Solar Energy That Is About To Change The World'S Technology Innovation

Residents can enjoy solar panels free of charge. People can understand the world in real time, not in the Internet world, but in the material world for human survival; doctors can predict the invasion of a disease in advance for several years.

If all of these become reality, what will happen to the world?

Making the environment cleaner, healthier and smarter.

Residents can enjoy solar panels free of charge. People can learn everything about the world in real time - not in the Internet world, but in the material world for human survival; doctors can predict the invasion of certain diseases in advance.

If these are all realities, what changes will happen in the world? Those plans to change the world will solve the mystery for us.

A series of ideas make up a simple and ambitious picture, so that we can not predict all the effects now.

The Scientific American magazine's advisory and editorial board has selected many plans from the five major fields of energy, pportation, environment, electronics and robotics, and medical health, highlighting the infinite power of technology to change life.

Some of these plans are being implemented and others are still in the stage of scientific research pformation. There is no doubt that these innovations are the most promising tips for solving problems and solving problems for mankind.

The biggest obstacle to solar energy is capital.

In the United States, even if there is a government incentive policy, it is still expensive for residents to install solar panels on the roof to provide all the energy consumption of the houses. The cost is enough to cover the electricity charges for the next 7~10 years.

Fortunately, a financial innovation is another way for homeowners who want to save energy and reduce emissions and reduce electricity costs. First, install solar panels free of charge and then pay for them while using them.

The implementation process of the policy is similar to housing mortgage loan.

Banks or municipal bonds are paid by organizations or individuals to install solar panels, while the latter regularly repay the former investment.

As a result, the owner can directly or indirectly purchase the electricity generated by solar panels on his roof, and the cost per kilowatt hour is lower than that of the grid.

Because the new generation of solar panels is stable and of long service life, it is a safe investment for investors, and the owners also reduce their expenses, let alone experience the satisfaction of reducing carbon emissions.

Peter Reiff, one of the founders of SolarCity, said: "this will not only make it unnecessary for solar energy to save food and clothing, but also reduce users' spending from the first day." (peterrive)

This is only the beginning.

Sunshine city is the largest household solar panel handling company involved in this policy.

The company was founded in 2006 by a pair of entrepreneurs brothers. They also founded many enterprises in Silicon Valley.

Sun City rents solar panels to homeowners and provides free electricity.

The owner actually needs to pay a drastically reduced electricity charge (when the user needs a public power supply on cloudy days) plus the monthly rent of the panel.

The sum of these two costs is lower than the electricity charges before using solar energy.

The sunrun company in San Francisco also provides similar services to users. The difference is that the company charges electricity directly to users rather than the rent of solar panels.

Berkeley and boulder and other cities in the United States pioneered the financial plan to provide solar panels for individuals to purchase and install full loans.

The cost is paid in advance by municipal bonds, and then repaid by the owner within 20 years as part of the property tax.

The actual result is that users pay for the use of solar energy in the form of taxes, rents or long-term electricity contracts, which are lower than current electricity charges.

Daniel, m danielm.kammen, director of renewable and alternative energy laboratory at University of California, Berkeley, commented: "what is really commendable is that we have changed the way users think about buying energy products and services."

Carmen made a preliminary analysis of the Berkeley loan scheme. He believed that the plan would enable users to use financial power to overcome the inherent disadvantage of renewable energy compared to the use of current energy: the infrastructure of existing pmission networks has been built up, residents have been paying for this for decades, and the government has given numerous subsidies.

The above three ways are sweeping the United States.

In addition to the Berkeley financial plan that has been implemented for nearly two years, 10 other states in the United States have also introduced legislation to allow Berkeley style fund investment loan projects.

Under the impetus of the waxman-markeyclimatebill, also known as the clean energy and safety act of the United States, perhaps federal law will force this energy project to be implemented in cities.

The Edison based solar power company (SunEdison), based in Maryland, is currently doing business in 9 states of the United States.

Sunshine city has more than 4000 users in California, Arizona and Oregon, and will push business to more states in 2010.

The current level of technology is not enough to reduce the total cost of rooftop solar energy to the equivalent of traditional power grids.

That is to say, if there is no such preferential policy as investment tax relief, the cost of solar conversion projects is still higher than that of public utilities in the region.

30% of the installation cost of solar panels comes from financial subsidies, which will last for at least 8 years.

Sun City company and its competitors firmly believe that they will no longer need these subsidies by then.

Taking into account the cost of capital, the cost of panels, installation costs and the intensity of regional sunlight, Edison, vice president of solar energy company in charge of attilatoth, said: "achieving equivalence with traditional power grids depends on many factors. The time required for different states to accomplish this goal is different." (Edison)

In the next 3~5 years, California is expected to become the first state to achieve the equivalence of solar energy and power grid.

Over the past 10 years, the cost of fossil fuels has risen at an annual rate of 3%~5%. Compared with the number of solar panels used, the cost of solar panels will be reduced by about 20%.

With the increasing cost of fossil fuels and the gradual reduction of solar energy conversion costs, solar energy will be equivalent to the grid, and then solar energy will be used in more areas.

It's no wonder that Elon Mask (elonmusk), the chief executive of Tesla, who is pushing electric cars, will be a member of the board of the company.
