A professor of chemistry and environmental sciences, Somenath Mitra, has been experimenting with solar cells made from polymers that will eventually power everything from houses and cars to lap top computers and other electronic equipment. At this time Sungate Energy Solutions can tell you that the current standard solar cell is made of silicon. The solar technology of the future will have solar cells made of coating of polymers dissolved in solvents.

Solar energy is already an inexpensive, clean and alternative source of power. Mitra is working on solar cells that will create the ability for people to have on printed material that can be placed on the roofs of cars as well as on walls and roofs of buildings. When the sunlight hits the organic cells, the energy produced will create positive and negative charges which will be separated and sent to different electrodes creating a current. The cells would be linked electronically and then form a panel. Nanotubes will conduct the electronic flow. Mitra is hoping that one day these will become simple and inexpensive sources of power. Homeowners will be able to build their own power stations with ease and simplicity.

Unfortunately, this technology is years away. Sungate Energy Solutions has the solar answer for homeowners today. It’s an easily installed system and the decrease of the size of energy bills is instant. Please visit Sungate Energy Solutions’ website for more information.

Sungate Energy Solutions has been informing homeowners of their options regarding the most popular of renewable energy used in homes today for over three decades. Solar energy has the most efficient characteristics of alternative, clean energy and a financially low cost.

A solar panel which is also known as a photovoltaic module (PV) is easily replaceable although is in use for a long time after installation. The benefit is that after ten years, should a panel need to be replaced, it’s inexpensive and doesn’t require a replacement of the whole system. The PV provides protection for the individual cells from inclement weather conditions as these panels are usually installed on roof tops. The panels come in a multitude of shapes and sizes so that most roofs can accommodate them.

Solar panels are sometimes referred to as a glass sandwich. This sandwich provides a hard structure that fits around the thirty six PV cells. The glass structure also protects the inter-cell connections from extreme weather conditions. Sungate Energy Solutions would mount the panels in the sunniest location with no shading to help the PVs collect the largest amount of power for electricity.

The sun was adored by early man and became the center of religious focus by many different kinds of faiths. The fear of being without light and warmth was universal among all societies. Light from the sun represented all things good and the absence of light formed the basis for many fundamental beliefs. Multiple structures of antiquity from temples to altars were dedicated to the golden orb.

Astronomy and astrology were studied by ancient prophets and priests. The earliest of literature is best understood with those sciences as a basic foundation of knowledge.

Sungate Energy Solutions has spent over three decades informing the modern public of solar energy and how the power of the sun offers freedoms of a more practical nature today. The current freedom that the sun’s energy can provide is freedom from fossil fuels that leave too many carbon footprints because of the world’s dependence on them. It also offers financial freedom from high energy bills that families have to give to utility companies every month to pay high prices for the use of fossil fuels to heat and cool their homes.

The sun doesn’t need to be worshipped but like solar energy; its power should be understood. Sungate Energy Solutions would like to invite you to visit them for more information as to how solar energy can change your lives.

The Department of Energy of the United States knows that the only way that Solar Energy will become the energy of choice of all Americans is for government to get behind it and sponsor research and development among the solar companies that exist today. Also, this well established department realizes that they need to help universities create and discover more accessible ways for the consumer to acquire homes, cars, and appliances like hot water heaters that run on solar. Sungate Energy Solutions is behind this concept and wants to reach as many people as possible to let them know the benefits of alternate and renewable energy such as solar energy.

There are two main objectives of the SunShot Incubator program. One is shortening the timeline for research and development organizations to come up with a full scale demonstration and prototype of solar energy products that Americans use every day from the power that heats and cools their homes to their hot water heaters and beyond. Everything can be energized by solar power doing away with the carbon footprints left from oil and coal. Fossil fuels will be the thing of the past, but we know that it has to happen soon. Companies who will create new products for American households to use along with other renewable energy sources must be accelerated from prototypes and the pilot state of development to full manufacturing on a large scale employing millions of people across the country as well as cleaning up our environment.

Sungate Energy Solutions has spent over three decades offering solar energy as a solution and alternative to fossil fuels. For more information regarding changing the energy that powers your home from fossil fuel energy to solar energy, please visit us.

Sungate Energy Solutions was very concerned about how pollution in the air can directly cause dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory diseases. Most of the particulates in the air come from the burning of fossil fuels. That is, the combustion from cars, diesel engines and industry produce the fine particles that are ruining the health of our citizens.

Sungate Energy Solutions discovered that Alzheimer’s disease, for instance, is caused by inflammations of brain cells. These inflammations are the result of small particles inhaled through the nose going directly to the brain. Also, blood vessels leading to the brain are inflamed due to air pollution and dementia may be the results of cardiovascular diseases associated with aging. Brown University researchers concluded one of their studies regarding air pollutions’ effect on cardiovascular disease. On heavily air polluted days, there was a marked increase of people diagnosed with strokes due to blocked blood vessels leading to the brain.

Sungate Energy Solutions knows that the answer is in renewable energy. Solar energy is easily installed and can reduce both your carbon footprints left from heating and cooling your homes, to also decreasing the cost of energy that is the result of fossil fuels.

