Solar Energy in the Canary Islands
With the massive acceptance, adoption, and utilization of solar energy among several countries across the world, even small territories such as the Canary Islands are turning towards solar energy sources for their electricity needs. Installing solar panels on buildings does not take long, and over the past decades, the Canary Islands have increased their electricity generation and, consequently, consumption via renewable energy sources.
In 2019, the Canary Islands generated about 16% of its total energy consumption from renewable energies. A year later, this grew to 17.5%, and it’s speculated to grow further in subsequent …

Solar Pool Cover Cleaning and Maintenance Guide
Solar pool covers can also be referred to as solar pool blankets. Their function is to ensure your pool water maintains a certain temperature level by preserving the heat in the pool water and heating the water if its temperature is lower than it should be. Solar pool covers are usually used for both inground and above-ground pools. They heat the pool water through the Sun’s rays. Like other equipment, if you intend to use the solar pool cover for an extended period, you should know how to maintain it to keep it in good condition and enhance its durability.
You should know some maintenance tips to make your job easier and the …

Colorado Legislators to Pass Four Emission-Cutting Bills
This year, Colorado legislators introduced four laws to assist Coloradans in reducing energy usage and using clean electricity to run their homes and buildings. This legislation indicates progress in Colorado’s ambitious aims to decrease growing emissions through lowering utility bills, reducing indoor air pollution, and generating long-term jobs in the construction industry.
In the following weeks, Governor Jared Polis is scheduled to sign SB21-246, HB21-1286, SB21-264, and HB21-1238. This bundle …

Cutting Down Carbon Emissions
Electricity production is still the single most significant source of emissions that contributes to climate change. However, minimizing emissions from the electrical industry is inadequate. Many sectors, such as road transport and household and commercial heating, must also be powered using clean energy.
The only way is to supply them with clean, renewable energy and other low-emission solutions. The task may be daunting, but if we are …

Solar Heating and Cooling
Solar heating and cooling systems absorb energy from the sun and use it to generate heat. It can be applied for domestic, commercial, and industrial purposes for boiling water, air conditioning, cooling, and bathroom heating. An SHC technology eliminates the requirement for a client to consume electricity or other natural fuel.
Many Americans are already working throughout the nation to manufacture and install SHC systems that …

Improving Water and Air Quality for Communities
Increasing temperatures will cause more rainfall to occur. They will make mountain snowpack melt sooner in the summer, diminishing the natural reserve traditionally supplied western rivers all through the dry summer months. Climate change has the potential to affect water accessibility across the country drastically. And building another additional dam is undoubtedly not the solution.

Green Photovoltaic System
Photovoltaic systems produce energy directly from the sun using an electrochemical activity that usually happens in certain materials known as semiconductors. Solar power frees electrons in these compounds, which can then be stimulated to flow through an electrical system, energizing electronic components or transmitting power to the grid system.
In a PV system, photons impact and ionize semiconductor components on the solar cell. This …
