Report Buyer Launches Free Report on Achieving the Goal of Solar Power

Posted on: Wednesday, 7 May 2008, 06:00 CDT

Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new free report which examines the growth of popularity of solar power energy as an alternative to conventional fuels.

Achieving the Goal of Solar Power - Sourcing the Sun reports that China's solar power utilisation is only a tiny fraction of the total electricity consumption of 2.83 billion MW. The government has set new targets of raising solar power consumption to 300 MW by 2010.

The study says that advances in technology, growing environmental concerns and fears that conventional fuels are becoming more difficult to source and may run out, are contributing to a steady resurgence in interest in solar power as a mainstream energy source. The USA-based group Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) has estimated that all the energy stored in the Earth's reserves of coal, oil, and natural gas could be matched by the energy from 20 days of sunshine.

Additionally, authors of the report state that at present, the major users of solar power are organisations involved in space exploration, such as NASA. It is possible that the solar power technologies developed for space exploration may eventually be adapted for everyday public use and generate the excitement needed to help kick-start the solar energy sector in other areas.

This free report explores the number of ways in which the Sun's energy can be converted to other forms of energy including the success rates. The report also covers the expanding market for solar power in Europe, USA, Japan, China and India.
