General Security Recommendations

Look:

• Cultivate a 'sixth sense' about your neighborhood; know what is normal; 
• Anytime you leave your home or office, look up and down the street for any suspicious cars, vans, or utility vehicles;
• Note people near your home who appear to be repairmen, utility crew teams, peddlers;
• Remain alert while driving;
• Know your "choke points" on your routes – those bottleneck spots you must traverse. Heighten your awareness of other vehicles, vans, motorcycles as you enter such choke points;
• Determine if a pattern is developing with specific cars/motorcycles behind or near you.

Be suspicious of:

• People watching for extended periods of time from street level, buildings, or cars;
• Broken down vehicles - watch the person’s actions;
• Work crews - do they belong there?
• Individuals taking notes or photos;
• People who leave the area when you do;
• Cars parked in the same place for extended periods of time with occupants in the front seat;
• Cars or motorcycles that suddenly pull out of parking places or side streets when you pass them;
• Vehicles driving too fast or too slow, making erratic moves or abrupt stops;
• Vehicles that stop or start as you do.

Be unpredictable:

• Determine all routes available to and from work;
• Vary your route;
• Change departure times frequently (at least one- hour window);
• If possible, frequently change vehicles ;
• Stagger professional and social activities (don’t play tennis every Wednesday at 3).

Other helpful security recommendations:

• Search the exterior and interior of your vehicle.
• Look around and under the car for obvious devices, packages, bits of tape, wire, string, safety pins, clumps of dirt, footprints and other indications of tampering;
• Look inside the vehicle through the windows;
• Look for signs of forced entry around the doors, hood, windows and trunk ( a dirty car reveals fingerprints);
• Look inside the exhaust pipe – invest in a blocking pin;
• Check the gas cap for signs of tampering – look inside the neck of the gas tank;
• Look around, on top of and under the tires – don’t forget the hubcaps;
• Check the driver/passenger compartment; always start with the floor and under the seat, then work up;
• Look for devices and wires attached to doors or wedged between the door and seat;
• Check door panels for signs of tampering;
• Look under seats, dashboard, floor mats and headrests;
• Check the ashtrays, speakers, cigarette lighter, vanity and dome lights;
• Check the sunvisor and glove compartment;

Solar power to light the way for Africa as low-carbon campaign launches, Former UN chief Kofi Annan hails Energy Africa scheme as chance for continent to steer away from carbon-intensive practices of rich countries, Kofi Annan, Bob Geldof, Richard Branson and international business leaders have joined politicians from 14 African countries to launch a global campaign to bring solar power to the 620 million people on the continent who must still use kerosene, candles and wood to light their homes and cook. A dramatic fall in the cost of solar power, combined with growing access to mobile phones, has given Africa the chance to leapfrog richer countries’ polluting energy sources and to kickstart business, said Annan, chairman of the Africa progress panel and former UN secretary general.“[Lack of access to electricity] is an injustice that robs millions of our fellow citizens of the dignity, opportunity and freedom that comes with access to modern energy. At present rates of progress, 300 million people in Africa will still lack electricity by 2040. This is intolerable, avoidable and profoundly unfair,” said Annan. “It leaves the world’s poorest people to pay the world’s highest prices for power. Households are losing out as a result of higher prices, investors are losing out on market opportunities and countries are losing out from failure to harness productive technologies and broaden their development base.”Annan said that Africa did not have to follow the carbon-intensive pathway and energy practices of the rich countries and emerging countries that have brought the world to the brink of catastrophe. “The UN climate change conference in Paris must draw a line in the sand. Major emitting countries should seize the opportunity to put in place credible carbon pricing and taxation systems and to stop wasting billions on fossil fuel subsidies … we must now come together to break the deadly interaction between poverty and unsustainable energy systems.” On Wednesday, Nigeria and Sierra Leone signed agreements with Britain to fast-track off-grid solar power to households. A further 12 countries, including Malawi, Senegal and Tanzania, are expected to join the Energy Africa alliance shortly. “Ten years ago this was not possible. Now it can be turned round easily. The lower costs of solar power have made this possible. Nigeria has 96 million people without access to electricity. Most use kerosene. The default energy source should be solar. That was not available 10 years ago. Now it is,” said the Nigerian vice-president Yemi Osinbajo.Geldof said that mobile phones allowed people even in remote communities to pay for solar electricity as and when they required it. “We needed technologies to exist before you could electrify a continent and with the advent of this thing we all have in our pocket it makes this doable. This is the moment when Africa switches on, powers up and goes for it.” Without contributing money at this stage, Britain has pledged to use its offices throughout Africa to help cut red tape, unlock new sources of finance and promote policies to expand household-level solar electricity. It plans to work with donors, investors and lenders, industry and NGO groups, said the international development minister Grant Shapps. “Energy Africa is a new way of delivering aid. It is about using our influence, getting the commercial markets to work for some of the poorest people in the world. This is about more than switching on lights. It means that the day doesn’t end when the sun goes down … it means not having to walk to town when you want to charge your phone … it means saving money because kerosene is one of the most expensive fuels in the world … It means not giving birth by candlelight,” said Shapps.Branson, who has worked to develop solar power in Caribbean countries and is planning to invest in a number of solar projects in Africa, said: “Energy poverty and economic poverty are two sides of the same coin. Access to sustainable energy like solar can change all that. It fuels entrepreneurship, it boosts educational opportunities and it’s an incredible source of women’s empowerment. “Solar is also good for business, and is set to take off around the world. As a businessman I view this transition not as a burden but as a historic opportunity, and I feel strongly that universal access to clean, renewable sources of energy can be achieved in our lifetime – even in this generation.” Kevin Watkins, director of the Overseas Development Institute, added: “Just a few weeks ago governments adopted a new set of development goals, including a pledge to deliver universal access to energy by 2030. Yet on current trends there will still be some 500 million people in Africa without access to modern energy. “Africa’s energy access crisis is holding back growth and keeping people in poverty. It is also one of the greatest market failures of our day. Renewable energy technologies are affordable and accessible – and Africa has some of the world’s richest and least tapped sources of solar energy.”

