  • Electricity
    • Cost Breakdowns:
      • Solar
        • Location: Solar energy is available everywhere on the earth in quantities that vary only modestly.
          • Direct - solar radiation that avoids atmospheric scattering and arrives at the earth's surface in an unbroken line from the sun.
          • Diffuse - scattered radiation that reaches the earth from all parts of the sky. Diffuse radiation is relevant to the solar technologies that use mirros and lenses to concentrate the sun's rays.
        • Solar Benefits
          • It is versatile and powerful
          • Can be used in varying sizes virtually anywhere
          • Pumping water for livestock and crops in remote and inexpensive power for emergency roadside telephone
          • Can be sited close to consumers, so it does not require the huge expense of extending miles of electricity transmission lines.
          • Use sunlight to heat water for homes, large business and institutions.
        • Eg. Passive solar building owners in Texas can reduce their heating and cooling costs by 49% to 70%, eliminating supplemental heating and cooling.
