Here to assess solar energy. Five years ago i was in a position similar to that of many of you. I was a homeowner thinking about solar electricity for my home. I had to answer a bunch of questions. One, does this stuff work . Would it work on my home and most importantly, can i afford it . Well, i did the research. I bought a system. Now i get to share that knowledge and that experience with you. For the next 30 minutes, well have a class in solar basics and well go out in the field and see an actual solar system being installed. 30 minutes, solar basics, stay with me. Lets talk about the technology, what is it and how does it work . There are three types of solar actually when you sauk about solar. I want to avoid the confusion to make sure were focusing on the right one. Two of them involve heating water and theyre very viable technologies, can be very coast effective but were not going to deal with them right now. One is solar pool heating. It pumps the water up there, heats it, run
To get away. Moments later, the bmw slammed into another car a few blocks away from bishop odowd high school.

Reporter Surveillance Footage from a gas station shows the passenger sprinting across a gas station to get away from police. And tonight, they are still looking for him. Da lin, cbs 5. Prosecutors filed murder cha
Thermal or solar hot water. It heats domestic hot water or d. H. W. Thats your hot water that you use four showers and dishwashers. Were going to talk about solar electric. They have the same technology as computer chips. Theyre similar in structure to that tran cystorlike computer Chip Technology based on silicon. The best thing about them is there are no moving parts and they last a long time. There are cells, modules, and arrays. A cell is one of these pieces here. Its a small unit wired together in a certain way to produce half a volt. These are hooked together in whatever size to be a module or a panel. Those terms are sort of used interchanningbly. You hook as many as you need to for your array. It is very modular and adaptable technology. You can put it whatever size you want. There are two sort of competing or comparable technologies on the market. Crystal lynn is the one thats been the longest. Its made from crystals. It is firm, hard like crystal. Theyre over 85 or 90 of the
