Florida Solar Power
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009
What would be the least expensive way to create electricity through Solar power?
I live in Florida & I have one of those really high stand alone antannaes which isn’t currently used for anything (in case that can be used for projfect).
Concentrating solar power (CSP) is the cheapest way of creating electricity with solar. If you’re a do it yourselfer, look into building a stirling engine and having a few mirrors reflect sunlight onto the hot part of it. I made one out of soda cans, but haven’t gotten around to making one larger yet. Also, there are bimetallic strips that produce a current when heat passes from one side to the other, but not sure where to find them.
