Not only do photovoltaic modules use the direct sunlight that only occurs when skies are clear, but they also use diffuse radiation from the clouds. It is actually very simple: The brighter it is outside, the more performance the modules achieve ? regardless of whether the sun is directly visible or not.

Parans aims at establishing a connection to the outdoor environment. Having the sun as the light source, the Parans Solar Panels do not transfer light when clouds block the sun. This dynamic is one key element of natural light. At night and at other times when there is no sun the Hybrid versions offer complete light solutions.

In the UK, solar panels work best from March through to October. Cloud will affect the performance of solar panels quite dramatically, Solar thermal works on solar radiation, solar pc works on light intensity.

It's actually not that cloudy here - we just have lots of nice, white, puffy clouds on most days, but sometimes our camera capture image technology can make them seem more pronounced than they really are. Top

Even when the sun isn't shining brightly, there is still a lot of energy available for your solar system to collect. Remember, you can still get a sunburn on an overcast day. Over the course of several cool, cloudy days, your pool may slowly lose temperature but will rapidly heat up again with the return of sunny weather. The use of a solar blanket is highly recommended to maximize heat retention.

When the Blue Link system isn’t making any electricity you are getting all of your power from the electric company.

Your solar thermal system will capture heat on the sunny days, and even on seemingly cloudy days. This energy is stored in the tank, and is often enough to bridge the gap for fully overcast days. If your solar tank is “emptied” of all its usable heat, your regular appliance takes over, and you don't notice any difference inside your home.

We do fly in cloudy conditions, depending on the height of the clouds. It adds to the beauty of the scenery, and often reduces the glare sometimes associated with bright unobstructed sunlight. top

Excerpt: There's been a debate going on the last few days over the usage of comments on blogs. I basically agree with Venomous Kate's view on whether blogs need comments. And Unbound Spiral adds some good, uh, comments. But I'd like..

With a solar thermal system, you’ll always have heat, you’ll always have hot water, you’ll always be comfortable – you’ll just pay less for that comfort. Our solar systems work in partnership with your existing furnace and water heater. We heat the water going into your hot water tank or swimming pool and preheat the air for your forced air furnace.

A) Under normal circumstances the water in your pool or spa should be clear. If the water turns cloudy it could mean that the disk(s) is not seeing enough water. Increase the amount of time your pump runs to increase the contact time that the water has with the disk. MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WATER RUNS THROUGH THE DISK THERE IS NO SUCTION ELSEWHERE. If the water remains cloudy it might be time to replace the disk(s).

YES! 70% to 80% of UV radiation can pass through thin clouds. On cloudy days your skin might feel cooler and because of this it is less likely you will notice you are getting burned, which can become quite a problem. It is true that the body needs a small amount of sunlight in order to produce vitamin D, however much less than it takes to get a tan.

There can be nearly an infinite number of reasons for water problems. Assuming the water has been ok up till now, some of the more common possibilities are, residual soap in swimwear, makeup or other personal hygiene products. Consider what has happened, or who has used the spa most recently. If the foam goes away shortly after turning off the jets, the cause is probably a saturation of total dissolved solids.

There could be many reasons for cloudy water. The Water Quality Assurance Lab will want to talk with you. They can answer your question. The number is 645-7691.

First, we'll assume that you're referring to the globe of your Lava Lamp. If that is in fact correct, the only reason the globe will become cloudy is if the motion lamp has been shaken, stirred, moved, dropped, or caught in an earthquake while the Lava Lamp blobs are warm. We're sorry to inform you that this is probably a permanent problem.

Usually this is because of poor filtration. The remedy for this is to increase the filtration running time and clean the filter. Occasionally the sand in the filter may need to be changed. The other main cause for cloudy water is a calcium build up from the use of granular chlorine. To handle this you will need to reduce the level of the water in your pool and top it back up with fresh water. You will also need to switch to using liquid chlorine.

Cloudy lamination is usually the result of insufficient heat. If the machine has a control to adjust the heat, try increasing the temperature. Also, if using a thermal pouch laminator, you may be using a laminating pouch that is too thick for the machine (some machines have pre-set temperatures designed to work with standard pouch films - usually 3 and 5mil).

It could be many things such as bacterial bloom if you have a new tank or the filter has been compromised, or a white precipitate in hard water where phosphate based pH adjuster has been used. Try asking one of the newsgroups, but remember to detail your specific circumstances so the cause can be pinned down for your situation.
