In the end all forms of the renewable energy are direct or indirect
forms of solar energy, respectively of solar irradiation into the
earth's atmosphere. The daily quantity of energy, which the sun emits
by radiation into the earth's atmosphere, is about as much as 16'000
times the daily world energy use. So this energy source virtually is
infinite, as the following diagram connotes.
The direct use of the solar energy takes place by means of modern technologies as:
Photovoltaic modules (PV)
Sun collectors (solar thermal)
Parabolic Trough
Dish Stirling plants
Upwind solar chimneys
Solar tower power systems
Solar furnaces and solar cookers
Solar energy bears particularly large potentials in rural regions of
developing and threshold countries. Both, irradiation intensity and
duration often are favorable. In such circumstances solar home systems
and community systems are an appropriate and effective mean to cover at
least the basic needs and requirements on electricity for cooling of
medicines and the use of light.
In combination as hybrid system or with energy storage facilities a reliable 24-hour electricity supply can be ensured.
German ProfEC possesses fundamental knowledge within project
development of systems that serve the generation and production of
solar energy. A brief overview of the activities covers:
Solar energy resource analysis and potential studies
Solar energy yield prognoses
Consultation and design of solar energy systems
Bankable technical, financial, ecological and social feasibility studies
Strategies and master plans for solar energy utilization
Consultation regarding incentive programs for an increased utilization of solar energy
Implementation into existing energy and power systems
