Upcoming Solar Power Technology How To Effec On Home

If you don’t know much about solar technology , it’s helpful to learn the basics. This technology is very practical. Solar is a very efficient power system, and the uses for solar are endless. Wherever you need power, solar can provide it.
Solar cells- How they work:-

Converting solar energy into usable electricity is a simple process which has been around for several decades. The silicon based cells, which make up a solar panel, convert sunlight into electricity through a process known as the ‘photovoltaic effect’.

The ‘photovoltaic effect’ is a process in which ‘photons’  from the sun are absorbed and transferred to an external source (like your light globes) by your solar panels.
The amount of power your solar panels produce will vary depending on the number, configuration and orientation of the cells and the temperature and intensity of the sunlight they are exposed to.

Solar panels- How they connect and what they can do:-
Solar Cells are arranged into panels that are sized for a particular power output.

When photons collide with the cells, they excite electrons on the surface that shake loose and start a flow of electrons, or direct current (DC electricity) to an external source.

In most cases solar panels are usually mounted on the roof of houses, sheds or garages, but they can also be installed directly onto the ground.  Solar panels should be installed in the area that is exposed to the most sunlight.

A most ideal location for a solar panel is a north-facing roof inclined at 30 – 35 degrees.  Having said that an orientation within 45 degrees east or west of that will only have marginal differences in the amount of power a solar panel produces.

Samantha’s Got No Fans in ‘T’-State?

Being a girl from Tamil circuit, this cute smiling damsel got no fans from the Sambar Land according to buzz. The recent trade reports of her latest flick are adding fuel to these conclusions.
Samantha’s latest flick ‘Yeto Vellipoyindi Manasu’ got rave reviews and more than heroes Nani (in Telugu) or Jiiva (in Tamil), only our spicy beauty got that critical acclaim for brilliant performance.

According to trade buzz, the Telugu version of the flick collected around 1 crore in the overseas circuit, while the Tamil version made only 53 lakhs. That means, Telugu version is doing two hundred percent better than Tamil version. Analysts felt that Samantha magic is working only on Telugu people but not on other circuits. In that case, we have to accept the fact that Sam had no fans in Tamil state.

It is really a surprise that the Tamil version ‘Nethane Yen Ponvasantham’ is doing very average despite the presence of top star like Jiiva and director Gautham Menon. We have to see how the final collections will be.

Ways of Successful Technology Implementation

Many ways of success implementation:-

Leadership must provide active and committed support — financial, logistical, and moral.
1 ) A technology program is only going to succeed when school boards, school superintendents, and school principals commit to it in word and deed. That support would take the form of practical allocations in terms of all necessary release time and training for teachers and administrators.

The best leadership must work to supply and maintain an “appropriate environment” that will function as fertile ground for educationally sound outcomes. The teacher is a member of the leadership team too, and should be equally committed to technology-integrated education.

2) Selling is better than telling. Everyone needs to buy into the change that technology brings.
The best leadership establishes an environment in which expected outcomes occur spontaneously. Technology should never be forced on teachers; its use should never come as a mandate from on high.

Teachers must be given the opportunity to prepare for the kind of change that computer-based technology brings. The best leadership therefore enables teachers to become the best that they can be through consultation, collaboration, communication, support, respect, and encouragement.

3) Invest in, and train, a core team of teacher-computerizes.
Teacher-computerizes are men and women who are committed to using computer-based educational technology, and who have been given the opportunity to gain a sufficiently high level of expertise to qualify them to act as role models, advisers, and trouble shooters in matters having to do with computer-based educational technology.

In every school, there should be one or more teacher-computerizes, the number depending on the size of the school and, of course, on the school’s commitment to educational computing.
