Renewable energy sources
Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished). In 2008, about 19% of global final energy consumption came from renewables, with 13% coming from traditional biomass, which is mainly used for heating, and 3.2% from hydroelectricity.
New renewables (small hydro, modern biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels) accounted for another 2.7% and are growing very rapidly. The share of renewables in electricity generation is around 18%, with 15% of global electricity coming from hydroelectricity and 3% from new renewables.
During the five-years from the end of 2004 through 2009, worldwide renewable energy capacity grew at rates of 10-60 percent annually for many technologies. For wind power and many other renewable technologies, growth accelerated in 2009 relative to the previous four years. More wind power capacity was added during 2009 than any other renewable technology.
However, grid-connected PV increased the fastest of all renewables technologies, with a 60-percent annual average growth rate for the five-year period.

i would information on submissible solar pumps im from zimbabwe. i would like to pump under ground water. im an electrical artisan.
your help will be greatly appreciated
We have many solar panels,i want to develop led street light,solar water pump(it is of ac type Three phase) so please send me a book or software or any detailed guidance so that i can implement that …
i have basic knowledge of their development but i want professional details like what should be the wire MOC,type, what will be the losses? selection of battery with most optimum losses etc. so please help me in that direction
thanks

Dear Friend, I want to aware about solar applications, as the people thinks its much expensive, but today its affordable . As the cost of solar panels came down i.e. Rs.45/- per Wp. Also the balance of system is available every where. So only we have to get it connect it & use. So please start to use it.
I am integrator, till date installed 1500 solar street lights & 56 solar dual pumps for village drinking systems.
