Solar power plants
New renewable energy source
|
The solar energy is a today highly accessible energy source that can be
implanted close to residences, industries, building, or on a groud site
designed just for that. Also, the sun is FREE !! You just need to
pay for the installation in implantation, then after all the energy you
get is free of charge. Also, you contribute to make a more green
environment, you reduce the other energy sources that produce Greenhouse
gases, like Oil, Coal, Gaz, etc.
| Many reasons to go with Solar
power plants |
 |
 |
|
Solar power plants have a big difference from conventional energy
sources.
The difference is that the power plants get their energy input through
concentrated solar radiation and then convert it to high-temperature
steam or gas to drive a turbine or motor engine. This difference means
that no pollutants are emitted in producing the electricity. |
Solar power plants
can supply an huge electricity demand.
Solar energy arrives on the earth at a maximum power density of about
1 kilowatt per square meter. However, solar "productivity" is limited by
certain geographical factors, including cloud cover and atmospheric
humidity. In sunny, arid locations, one square kilometer of land can
generate as much as 100 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity per year
using solar thermal technology, enough power for 50,000 households.
|
 |
 |
|
Solar power plants reduce air pollution.
…Or, in other words, each square meter of CSP concentrator surface is
enough to reduce annual consumption of 200 to 300 kilograms (kg) of
carbon dioxide. In addition, the "energy payback" time of CSP systems,
taking into account the energy expended in their manufacture, is about
five months, which compares well with their useful life of approximately
30 to 40 years. Most of the CSP solar field materials can be recycled. |
Available when needed most - during peak demand hours.
In most developed countries, the peak demand period - during the
hottest part of the day, when air conditioners are running in the office
and home - coincides with the period of time when the solar thermal
power plant is at peak production. In addition, solar thermal power, as
predictable and reliable as the sun shining in the desert, is a
renewable alternative to natural gas "peakers", as opposed to other
forms of renewable energy, which are either baseload or intermittent.

Quick installation
Solar power plants can generally be built in their entirety within a
few years and can follow demand more closely than most conventional
power projects. This is primarily because solar plants are built almost
entirely with modular, commodity materials and thus have short
development and construction times. In contrast, many types of
conventional power projects, especially coal and nuclear plants, require
long lead times, and this causes significant disparities between the
demand and the supply.
|
Solar installation looks big, but... they are space efficient
CSP plants seem to use a lot of land, but when looking at electricity
output versus total size, they use less land than hydroelectric dams
(including the size of the lake behind the dam) or coal plants
(including the amount of land required for mining and excavation of the
coal). While all power plants require land and have an environmental
impact, the best locations for solar power plants are on land, such as
deserts, for which there might be few other uses.

| Solar energy applications |
 |
Pre-assembled
kits |
Mendax offers several solar energy kit, ready to
install and to use. You can chosse a starter kit to
expand it later, or a full system for cottage or
home.
|
|
Water pumping |
Solar water pumping are perfect for a wide range
of applications. From home remote or village water
supply, these are well suited and improved to meet
your pumping water needs with solar energy.
|
|
Architectural |
We can developp and configure you conceptual
needs for architectural projects. It can be
integratef in a more classical style or in can
become an apparent part of a modern style project.
|
|
Agriculture |
Farming, can be a very energyintensive industry.
Fortunately, solar energy can supply and
supplement many farm energy requirements : Space and
Water Heating, Greenhouse Heating, and Solar
Electric (Photovoltaic) Systems.
|
|
Schools |
Schools can take the leadin the new environmental
way by implanting solar energy source to their
infrastructures. It can also become a concrete
choice and educational example for the children that
will take place in the future in the society. Why
not install a solar power plant on the roof that can
become a science educational installation that
students can see. |
|
|
Industrial |
Mendax can provide a solar energy sollution for
an huge choice of industrial applications :
Telecommunications, Instrumentation, Broadcast /
News Gathering, Security Lighting,
Surveillance,Remote Data Collection, Navigation,
Seismic Monitoring, Railroad Signaling, etc.
|
|
Residential |
Residential solar energy can be implanted on
various ways. It can generate electricity directly
from the using photovoltaic modules or a Water
heating system that use the heated water to
transform it in electrecity.
|
|
Recreational
marine |
Solar modules pay for themselves by extending
battery life. Even if solar is not your main source
of charging power, using solar will keep the
batteries at a higher state of charge, which
increases their life.
|
|
Towns and
cities |
The solar energy can provide additional energy
sources for modern city installations, like parking
meter, air exchanger, water pump, hot water in the
buildings, air conditioning, traffic lights, etc. Today, all level of
the administration have to contribute to more green
life. |

| Saves you money |
-
After the initial investment has been recovered, the energy from
the sun is practically FREE. The recovery/ payback period for this investment can be very
short depending on how much electricity your household uses.
- Financial incentives are available form the government that will
reduce your cost. If your system produce more energy than you use, your utility
company can buy it from you, building up a credit on your account!
This is called net metering.
- It will save you money on your electricity bill if you have one
at all. Solar energy does not require any fuel. It's not affected by the supply and demand of fuel and is
therefore not subjected to the ever-increasing price of gasoline. The savings are immediate and for many years to come. The use of solar energy indirectly reduces health costs.
|
| Environmentally friendly |
- Solar Energy is clean, renewable (unlike gas, oil and coal) and
sustainable, helping to protect our environment. It does not pollute our air by releasing carbon dioxide,
nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide or mercury into the atmosphere like
many traditional forms of electrical generations does.
- Therefore Solar Energy does not contribute to global warming,
acid rain or smog. It actively contributes to the decrease of harmful green house
gas emissions. It's generated where it is needed.
- By not using any fuel, Solar Energy does not contribute to the
cost and problems of the recovery and transportation of fuel or the
storage of radioactive waste.
|
| Low/ no maintenance |
- Solar Energy systems are virtually maintenance free and will
last for decades. Once installed, there are no recurring costs.
- They operate silently, have no moving parts, do not release
offensive smells and do not require you to add any fuel. More solar panels can easily be added in the future when your
family's needs grow.
