PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS - PROJECT OF USING THEM ON CARGO SHIPS

The main focus of this article is the development and use of clean renewable energy sources on ships. The main goal is the diversity of energy sources and the reduce of environmental pollution, hoping that this will ensure future energy security of supply. I propose to install the solar panels on a port-container. The reason of this article is to try to reduce ship pollution and the quantity of fuel used, that mince, to reduce the price of transportation and to save money. As a result of my research I discovered that is more convenient to use the Rawlemon photovoltaic sphere that normal solar panels. Photovoltaic sphere is generating energy by day and night, in all types of weather. It has a yield with 70% higher than normal photovoltaic panel attached to a fixed mount, it can generate upto 3.4 kWh/day. Environmental impact of photovoltaic field is limited to space used and to the visual impact because there are nil polluting emissions, thermal or acoustic. Photovoltaic sphere is revolutionizing photovoltaics panels, it captures the Sun rays on the opposite side of the sphere acting as a lens which focuses them on a large area directly to the solar panel. Action on energy efficiency is one of the fastest and most effective ways to support improving the performance of companies with respect the protection of environment. Energy is one of the most controllable costs, because any energy savings are accounted directly into profits.
