	SOLAR POWER
		Solar design is the use of architectural features to replace the use of grid electricity and fossil fuels with the use of solar energy and decrease the energy needed in a home or building with insulation and efficient lighting and appliances.
		Solar heating systems are generally composed of solar thermal collectors, a fluid system to move the heat from the collector to its point of usage, and a reservoir to stock the heat for subsequent use.
		Solar cells, also referred to as photovoltaic cells, are devices or banks of devices that use the photovoltaic effect of semiconductors to generate electricity directly from sunlight.

	Solar One - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Solar One is a pilot solar-thermal project in the Mojave Desert near Barstow, California.
		Solar One was the first test of a large scale thermal solar power tower, power plant.
		Solar Two was decommissioned in 1999, and was converted by the University of California, Davis, into an Air Cherenkov Telescope in 2001, measuring gamma rays hitting the atmosphere.

		Solar photovoltaic devices are made of various semiconductor materials including silicon, cadmium sulfide, cadmium telluride, and gallium arsenide, and in single crystalline, multicrystalline, or amorphous forms.
		Solar Constant — The average amount of solar radiation that reaches the earth's upper atmosphere on a surface perpendicular to the sun's rays; equal to 1353 Watts per square meter or 492 Btu per square foot.
		Solar Resource — The amount of solar insolation a site receives, usually measured in kWh/m2/day, which is equivalent to the number of peak sun hours.

		Most frequently used are flat-plate collectors consisting of an absorber where the solar radiation is transferred to heat in the solar collector fluid, insulation along the edge and under the absorber a case that holds everything together, and allows the necessary ventilation and a glass or plastic cover.
		During this period, when the solar control senses that adequate heat is present in the solar collectors, it causes a motorized diverting valve to turn, forcing the flow of pool water through the solar collectors, where water is heated.
		Basic problem with solar energy is related to the fact that most of the energy is needed during the winter when solar insolation is the lowest and on the other side much of summer potential output can not be used because the demand is mostly not there.

	In India, rural women use of solar cookers -- ONE COUNTRY 14.3 October-December 2002
		Solar cooking, they say, means no longer doing things like scrubbing fire-flened pots, searching for firewood, or worrying about children getting burned by the traditional cook fire.
		The effort to promote solar energy is instructive of the approach taken by the Institute, which brings women from the western districts of Madhya Pradesh for training on its 5-acre campus in Indore and also has an extensive outreach program into the surrounding districts.
		Solar energy use is not the only element of environmental conservation that is taught at the Institute.

	ESA - Space Science - Solar Orbiter
		Solar Orbiter is intended to brave the fierce heat and carry its telescopes to just one-fifth of Earth's distance from the Sun, where sunlight will be 25 times more intense than we feel it.
		One package consists of detectors for observing particles and events in the immediate vicinity of the spacecraft: the charged particles and magnetic fields of the solar wind, radio, and magnetic waves in the solar wind, energetic charged particles and neutrons flung out by the Sun, and neutral atoms and dust grains drifting in interplanetary space.
		Solar power would be used whereby 45 solar radii would be the closest possible orbit due to the heat limits on the solar panels.

	Solar Storms
		When the solar wind hits the Earth's magnetic field, electrons and protons inside the field are accelerated into currents that flow along the gossamer-thin magnetic field lines and converge on the polar regions.
		Since the last solar maximum in 1990, hundreds of millions of people have come to depend on flawless, reliable work by an armada of satellites worth tens of billions of dollars.
		But when an event such as a solar flare bombards Earth with an abnormal amount of particles, previously trapped particles in distant parts of the geomagnetic field are accelerated.

	Energy Resources: Solar power
		As the Sun moves across the sky, the mirrors turn to keep the rays focussed on the tower, where oil is heated to 3,000 degress Celsius, The heat from the oil is used to generate steam, which then drives a turbine, which in turn drives a generator capable of providing 10kW of electrical power.
		Solar One was very expensive to build, but as fossil fuels run out and become more expensive, solar power stations may become a better option.
		Solar cells cost a great deal compared to the amount of electricity they'll produce in their lifetime.

	NASA - Tuesday/Wednesday Solar Punch
		The also-powerful CME, which solar scientists think was accelerated by the eruption of the flare, is headed toward us at 2,000 kilometers per second (1,250 miles per second), nearly five times faster than a normal CME, says Bernhard Fleck, ESA SOHO Project Scientist.
		SOHO is the SOlar and Heliospheric Observatory satellite, a joint NASA/ESA mission, one instrument with which scientists observed this event.
		The strongest flare of this solar cycle, in April 2000, a category X20 flare, was not directed at Earth.

		This image of the solar corona was acquired on 23 December 1996 at 04:44 UT by the LASCO instrument on the SOHO spacecraft.
		Thhe LASCO instrument is a set of three coronagraphs that image the solar corona from 1.1 to 32 solar radii.
		A coronagraph is a telescope that is designed to block light coming from the solar disk, in order to see the extremely faint emission from the region around the sun, called the corona.

	Solar heating of swimming pools
		Solar pool heating is one of the most economically attractive solar technologies in Florida today.
		In some retrofit applications, a larger pump may be required to handle the needs of the solar system, or a small pump may be added to boost the pool water up to the solar collectors.
		When adequate sunshine is available, the filtered pool water is circulated through the solar collectors, where it is heated by solar radiation and then returned to the pool.

	Solar and Lunar Calendars: 360-days in a year (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Nevertheless, the solar has the driving lead, since all other calendars in one way or another find their bearing and orientation by it.
		Hence there are four radically different calendars; the major adjusted ones being led by the solar, and the minor unadjusted solar, lunar, and prophetic.
		For this reason, "The Writing on the Wall" clings mostly to the simple solar (and adjusted calendars); it is territory with which we are all familiar, (or can be familiarized with), and so can more easily be grasped.

	A New Chapter Begins for Concentrated Solar Power
		Called Nevada Solar One, the 64 MW commercial-scale solar energy plant will encompass 350 square acres, a nearly endless sea of mirrored troughs that will concentrate the strong desert sunlight and convert it into 750-degree F thermal energy, which can then be used to create steam for electrical power generation.
		In its first large-scale solar thermal contract, Schott is providing more than 19,000 of their latest vacuum tube steel and glass receivers, which in many ways can be considered the heart of the project.
		On a broader scale, Nevada Solar One reflects a symbolic rekindling of this technology approach, one that many experts say is particularly well-suited for areas like the American Southwest where sunlight is abundant but energy is precious and increasingly strained by population growth.

	CNN.com - Sun delivers yet another shot at Earth - Oct. 29, 2003
		But late Wednesday, solar scientists observed another big solar explosion, one of the top 20 on record, which directed another huge cloud of supercharged gas in our direction.
		Solar flares are often associated with coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, like the one that arrived Wednesday.
		When high-energy solar winds from a CME interact with the magnetosphere and generate a geomagnetic storm, they can boost the northern and southern lights considerably, pushing them from the polar regions to the middle latitudes.