Importance of Solar Energy

Before we delve into the discussion of why SOLAR ENERGY is so needed in the world today, we’ll first look into what solar energy really is. By definition, solar energy is that beaming light and heat that is generated from the sun. Solar energy has been used by human beings since time immemorial. Solar power is used in a widespread of the ever so progressing technologies of the world.
The radiation that comes from solar energy along with the resultant solar energized resources such as wave power, wind, biomass and hydroelectricity all give an explanation for most of the accessible renewable energy that is present on earth. However, only an infinitesimal portion of the existing solar energy is used.
So the question ‘ IMPORTANCE OF SOLAR ENERGY‘, that persists in the minds of many, is because solar energy can prove to have an immense amount of constructive and helpful impact on you and on the environment as a whole. Contrasting to the fossil fuels that we consume and use on a daily basis, solar energy does not fabricate the excessively injurious pollutants that are liable for the greenhouse effect which is known to lead to global warming. Solar power use reduces the quantity of contamination and toxic waste, not to forget pollution that the engendering plants have to produce.
GLOBAL WARMING is an issue of great interest. In the recent times, with more awareness about the harmful effects of global warming, the issue is taken with great interest. There is in point of fact a massive belief that the use of fossil fuel is a contributing factor to the cause of global warming, which will ultimately result in the demise of the planet altogether. Probably the best part about why solar energy is that it is a renewable source of energy, which basically means that it will stay there forever, it will be consumed for all practical human usages. Oil, coal etc, is all bound to finish one day and eradicate from the face of  the planet. So why not put them in the storage and use something more useful, is a basic question that many people have today.

World Panel unveils sun-powered mobile charging solution World Panel on Tuesday unveiled its latest robust technology, which “streams” solar-generated electricity into mobile devices, aimed at providing charging solutions for rural mobile phone owners. In a first step to get SunStream, showcased at AfricaCom in Cape Town this week, onto the local market, World Panel inked a retail deal with telecommunications giant Vodacom to sell the products at selected outlets. “I originally visited Africa with a solar prototype for household purposes and was consistently asked by residents whether it could charge their phones. I have returned with a product that is essential for anyone who owns a mobile phone but who has limited access to dependable energy sources,” World Panel CEO John Anderson explained. The US-manufactured device, which secured a US utility patent earlier this year and now had 20 design patents worldwide, would be steadily rolled out into Africa with talks under way with several small-scale distributors. SunStream, which was able to withstand harsh conditions and water, with a shatterproof, 2 m drop-tested glass face and polymer case, retailed for R199; however, CFO Derek Cozzens hoped the device could lead to the development of microbusinesses, with consumers able to sell a charging service for neighbours in rural regions.

l.By thinking small, a group of South African scientists may have pioneered solar technology that has stumped internet giant Google. 'Plonkable' An engineer at Stellenbosch University's Helio100 project says the team has designed a cost-effective heliostat that harnesses solar power to generate electricity. A heliostat is an energy producing device that uses mirrors or lenses to reflect sunlight. Research engineer Sebastian-James Bode says the South African device is different because it is "plonkable", meaning it can be plonked down, without much construction needed to set it up. The team aims to reduce production cost further to 6 cents per square meter of mirror. Until now, building heliostat plants has been prohibitively expensive. In 2011, Google announced that it halted its own heliostat project after researchers could not design an inexpensive model.

