Price decrease of photovoltaic (PV) energy in recent years allows to an increase in the use of small-scale PV modules, especially in the residential sector. Considering that houses and buildings are exposed to solar radiation during the day, it is possible to generate electricity by installing ...
Here are the2025 income tax brackets,2024 tax bracketsand2023 tax bracketsso you can plan how much time and energy you want to spend making money. Contrary to popular belief, earning as much income as possible may not be the best income due to taxes. If You Pay More Social Security Tax,...
A chunk of americium-241 from a consumer residential smoke detector, and a repurposing of some of the other electronics might help. That isotope emits alpha particles with an energy insufficient to penetrate smoke particles in the air to hit the detector, and the alarm is sounded if alpha ...
In 2024, I did go back to work doing some part-time consulting at a fintech company. I figured, why not after buying a new expensive house in October 2023 and my daughter soon going to school full-time. Unfortunately, Icouldn't last longer than four monthsdue to micromanagement, endless...
The potential energy of wastewater is considered as source of electric green energy in the present invention. The total potential energy, spontaneous and stimulated, of wastewater discharged from residential and business buildings are collected at the maximum point before leaving the buildings. Hence ...

Maximum efficiency of surfaces that exploit solar energy, including Photovoltaic Panels and Thermal collectors, is achieved by installing them in a certain inclination (tilt). Most common approach is to select an inclination angle equal to the location’s latitude. This is based on the astronomical...
