Short Term Training On Solar Energy Utilization

Short Term Training On Solar Energy Utilization - The sun is nature’s ultimate energy source. It is vast, environmentally benign and generally synchronous with both daily and seasonal energy demands in Texas. Meeting all future Texas energy demands with solar energy is technically possible, but further technology development and cost reductions are required before this immense resource will be able to provide a significant portion of Texas’ energy needs reliably and at an acceptable cost.Humankind has more experience using solar energy than any other form of energy – the resource is well understood, and conversion technologies have long and positive operational track records. Still, three main barriers prevent widespread solar energy utilization. First, while the solar resource is vast, it is not highly concentrated and, therefore, requires significant surface area to collect an appreciable amount of energy.
