Solar Power is gaining popularity, becoming a key source of energy, all over the world due to a number of benefits of using solar power. Solar power can be utilized using a PV system or simply through a solar pool cover, solar garden lights or as a solar oven.

There are multiple benefits of a solar system, which may even persuade you to consider using solar power in the future.

1. Environment Friendly

Solar power is a clean source of energy that releases no pollution into the air, thus helping prevent global warming and all other sorts of pollution.

A Huge, 1MW elevated grid connect solar power system for a car auction facility has recently been completed by a U.S. company, Alpha Energy, in Bordentown, NJ. The massive carport will be used by Manheim NJ Auto Auction to prepare, protect and stage vehicles for sale.

It is said to be the largest continuous solar shade structure in the United States, covering over 13,000 square meters, almost the size of three American NFL football fields.

The system consists of 5,880 170W solar panels that are tied in to an electricity meter via 11 separate inverters; making sure that even if a single array is taken offline, 90% of the system will still work, producing electricity.

Yesterday a new power plant has been opened in Norway, which is the world’s first osmotic power plant. The plant utilizes the energy released when fresh water and seawater are mixed to produce clean electricity.

Norwegian firm Statkraft has been researching about the osmotic power for 10 years. It is a renewable and emissions-free energy source, and through the progress of the power plant, the company aims to make a substantial global contribution to eco-friendly power production.

An international group of scientists have revealed that the annual rate of increase in carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels has more than tripled in this decade, as compared to the 1990s.

Furthermore, they have claimed that the Earth’s future is quite dark unless the CO₂ emissions are reduced considerably.

The Global Carbon Project report stated that the CO₂ emissions have risen at a rate of 3.4% per year from 2000 to 2008, in comparison to 1% that occurred each year in the previous decade.

According to recent research, a little quantity of Hydrogen has resulted in an enhancement of fuel efficiency and effectiveness and lessens toxic emissions.

Hydrogen/Oxygen or Hydroxy Gas or electrolysis gas generated acts like a catalysts to the fuel. Consuming oxy-hydrogen gas to increase a fossil fuel with a complete burn of all the hydrocarbons, make a mean to cleaner emission. Hydro-boosters will operate with any ICE engine and diesel as well.

The depletion of natural resources and their high prices has forced everyone to look for other alternatives to run cars and other electronic devices. This change of thought has made way to the invention of a new car that can make its own fuel, by an Israeli company. This car uses a unique system that can produce hydrogen inside the car using common metals such as magnesium and aluminum.

This system solves all the problems associated with the manufacturing, transporting and storing of hydrogen to be used in cars. The main advantage of this system is that when it becomes commercial in a few years time, the cars having this system embedded will cost around the same as the cars used today and moreover they will be totally emission free.