Next-Gen Solar Panels: More Power from the Sun

Solar Power Revolution - Here Comes The Sun -- Documentary

South African team may have solved solar puzzle even Google couldn't crack Pioneering technology to deliver the cheapest, small-scale concentrated solar power plants in the world could revolutionise the renewable energy market It is a problem that has so far stumped even Google’s brainy engineers – how to generate cheap solar electricity using a small-scale array of mirrors to concentrate the sun’s energy. Now a team at a South African university – led by a former Intel strategic planner – believes they have cracked it. Once they have completed a prototype system in October they have big plans for rolling out the technology. The idea behind the design – so-called Concentrated Solar Power or CSP – is simple. A field of mirrors on the ground tracks the sun and concentrates its rays on to a central point which heats up. That heat is converted into electricity. There are a handful of large-scale examples of such solar plants around the world generating electricity, and there are predictions that the technology could generate a quarter of the world’s energy by 2050. But the plants are expensive and it has proved difficult to make them work at smaller scale. Called heliostats, the shaped mirrors are usually large with a huge central base set in concrete. With current technology they are expensive to produce, have to be connected through pricey wiring and need to be installed by highly skilled and large construction crews. This is the main factor that makes CSP more expensive than traditional photovoltaic panels, which have fallen in price by 75% since 2009. Paul Gauché is the South African founding director of the Solar Thermal Research Group at Stellenbosch University that is testing a new approach. “I have managed technology teams from around the world and this is the best team I have managed,” he says proudly, looking around the busy workshop floor. His team’s aim is to produce CSP technology that will be cheap and quick to install. “We are developing plonkable heliostats. Plonkable means that from factory to installation you can just drop them down on to the ground and they work.” So no costly cement, no highly-trained workforce, no wires, just two workers to lay out the steel frames on the ground and a streetlight-style central tower. Their work has already attracted the interest of well-known foreign companies, including a German consortium and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology solar company. Sitting in a control room made from stacked shipping containers, Gauché looks out over the heliostats sprouting like flowers in the field. “Every part in it is manufacturable and installable by two sets of hands, or one rugby player as we found out,” he laughs. Helio100 is a pilot project with over 100 heliostats of 2.2 sq meters each, generating 150 Kilowatts (kW) of power in total – enough to power about 10 households. According to Gauché, the array is already cheaper than using diesel, the go-to fuel for most companies and businesses during regular power outages in the country. Google’s RE<C initiative, which developed pioneering new renewable energy technology, attempted to build systems like this but they abandoned their research after reporting that they could not do it cheaply enough. What Gauché’s team has done differently is to reduce the cost of creating heliostats. Around the world CSP is in decline after an initial growth spurt because it currently costs about three times more than using a hybrid system of PV panels together with wind power to generate electricity, explains Prof Tobias Bischoff-Neimz, manager for energy at South Africa’s Centre for Scientific and Industrial Research. “The future for CSP rests with creating power at changing rates, not like a base load power station that runs at full power all the time, but a system that makes the grid more flexible.” He says Gauché’s work to reduce the cost of the technology is vital if CSP is to reach its potential. Gauché’s team uses smaller mirrors that focus the sun’s rays on to a small surface at the top of the tower. The mirrors track the sun all day – like people watching a tennis ball during a match – and then reset for morning. They focus the sun’s rays into a beam so intense it that can melt the collector in less than five seconds if its cooling water stops flowing. The heating element is like a car’s radiator in reverse; the heat is transferred to moving water that can either create electricity or be used for other work. Athi Ntisana is a technologist from South Africa’s Eastern Cape province who has been working since the start of the project conceptualising, prototyping and building the finished systems. He is convinced the technology is right for the country. “It requires labour, components can be manufactured here in the country and we have land here where sunlight is abundant – and that’s also where there is not much employment. It solves all these problems.” The team wants their system fully functional by the end of October 2015 but Gauché predicts that once they refine the technology, then economies of scale will follow. Referring to Henry Ford’s famous mass-market breakthrough he says: “We are not yet at the model T in CSP. The moment you start to get high volumes, industrialisation, get more scientists, more of everything, then the costs will come down radically.”

