What is Solar Technology?

Solar technology is one of the most ancient forms of technology used by mankind and is probably the most important solution to the latest global issue of the time.

The making of salt by evaporation of saline water near ocean and lake shores is one of the oldest industry known, which runs on solar energy utilization technology. The industries of today are somehow so gigantic that it is creating global challenges for meeting energy solutions made more complex with ever increasing population. Solar technology in its various forms tries to suffice ever increasing global energy demand.

Solar Technologies are broadly classified as Active or Passive depending on the process of utilization of solar energy. A solar-electric system is the best example of active or complex solar technology which involves production of electricity using Solar panels, rechargeable batteries, regulators and controllers, etc. The passive forms of solar technologies were utilized in days gone by to arrange the infrastructures and building in such ways that it would produce natural air circulation.

What are House hold Electronics/ Consumer Electronics?

Consumer Electronics: Wide range of easy to use electronic devices which are commonly and commercially available around most of the places in the world.

House hold: A place where a group of people / family live together

Electronics: A Device or appliance which works on the principle of flow of electrons (or charged particles).

Household Electronics: Devices, appliances or machines which work on principle of Electronics and are mostly used by people in their day to day lives. The purpose of using electronics could be anything from below:

·         For making our lives comfortable and easy (e.g. Fans, Lights, Electric showers, Vacuum   cleaners, Electronic stoves, Extension cables, etc)

·         For entertainment, leisure and relaxation (e.g. T.V., D.V.D., woofers, IPods, Mp3 players)

·         For getting valuable information from around the world and for communication (e.g. Radios, Mobile phones, Satellite decoders)

·         For reducing work load and finishing daily tasks faster, (e.g. Calculators, Computers, electric kettle, water heaters, etc)

·         For security (e.g. Security alarms, security lights, Door bells)

·         For improving the quality of life (e.g. Digital cameras, Refrigerators, Microwave Ovens)

·         For good health and sanitation (Electronic thermometers, shaving machines, flat irons)
