The sun is an inexhaustible and widely available energy source. The entire surface of the Earth receives such a large amount of energy from the Sun that it would be enough to meet all the energy needs of the planet's population for millions of years ahead. In clear weather, one square meter of the Earth receives an average of 1000 watts. The main problem of using this inexhaustible source is the uneven flow of sunlight: in some regions, you can enjoy clear weather up to 340 days a year, and in some, there are hardly a couple of dozen cloudless days.
Solar energy belongs to the category of alternative. It is developing dynamically, offering new methods of obtaining energy from the Sun. Today, such methods of obtaining solar energy and its further transformation are known:
• photovoltaics or photovoltaic method - energy collection using photovoltaic cells;
• hot air - when the energy of the Sun is converted into the air and directed to the turbine generator;
• heliothermal method - heating by rays of a surface that accumulates thermal energy;
• "solar sail" - a device of the same name, operating in an airless space, converts the sun's rays into kinetic energy;
• balloon method - solar radiation heats the balloon, where steam is generated due to the heat, which serves to generate reserve electricity.
Receiving energy from the Sun can be direct (through solar cells) or indirect (using the concentration of solar energy, as in the case of the solar thermal method). The main advantages of solar energy are the absence of harmful emissions and reduced costs of electricity bills. This is encouraging more and more people and businesses to turn to solar energy as an alternative. Alternative energy is most actively used in countries such as Germany, Japan, and China.
The popularity of these or those methods is determined by such factors as efficiency, reliability, and cost of technology:
- Using solar panels (batteries);
- Solar collectors (helio systems);
- Solar thermal power plants.
Batteries and modules are familiar to anyone who has ever wondered about an alternative way to get electricity. Such panels can be used both on an industrial scale and for private needs. With the help of a solar battery, you can solve many problems: charge a phone, power an autonomous lighting system, provide electricity to a house, or an entire settlement. Depending on the goals set, the internal structure and the principle of operation of batteries differ from each other.
Heliosystems convert solar energy into thermal energy. They differ among themselves in the type of design and volume of the performance. Thus, flat solar systems retain the same power at low temperatures, but vacuum ones are 40% more efficient in clear weather. Curious about how to use this solar energy at home? Solar systems can be compact: they are installed right in the house to save on heating and water heating. On an industrial scale, they are used to dry raw materials or to reduce the load on heating units.
Solar thermal power plants are capable of providing electricity to entire cities. They are designed with computer-controlled mirrors that capture the rays and direct them to the center of the tower. Concentrated solar energy transforms the water in the tower into steam, which provides sufficient pressure to rotate the turbine, which generates electricity.
CandelaCoin
The project team offers us a solution in the field of renewable energy. A solution that will help not only develop the renewable energy market but also allow private individuals to profit. CandelaCoin intends to build a mobile platform on which each user can sell renewable energy, and users can buy it on this platform.
In many countries of the world, a corresponding law has already been adopted, which allows us, individuals, to sell the generated energy to the state. Perhaps in advanced countries, this law is more extensive and allows electricity to be sold directly from user to user.
CandelaCoin - will develop a mobile Dapp that will be built on the Ethereum blockchain. It is planned to carry out transactions on the platform in the project's cryptocurrency. Thus, the project is trying to open up new markets for renewable energy around the world. Of course, not all users will be able to equip their homes with such devices to sell electricity, but on the platform, we will be able to buy it.
My opinion about the project
In such a wonderful industry as renewable energy, there should always be breakthroughs. Undoubtedly, the CandelaCoin project will push users to equip their homes with solar power plants, which will allow them to receive more profitable and environmentally friendly electricity. Thanks for your attention!
