Solar Power BasicsSolar Power Basics

Daytime: Too Much EnergyDaytime: Too Much Energy

Day: system usually makes more energy than home can use

Extra energy flows back onto utility grid

Runs the electric meter backwards for credit

Extra power used by others

Nighttime: Not Enough EnergyNighttime: Not Enough Energy

Solar panels don’t work at night

Take back energy that’s “banked” during the day

Only pay bill once a year

On avg, use as much as you put in, your bill is ZERO!

Global Problem:Global Problem:Hunger and StarvationHunger and Starvation

• UN World Food Program Report (Feb. 17, 2007)

• 850 million people are “hungry or malnourished”

• Half of this number are children

• 18,000 children die of hunger and malnutrition every day

• 1 death every 5 seconds

Loaves, Fishes…. And AbundanceLoaves, Fishes…. And Abundance

• Connect regional electricity grids into worldwide energy network

• Connect renewable energy resources (hydro, solar, wind)

• Phase out energy generating plants causing greatest pollution

• Provide universal access to electricity and power grid

• Goal: 2,000 kWh per capita/year

Global Energy Network StrategyGlobal Energy Network Strategy

• Global Energy Network Institute (GENI)

• Located in San Diego

• Founded 1986

• Based on work of Dr. R. Buckminster Fuller

• Inventor of geodesic dome

• “World Game” simulations in 1960s and 1970s
