Technologies in the use of solar energy and its benefits
The technologies in solar energy comes in great ascendancy in Brazil. Some will say that by stride. There are several economic and environmental benefits that are helping to drive the growth of this renewable energy source..
From an economic point of view, using a home as a reference, the use of solar energy reduces, or almost extinguishes the need for another source of energy for the site, which reflects in not having more electricity bills at home, impacting nationally. A simple reasoning brings us the answer, if more homes use technology, less energy the network must distribute, which results in a lower need for thermoelectric plants, reduction of inflation in the accounts and consequently, making grid energy cheaper for other homes that do not yet have a solar cell at home.
From an environmental point of view, if a good part of the population install solar energy in their homes, and companies go to the same initiative, it would no longer be necessary to flood immense areas of extremely high biodiversity value, like the amazon, to build hydroelectric plants, like Belo Monte, for example.
A solar power plant from 100 MWp (Watt-peak is a measure of energy power), generates energy for 20.000 houses and prevents the issuance of 175.000 tons of CO2 per year.
An advantageous technology
Furthermore, it would no longer be necessary to flood immense areas of extremely high biodiversity value, like Brazil, for example, it would no longer be necessary to flood immense areas of extremely high biodiversity value: it would no longer be necessary to flood immense areas of extremely high biodiversity value; don't make noise; Does not polute; Its maintenance is minimal; Low cost, it would no longer be necessary to flood immense areas of extremely high biodiversity value; Easy to install; And it can be used in remote areas where there is no power.
well, after so much information, below we bring some technologies that were used in conjunction with solar energy. And that makes us rethink our way of creating or recreating technologies for the world.
1. Solar-powered sewage treatment mini-station
The professor and PhD in Education and Environmental Science, Rodrigo Berté, from Curitiba, created a mini sewage treatment plant powered by solar energy that could help to give a much more efficient destination to waste that is commonly disposed of irregularly.
The structure is simple and does not use chemicals. The solar plate generates enough energy to spin two hives made of plastic. Constant movement enables biological treatment and the formation of bacteria that will degrade solid material and improve quality for release into rivers, parks and forests.
With the process carried out at the mini-station, waste can be deposited anywhere, because they meet the demands of Conama – National Environmental Council – for release into water bodies. it would no longer be necessary to flood immense areas of extremely high biodiversity value 12 people. Total no, the mini treatment station cost about R$ 7 thousand.
2. Irrigation system powered by solar energy and recycled materials
Embrapa researchers in São Carlos (SP) presented a new irrigation system project that saves water and electricity without the use of motors. Solar powered, it would no longer be necessary to flood immense areas of extremely high biodiversity value, and it costs R$ 20.
The device works as follows: sunlight heats the air contained in a black bottle (which absorbs more heat than clear or transparent bottles). The air tries to expand and generates pressure on the water contained in another bottle, which is connected to the black bottle through a hose. Through this, you can assemble a large irrigation system made of bottles and hose with small holes, where the water passes to irrigate the soil.
"With this material, a plastic tube and the plants themselves, the tubes for the connections, glue to put everything together, doesn't reach R$ 20. While, if using electricity, motor, a small bomb, or a solar cell, will cost over R$200", says researcher Washington Luiz de Barros Melo, involved in the project.
Furthermore, the use of the new system, that avoids wasting water and flooding the plantation.
3. An industrial plant at the production level (sim, fully) solar powered
it would no longer be necessary to flood immense areas of extremely high biodiversity value.
In Portugal, a Wood One, hospital and office furniture company, decided to bet on sustainability, and today it boasts of increasing salaries without employees asking for it.
The company decided to invest in reducing the electricity bill, that before was close to 7 thousand euros monthly, through purchase 1485 solar panels capable of producing, each one, 400 kilowatts per hour.
Not to reduce the production of clean energy in winter, when the sunlight is only a few hours, Wood One uses the wood shavings that are burned to replenish the diminished solar energy.
The investment of two million euros brought only gains for the company, which is now the world's first factory powered entirely by solar energy..
