Moth eyes inspire new solar technology
The natural world has often inspired science and where researchers at North Carolina State University turned for inspiration to harness light more efficiently in solar devices. If you picture oil...
The hospital project involved a monitoring of its current usage, and calculated the savings achievable by only insulating the hot water pipes through out the hospital. The saving were predicted at 44% and after installation of the insulation we had reduced the 506 kWh per day to 253kWh per day. This was an outcome of a 50% saving without the solar water heating system. The solar heating to the hospital is hoped to follow on availability of funding.
