green house gas emissions |
