The Future of Wind Power
(April 16, 2008) Christina Archer, consulting assistant professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University, discusses the importance of win power in a clean and renewable future. The Energy Seminar meets weekly during the academic year. For a list of upcoming talks, visit the events page at the Woods Institute for the Environment website.

I need some information on setting up a solar air condition.?
I would like to set up a solar power system to run my air conditioner or even just run or some of my lights in a portion of my home to save on energy cost. I am not a rich man so the cheapest way to do this is what i need. If any one uses solar in there home please help me he get started.
I did a solar air conditioner project when I lived in Phoenix AZ. I cooled my house for three years, but had to move to Oregon where the sun doesn’t shine and it doesn’t get hot.
My system was less than $3000, had only a couple moving parts, was automatic, low tech, etc.
The big problem was it was based on R12 which is considered by some lying SOBs to be not politically correct.

How can I start a career in Solar energy?
I want to learn how to install solar panels do i need a certificate or schooling to start in this Field?
You can enter this field as a “helper”, and get on-the-job training. If you get a Union paying job, you will need more experience, normally.
In meanwhile, best to take all the shop courses you can in high school, including woodwork, and electricity. Taking physics class, or some math classes will help you get ready to be a supervisor someday too.
Talk to both your shop teachers and school counselors for advice about Solar Energy jobs in your area.

what are the waste products of solar energy?
what waste products does solar energy have
If you are asking at the source i.e., at the sun, it would be helium and other larger molecules which are formed from the progressive nuclear fusion of smaller atoms staring with Hydrogen atoms as the raw material. But I really doubt if they can be called “waste” as traditionally “waste” is something “undesirable” created by a man-made process – the fusion happening in the Sun is not a man-made process, neither can we term the fusion products as “undesirable” from human perspective.
If you are talking of waste products generated by “using” solar energy on the earth, well there are literally none during the usage of solar energy. However, the wastes generated during manufacture of the solar cells/panels and their support apparatus like circuit boards/batteries/invertors and
home solar solutions
How can we combine geothermal and solar to provide a total energy solution for a home?
We are building a home in the midwest and considering geothermal as a way to heat and cool the building. Geothermal requires some electricity. Solar panels could be the source of that electricity, but I haven’t been able to find information of where that has been used or how it’s done.
You’d set it up in much the same way that you’d set up a grid connected home, just that you’d have an inverter powering the set-up.
If you want to run on solar power you’ll need some kind of backup for night, batteries work OK for small scales although you’ll need to replace them every so often (especially if you act like you’re still on a grid) although having a grid connection might not be such a bad idea to just run off the grid
