Food service businesses (restaurants and grocery stores) use 2.5 times more energy than the average commercial business. Think about it: all the stoves, ovens, heat lamps, dish washers, refrigerators, and fryers turning out meal after meal, it makes sense that they are energy intensive. However, kitchens are also hectic places where simple energy wasters often get ignored in the hustle and bustle.

Richard Young, from the Food Service Technology Center in California, highlighted a long list of simple changes that food service businesses can make that can shave big bucks off their energy bills at his presentation at Dunwoody College on Monday March 21st. From stopping leaking faucets and closing ice maker lids all the way to replacing exhaust hoods and re-doing their lighting, businesses have a huge variety of opportunities, from small to large, free to expensive.

Q. How the electricity is produced by using solar energy?

Question by Eagle E: Q. How the electricity is produced by using solar energy?
Please describe in details how do the whole mechanisms work? How it is developed? What apparatus is required? How the solar panel is constructed and how it works? Explain me all questions by using 3d figures or images or video if available. I have no prior knowledge about solar electricity so; please guide me in the easiest way as much as possible; I want to make electricity for my home by using solar energy what should I do? How can I achieve or construct it myself?

Answer by Bhavya P
When certain semiconducting materials, such as certain kinds of silicon, are exposed to sunlight, they release small amounts of electricity. This process is known as the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect refers to the emission, or ejection, of electrons from the surface of a metal in response to light. It is the basic physical process in which a solar electric or photovoltaic (PV) cell converts sunlight to electricity.

Sunlight is made up of photons, or particles of solar energy. Photons contain various amounts of energy, corresponding to the different wavelengths of the solar spectrum. When photons strike a PV cell, they may be reflected or absorbed, or they may pass right through. Only the absorbed photons generate electricity. When this happens, the energy of the photon is transferred to an electron in an atom of the PV cell (which is actually a semiconductor).

With its newfound energy, the electron escapes from its normal position in an atom of the semiconductor material and becomes part of the current in an electrical circuit. By leaving its position, the electron causes a hole to form. Special electrical properties of the PV cell—a built-in electric field—provide the voltage needed to drive the current through an external load (such as a light bulb).

Shafiq Iqbal, How does a bio electric unit work

Bio Electric Unit ,175 KW, Made in Pakistan. Vision Engineering,Sarfraznagger Multan road Lahore, The given system allows to perform biogas purification to bio-methane condition (full analog of natural gas with methane concentration 90-97%). After the purification system gas can be used as vehicle fuel or can be fed to the general gas supply network. The system advantage is low cost of gas cleaning due to the use of water as the main component of suBiogas production is possible on biogas plants of very different scale. They can be small plants to produce energy for own needs and gigantic centralized Energy Parks for gas and electric power supply to public grid.Most of food and agricultural industry wastes and specially grown energy crops are suitable for biogas production.
