The weather bureau has forecast temperature as 39 degrees Celsius in Melbourne, 42C in Adelaide, 46C at Wudinna and 45C at Ceduna in the west of South Australia.

If you are fed up of High Temperature and rising electricity bills then solar power is the best ways to reduce or totally eliminate heat and household electricity bills. The size of solar system you purchase will ultimately determine how much money you can save and/or earn through feed-in tariffs.

Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics converts light into electric current using the photoelectric effect.

The Government is also supporting the green energy, and all states have solar rebates in form of direct rebate and feed-in-tariff for solar electricity generation. The Government Rebate will be reduced in year 2011. So it is best to take advantage of Rebates now.

“It is said that the sun’s rays falling on the earth for about twenty minutes is enough to meet the electricity requirements of the year. It is important that we control this energy for our our advantage to fight against global warming. Solar energy can be used for domestic use or part of it can be converted into solar electricity from solar power technology.

Solar energy is not available at night, making energy storage an important issue in order to provide the continuous availability of energy. Solar energy can be stored at high temperatures using molten salts. Salts are an effective storage medium because they are low-cost, have a high specific heat capacity and can deliver heat at temperatures compatible with conventional power systems.

Off-grid PV systems have traditionally used rechargeable batteries to store excess electricity. With grid-tied systems, excess electricity can be sent to the transmission grid. Net metering programs give these systems a credit for the electricity they deliver to the grid. This credit offsets electricity provided from the grid when the system cannot meet demand, effectively using the grid as a storage mechanism. Credits are normally rolled over month to month and any remaining surplus settled annually.
