How Much will Solar Panels Save you?

July 3, 2018

The sun is a powerful source of energy. This star at the center of the solar system constantly releases photons, which are small bursts of energy that travel the incredible distance to Earth within about eight minutes. Instead of letting this energy go to waste, many homes and businesses are harnessing solar energy by using solar panels to capture and convert it into electricity. Solar panels are devices that are usually placed on the roof of a home or business. Each solar panel consists of a large number of solar cells, which are made out of silicon. Photons collide with these solar cells, causing electrons to break free from their atoms. The electrons then move through an electrical circuit and generate electricity that can be used to power the home or business. The more the solar panel is exposed to sunlight, the more photons it will capture, and thus the more energy it will produce.

Infographic: A New Global Wind Energy Atlas

Infographic | May 13, 2021

To maximize the return of investment, the design of a wind turbine is determined on the 50-year return period of sustained wind speed. Stable and consistent wind speed is one of the major determining factors when considering turbine design and wind turbine farm placement. Cornell researchers Sara C. Pryor, professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, and Rebecca J. Barthelmie, professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, recently released a new global wind atlas—a digital compendium of sites around the world with extreme wind speeds.
