Solar power (PV)

Manufacturers of solar PV experience an industry growth that is among the fastest growing industries in the world. Solar PV systems converts 12-14% of the solar radiation into uable electricity. The energy supply froma correct angled solar PV system is 100 to 130 Watt per m2.

Some charging also takes place on light ovrecast days when the radiation is vertical from the clouds. In that case the modules must not be mounted too steep. But the major energy supply is from direct sunlight. Seen over a year a correctly angled solar Pv system results in 100 to 130 kWh per m2 solar module depending on climate.

The energy can be stored in batteries, but more and more often electricity from PV is fed into the local electric grid.

Wind power

The windpower industry is like the solar PV industry growing fast.
Both windmills with vertical and horisontal axis is available. For larger mills safety zones are necessary.
