Solar Energy – A Bright Idea!

“I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait ‘til oil and coal run out before we tackle that.”

- Thomas Edison

Benefits of Solar Cooking• Consumes no fuels/wood

– No loss of trees & habitat– Trees sequester carbon

• Generates no air pollution• Generates no greenhouse

gases• Produces no smoke

– Cooking smoke kills over 1.6 million people each year, mostly women & children, according to a recent report

• Eliminates fire dangers

More Benefits of Solar Cooking

• Eliminates work– No daily search for

firewood• 2 Billion people rely on

wood for cooking fuel!

– No risks to women and children

– Frees time for other activities

– No need to stir food– Helps to liberate women

More Benefits of Solar Cooking

• Cooks foods slowly and thoroughly

• Preserves nutrients • Foods will not burn• Pots are easy to clean;

less clean water is needed

• Use for canning vegetables

• Use for dried fruit• Kill insects in dry grains

Solar CookingHow Long Does it Take?

• Vegetables: 1.5 hrs• Rice/wheat: 1.5-2 hrs• Beans: 2-3 hrs• Meats: 1-3 hrs• Bread: 1-1.5 hrs

Solar Water Heating

• Solar water heating is the most efficient and economical use of solar energy

• Residential systems start at $2500 and typically cost $3500-$4500 installed

• Savings of $30-$75 per month, lasting 20 years

• Tax credits and state rebates available

• Photovoltaic (PV) systems convert light energy directly into electricity.

• Commonly known as “solar cells.” • The simplest systems power the small

calculators we use every day. More complicated systems will provide a large portion of the electricity in the near future.

• PV represents one of the most promising means of maintaining our energy intensive standard of living while not contributing to global warming and pollution.

Solar Electric Systems

How Does it Work?• Sunlight is composed of photons, or bundles of radiant

energy. When photons strike a PV cell, they may be reflected or absorbed (transmitted through the cell). Only the absorbed photons generate electricity. When the photons are absorbed, the energy of the photons is transferred to electrons in the atoms of the solar cell.

ROXBORO, N.C. – A five-acre solar farm built by Durham-based Carolina Solar Energy in Person County is now online and feeding power to the grid of Progress Energy.The complex is expected to produce 837,000 kilowatt-hours of energy in the first year, enough for some 60 households based on an average annual usage of 14,000 kilowatt hours.Progress Energy is buying the power from Carolina Solar, which owns and operate the farm. The complex is located at the Person County Business and Industrial Center.Financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed.Progress Energy is acquiring power from three solar farms, including one at SAS headquarters in Cary.State law requires Progress and other utilities to begin producing power from renewable sources. Progress Energy is exploring solar, wind, biowaste and other options to produce power from renewable sources. By 2012, companies have to get 3.5 percent of all retail sales from so-called renewables. The requirement jumps to 12.5 percent by 2021.Duke Energy is also involved in numerous solar and wind projects.
