Solar Energy How it Works Solar Thermal PV CPV © Sundolier, Inc.
Solar Energy - Light & Heat What is solar energy? Solar energy is the radiant energy produced by the Sun. It is both light and heat. It, along with secondary solar-powered resources such as wind and wave power, account for the majority of the renewable energy on Earth Read more: http: //www. universetoday. com/73693/what-is-solar-energy/#ixzz 2 Ob.

Clean Energy Nega-Energy PV = Photo Voltaic Light CPV = Concentrating Photo Voltaic Solar Thermal © Sundolier, Inc.
Efficiency Clean Energy No-Energy Photo Voltaic - up to 20% - Currently about 15% Light - Can be 90% Efficient Concentrating Photo Voltaic - Up to 50% - Currently about 25% Solar Thermal ◦ - up to 80%, 33% on conversion PV & CPV Panel Efficiency (%): The conversion efficiency of a PV cell is the proportion of sunlight energy that the cell converts to electrical energy. LIGHT Efficiency: Useful light that makes it into the space Heat, Glare, High Contrast can be a problem. © Sundolier, Inc.

Daylight for our Circadian Health & Productivity • Good Circadian Rhythm promotes productivity, alertness, and restorative sleep (a healthy immune response cycle) • Poor Circadian Rhythm contributes to high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, depression, agitation, and a weaker immune response © Sundolier, Inc.
Light, Sunlight Sight Circadian Rhythm – Daily Rhythm ◦ Blue. vs. Red or no light The right light (Blue wavelengths) on the Retina stimulates the hypothalamus, this results in activity in the: • pituitary (growth, blood pressure, reproduction), • pineal (sleep/wake), • adrenal (stress) and • thyroid (metabolism)glands. Daylight does more than make us feel good, sunlight changes wavelengths from sunrise to sunset setting our rhythm. Update on the Positive Effects of Light in Humans Joan E. Roberts, Ph.
