Barriers To Commercialization Of Solar Energy In Florida, Florida Solar Energy Center, Colleen Mccann Kettles

FSEC Energy Research Center®

Florida has a distinct history of solar system development and use. Solar systems have been operating in the State since the 1920s. During the past several decades, solar technologies have advanced and matured, as have the business entities that deliver solar products to the end user. Solar products made in Florida are U.S. and world industry leaders. Quality control measures, such as collector and system testing and certification, contractor training and licensing, and follow-up site inspection, have assured consumer confidence in solar equipment and installation.

Real Life Applications Of Photovoltaic Power To Hurricane Andrew Relief, Florida Solar Energy Center, William Young

FSEC Energy Research Center®

On August 24, 1992, Hurricane Andrew struck the coast of South Florida and devastated Dade County leaving several hundred-thousand people homeless. Over a million residences were without electrical service, functional water and sewage systems and medical services for days and weeks in the aftermath of the storm. Emergency management teams, medical personnel, the military and countless public and private organizations staged a massive relief effort.

The staff at the Florida Solar Energy Center and SANDIA National Laboratory responded to the disaster with photovoltaics (solar electric) powered equipment to assist in the relief effort. Electricity generated by these systems were used …

Laboratory Testing Of The Reflectance Properties Of Roofing Materials, Florida Solar Energy Center, Danny Parker

FSEC Energy Research Center®

Past simulation and test cell studies have shown potential reduction to building cooling loads from higher exterior surface solar reflectances (Givoni and Hoffman, 1968; Givoni, 1976; Chuan and Busching, 1983; Griggs and Shipp, 1988; Anderson, 1989; Akbari et al., 1990; Chandra and Moalla, 1991; Bansal et al., 1992). Furthermore, simulation analysis of macro-climatic effects have shown that light colored surfaces may reduce the magnitude of the urban heat island (Taha et al., 1988; Akbari et al, 1989; Akbari et al., 1992).

Figure 1 shows a graphic illustration of the potential influence of surface reflectance on roof solar heat gain. The …

Exergetic Cost Analysis Of A Mechanical Exergy Recycle, Jim Mcgovern

Conference Papers

Selecting Windows For South Florida Residences, Florida Solar Energy Center, Ross Mccluney

FSEC Energy Research Center®

To provide some guidance to the victims of hurricane Andrew in Dade County, we performed a study of various types of modern glazing systems that might be incorporated in windows for south Florida residences.

The dominant energy impact of residential windows in south Florida comes from the solar radiant heat gain entering these windows and the corresponding heat loads on cooling systems. Thus any extra dollars spent by homeowners to purchase improved replacement windows should be spent in lowering the solar gains of the windows purchased (by reducing glazing shading coefficients or by adding exterior shading devices or vegetation) rather …
