I went to visit NC State Solar House. This was a very interesting and long trip for me because this is what I want to do in future. I want to work on renewable energy sources when I graduate. The Solar Center's Renewable Energy Team focuses on developing and assisting renewable energy technologies across the residential, commercial, and industrial clients. The mission of the North Carolina Solar Center is to advance the use of renewable energy, energy efficiency, green building, and clean transportation resources to ensure a sustainable economy that protects our natural environment, encourages energy independence, and lowers energy costs for consumers. The Center will safeguard this sustainable energy future through programs to educate the public, share research and technical expertise, guide industry’s energy decisions, and shape government policy.
They solar electricity demonstration for people to easily understand how powerful solar energy is. Since this was an indoor project, they put light that has a same power as solar heat on top of solar panels (As you can see in picture above). As soon as you turn on the light it activates the solar panels. You can attach any electronic device to the solar panels, in this demonstration they have attached a fan which turns on.
