The latest to announce its demise is Google Powermeter. All the efforts to combine social networking with energy conservation seem to be pulling the plug. As I wrote back in April, Web 2.0 may be many things, but green it is not. And that’s a shame, because if our friends could “unlike” our energy habits, [...]

Solar thermal is a branch of the solar energy is harnessing the sun’s heat energy in the life of human beings. It can be used domestically, such as for cooking (stoves, solar) to generate hot water (SWH) or for heating. It is also used at industrial level, where water is heated to evaporate the water [...]

This renewable energy is used primarily for two things, though not the only, first to heat things like food or water, known as solar thermal, and second to generate electricity, known as photovoltaics. The main equipment used in thermal solar energy are the water heaters and solar stoves. To generate electricity using solar cells, which [...]

Last month, I wrote about the EcoDog home power monitoring system , which lets you see how much electricity your house is pulling, circuit by circuit. Apart from being fun for energy geeks like me who have an insatiable appetite for data, the device lets you discover patterns in your power consumption you might never [...]

Editor’s Note: Scientific American ‘s George Musser will be chronicling his experiences installing solar panels in Solar at Home (formerly 60-Second Solar). Read his introduction here and see all posts here . “I was bleeding energy out,” fellow solar homeowner Paul Proctor told me. “I needed to find out how, and why, and where.” I [...]
