PowerSat Makes Space Solar a Reality
A number of companies and research teams are developing on the possibility of harnessing the sun’s energy from space. One of these companies is PowerSat. PowerSat has filed provisional patents for two technologies which the company claims will help make space solar power less expensive. The company has about $3 to $5 million to be [...]
Concentrating Solar Power for Stronger Energy
When people talk about solar power, they usually are referring to the photovoltaic type. But there’s another type of solar power and it’s starting to gain some ground over its photovoltaic power. This is concentrated solar power, or CSP solar energy, which is the solar energy that’s generated when one concentrates sunlight onto a small [...]

Installation and Maintenance of Solar Pool Heaters
As covered in our last post, the installation of a solar pool heater depends on various factors, such as the climate of an area, the area’s solar resource, safety issues, and local building code requirements. You might have to look for a certified solar heater contractor to install your pool heating system. Such a contractor [...]
Choosing the Right Solar Pool Heater
There are many solar pool heater kits available in the market these days. These cost between $3,000 to $4,000 for the materials and labor. In terms of recouping your initial investment, you could probably get your money’s worth in energy savings, within two to seven years. This all depends on the fuel costs in your [...]
