It is possible to harness the energy from the sun and convert it into either electricity or heat using PV (photo-voltaic) or ST (solar thermal) technologies respectively. Solar collectors transform solar radiation into heat and transfer that heat to a medium (water, solar fluid, or air). Then solar heat can be used for heating water, backup heating systems or for heating swimming pools.
While recognizing the advantages of using natural light, the inventors also understood the drawbacks: the Sun's energy carries heat, as well as light, and it's important to separate the two if you want to make a building light without making it hot at the same time.
A solar powered lighting system provides a lighting element assembly having a lighting element and a diffuser that secures near the upper end of a support. A collector unit contains a solar cell and a coupler such as a clip-on clamp which allows the collector unit to be selectively attached to the desired support.
If used correctly solar day and night lighting can provide free, high-quality lighting, and do it with less heat generation inside the house than conventional electric lighting.
In the dark depths of winter, there's nothing like a sunny day to set your spirits soaring. Trees and flowers reach for the sky, cats bask in the warm sunlight, and even humans take a time to sit in gardens or stroll along the beach. The message is clear: everything living loves natural light! So wouldn't it be great if we could use more of it in our buildings instead of the sterile, artificial electric light we usually have to put up with?
However, there is a barrage of cheap solar collectors being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported stuff is cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed solar collectors made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flags and flagpole lightings offered a special edition of solar-powered collectors to provide innovative solutions for individual projects.
