Solar Water Pumping (Earthscan Expert)
by Robert Foster, Windy Dankoff, and Alma Cota
Pumping water is a universal need and a major energy challenge, especially where electrical service is absent, expensive or unreliable. Water demands are greatest when the sun shines most intensely. Could there be a better power source for pumping, than the sunshine itself? Over a million solar pumps are already in use for irrigation, livestock, pond and stream management, water treatment, homes and communities, emergency relief, government and recreational facilities, and more. They are rapidly...
Breakthroughs in thin film technology, increased efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, and other worldwide efforts to develop clean energy sources have led to an annual 15 percent increase in the manufacture and sale of solar cells.