What is a grid tied power system? They are systems connected to utility companies via power lines. The grid is used to supplement renewable energy sources such as solar energy as additional power should you need it.

The federal government has extended federal tax credits through the year 2017 making homeowners eligible for a tax credit equal to thirty percent of the cost of the solar system. Many states have tax incentive programs as well for homeowners who want to install solar energy systems to power their homes. Some people choose a grid tied solar system with a battery backup so when the grid goes down, you can still run your solar energy system.

Grid tie systems are simpler in concept than battery backed systems. A grid tie system is basically made up of solar modules and an inverter which turns the energy collected into 120 or 240 VAC to run AC appliances. AC means alternating current. Because today Sungate Energy Solutions can offer you sophisticated inverters, everything you need to direct current from the modules on panels to alternating current is in the system. The inverters can even track the power to determine when the peak efficiency times of energy use is as well as terminate grid connections if the utility power is interrupted.

Sungate Energy Solutions would like to invite you to visit them and look at your options for solar energy in your home.

What should your decision be based on when you want to power your home with solar energy instead of fossil fuel? Sungate Energy Solutions knows that some homeowners are dedicated to the ideal of a world without fossil fuels. Some realize that there will be a return on their investment eventually and some are interested in both reasons. That is the beauty of investing in the installation of solar energy to power your home. You can do it for both reasons and most people do make the decision based on both environmental as well as financial reasons.

The environmental factors are pretty obvious such as ridding the world of the pollutants of fossil fuel which cleans the air, our waterways and provides for a healthier future for people and wild life.

The economic factor is a little more complicated because it’s based on numerous factors. The rate of return on the initial installation costs will create a savings, but how long it takes to get even and then start making a profit is more complex. The fact is that while you will always pay for fossil fuels, solar energy to power your home is a savings you can count on every day. Fossil fuel costs are in the hands of people who profit off of increased costs of this product. The sun is non-political and the price is constant. There are tax benefits to making the change to solar energy while there are no tax benefits to the use of fossil fuel which is taxed federally and often by the states as well.

Sungate Energy Solutions would like to show you what your options are regarding solar power for your home. A knowledgeable representative is available to answer your questions so that you have a solid foundation on which your decision to switch to solar power can be made.

The Fukushima disaster of Japan has now begun to contaminate other nations. Japan is turning away from nuclear energy and is looking to renewable, sustainable energy and is finished with the possibility of nuclear disasters.

Atomic energy is going to be priced out of the market by solar alternatives. Considering nuclear waste is already hitting the United States Pacific shores, Sungate Energy Solutions is ready to help businesses and homeowners get ready for solar energy. It’s always been a great alternative to fossil fuel energy with its long term carbon footprints, but now with many nations reviewing their nuclear energy programs, solar power will be coming on in a large way.

The people are looking for clean, renewable energy sources. The switch to green energy is moving forward with renewable energy now producing more than nuclear energy in the United States. General Electric is investing a lot of capital in producing photovoltaic cells which make up solar panels by capturing the sun’s energy from its light. Now is the time to beat the wealthy opponents of solar energy and rid ourselves of oil and coal.

In depth studies of solar power investments show that investing in renewable energy is a stronger investment than in nuclear plants. Cost estimates for new nuclear reactors have soared two hundred to three hundred percent in the last few years. Cost of solar construction is being reduced continually.

Sungate Energy Solutions is always interested in new techniques of harnessing the sun’s energy. The concept of solar islands is quite interesting. A solar island is an artificial, circular, and man-made floating membrane. Solar panels are placed on these membranes to collect solar power. They are mobile and can be moved as the sun moves.

Thermal panels are placed on top of a large membrane which is able to turn to the position of the sun as it moves. They are often placed on large bodies of water. There is a high pressure steam tank that sits on top of the island. Under water pipelines conduct steam to the shore or to a waiting ship. Steam turbines generate up large amounts of electricity. Onshore, the same version of the solar island can be built about twenty meters above the ground or sea level. These usually have to be built near a large body of water or in the midst of a desert. For both types of solar islands, an over pressure system enables the floatation of these islands.

Sungate is enthusiastic about any alternative to the fossil fuel needs that are now worldwide. The concept of solar islands is a low cost concept of solar energy panels build on a very large scale.

How does a building design best take advantage of sunlight available in local climate zones?

Sungate Energy Solutions has come up with some ideas for the use of passive energy solutions for homes and buildings that are already built. Windows are important as they are the places that allow for sunlight to both brighten and heat a home or building. Windows in a standing structure can be changed to upgraded new technically sound standards with double panes of glass and proper tinting. The molding around the windows needs to be fitted properly so that outside elements are used to harness the sunlight. Super insulated windows are important in any season or climate.

Insulation of a building can keep cool air inside in the summer and outside in the winter. Landscaping and the placement of trees for shad as well as wind barrios is another form of passive solar design.

The type of window treatments are important regarding how you want to control the amount of heat and light you want in specific rooms. Retractable awnings work well in the heat of the summer. Shutters, roll down shade screens and drapes of light colors and specific fabrics are also important passive energy techniques.

On your outside walls, the kind of coating as well as color choice is important to add to whatever additional passive energy techniques you’re planning.
