Renewable Energy in China - Serious Opportunities or Serious Risks?



China is now the world's largest investor in renewable energy having eclipsed both Germany's and the United States' spending in the last year. Renewable energy is at the heart of the latest (twelfth) five year plan for the development of China, and there's been an explosion in companies focusing in the sector. Solar, Wind, Hydro and even Geo Thermal have become big business for the Middle Kingdom, and foreign investors are rushing to get in on the act. However much of the money flowing into the sector may not be wisely spent, the question is how to identify opportunities from major risks?







Solar Panels by Night









How to bank on solar panels at night
Making the most of the solar radiation that reaches our atmosphere is the need of the hour. Sadly, the rate at which we are using this non-exhaustible source of energy in the form of solar panels is very slow and without regard for the huge savings that can be invited upon our homes, offices and lifestyles.

Sourcing energy by day and night
Our fossil fuels are bound to get exhausted sooner or later. The consequence is that the depleting quantities have raised prices and made the availability of fuel a luxury! Not only is the energy from the sun trapped by the solar panels cost efficient but also green, safe and completely dependable. Solar energy is without a doubt the best replacement we have for fuel on our planet. In the near future harnessing and reusing solar power by night is going to be the clarion call of governments and environmentalists.

Different Types of Solar Energy - How Many Are There?







 
There are different types of solar energy that are used today. You ask how many are there. According to recent studies, there are three basic types but we will break it down into five different categories. Below I have listed each type and will describe each as it relates to the different uses.
  • Photovoltaic Solar Power-Energy that is created by converting the suns rays into electrical energy is called photovoltaic. I am sure you have seen solar panels on houses or businesses before. These are the devices that convert the solar energy into usable electricity. In a simple form it can be used to power solar lighting, examples of this are traffic signs, yard lighting, or security applications.
  • Passive Solar Energy-Passive solar energy can best be described as using the sun's energy without the use of mechanical devices. One example could be the energy from the sun concentrating heat on a black painted block wall which in turn would warm your house. Another example could be how the sun

How the Government Can Boost Investments to Renewable Energy Companies





Country policy on tax exemptions, grants and aids are different depending on the capacity of the government. Renewable energy resources are considered as one of the major components for a sustainable future in order to continue and heighten economic as well as industrial activities in the country.
Government can invite investors internationally and locally. The country is represented by the government, specifically the president, wherever he goes. Of course, the government will showcase the best of what the country could offer. Another is that the government opens an international fair once a year. For this year, Korea is hosting an Environment technological fair in Incheon. It will showcase Korea's finest companies that offer environmental management, clean energy and waste and pest control. Truly, this environment technological fair will open local Korean renewable energy companies to the global market.
Allow the government to invest on your company's bright idea. Sustainable power could be the new driving force of the country's economy. The U.S. and China are currently taking the next big step towards alternative energy. They are planning on stimulating the economy towards clean energy. Government investments may guarantee a higher chance of stabilizing yourself as a renewable energy company. Maybe in a few years you would be able to stand on solid ground on your own.