India is inviting African nations to join a solar power alliance at critical UN climate talks in Paris on 30 November. Prime minister Narendra Modi made the bid for clean energy cooperation at a summit in New Delhi, attended by 41 African heads of state. Climate change was a core theme in his speech, which outlined common ground between nations representing a third of the world’s population. Modi said: “When the sun sets, tens of millions of homes in India and Africa become dark. We want to light up lives of our people and power their future. “But, we want to do it in a way that the snow on Kilimanjaro does not disappear, the glacier that feeds the River Ganga does not retreat and our islands are not doomed. “No one has done less to contribute to global warming than India and Africa. No one can be more conscious of climate change than Indians and Africans.” Solar power is a pillar of India’s commitment to cut its carbon intensity – emissions for each unit of GDP – 33-35% by 2030. It aims to install 100GW worth of panels by 2022, plus 75GW of other renewable technologies. And it features in many African national contributions to a UN climate deal. Worldwide, 155 out of 195 countries have submitted climate pledges. A global partnership can make clean technology affordable and bring energy to remote communities, Modi told delegates. He called for a “concrete and comprehensive” climate deal in Paris, based on the “well established principles” of the UN convention. That was a coded reference to language that puts the onus on rich, historic polluters to take most responsibility for tackling climate change – a frame that the developed world is pushing back on as emerging economies increase their share of emissions. Reflecting on India and Africa’s young and growing economies, Modi also demanded UN reform, including a voice on the security council. And there were finance promises: US$10 billion worth of concessional loans over the next five years and $600 million in grants.

WHAT IS A SOLAR ENERGY CHARGE CONTROLLER?
Let us take a look at the charge controller, or charge regulator is basically a voltage or current regulator to keep batteries from overcharging. It regulates the voltage and current coming from the solar panels going to the battery. Most "12 volt" panels put out about 16 to 20 volts, so if there is no regulation the batteries will be damaged from overcharging. some batteries need around 14 to 14.5 volts to get fully charged. Your full chargered battery bank keeps the all round power supply at the given time or late in the night when the sun  may no longer be there!

 Solar panels are the beacon of renewable energy, yet they are not getting as much light as they could be. Joshua Pearce from Michigan Technological University and a team from Queen's University in Canada have found a way to get more sun to shine on the panels and crank up the output by 30 percent or more. "We expend a lot of blood, sweat and tears to make solar panels as efficient as possible," Pearce says. "We work so hard to get a fraction of a percent increase on the module level; double digit returns on the systems level was relatively easy." Such a large increase of efficiency at the system level then could greatly change how solar panels are installed, and with the economic payback, it could even mean major retrofits for existing solar farms. "We're looking at this from a systems perspective," Pearce says, who is an associate professor of materials science and engineering and electrical and computing engineering. He explains that the research focused on the system rather than individual panels mostly because the current set up for ground-mounted solar panel arrays is "wasting space." The iconic flat-faced solar panels installed in large-scale utility solar farms are spaced apart to prevent shading. As the sun shines on a photovoltaic system, sending electricity into the grid, a fair amount of that potential energy is lost as the light hits the ground between rows of panels. The solution is simple, says Pearce: Fill the space with a reflector to bounce sunlight back onto the panels and use the light-reflecting mathematical models of videogames and action movies to avoid temperature swings.

WHAT IS SOLAR ENERGY INVERTER


A solar inverter converts the electricity from your solar panels (DC, or direct current) into power that can be used by the plugs in your house for your TV, computer, and other wired products  (AC, or alternating current). Panels can’t create AC power by themselves; they need the helping hand of a solar inverter.

How does solar energy work?

Solar Panels—The solar panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells, which convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity throughout the day.
 
Inverter—This device converts the DC electricity generated by the solar panels into the alternating current (AC) electricity.
 
Electrical Panel—The AC electricity is sent from the inverter to your electrical panel to power your lights and appliances with solar energy. The electrical panel is often called a "breaker box."
Utility Meter—The utility meter measures your energy use. It actually goes backward when your system generates more power than you immediately need. This excess solar energy offsets the energy you use at night.
 
Utility Grid—Your business is still connected to the grid. You’ll need that power from the utility company at night, but don’t worry. The cost is offset by any excess solar energy you put into the grid during the day.
 
PowerGuide Monitoring System—Our exclusive PGMS continuously tracks your energy production and ensures that your solar power system is running smoothly. It will even alert our repair crews in the rare event that problems arise.

What is solar energy?

What is solar energy?

Solar energy is, simply, energy provided by the sun. This energy is in the form of solar radiation, which makes the production of solar electricity possible.
Electricity can be produced directly from photovoltaic, PV, cells. (Photovoltaic literally means “light” and “electric.”) These cells are made from materials which exhibit the “photovoltaic effect” i.e. when sunshine hits the PV cell, the photons of light excite the electrons in the cell and cause them to flow, generating electricity.
Solar energy produces electricity when it is in demand – during the day particularly hot days when air-conditioners drive up electricity demand.
In use, solar energy produces no emissions. One megawatt hour of solar electricity offsets about 0.75 to 1 tonne of CO2.
PV panels are being used increasingly, both in the city and in remote locations, to produce electricity for households, schools and communities, and to supply power for equipment such as telecommunication and water pumps. The majority of solar PV installations in Australia are grid-connected systems.
Also, electricity for remote and regional Australian communities has been supplied by solar energy for many years.
Australia is one of the sunniest countries in the world and there is huge potential for solar PV to make a significant contribution to electricity generation.
