Who are we?
Sunpetra is an Ontario based corporation engaged in the assembling, sale and distribution of solar energy equipments. Sunpetra is a firm believer in transitioning to renewable energy in our Homes, offices, workplaces, farms etc. is the need of the time. Solar energy and appropriate technology to produce, store and distribute the solar energy is the future of the business.
Sunpetra provide solar solutions by assessing your needs and smooth capital layout plan. We Design all the layout of energy prospectus for your home office farm or factory. We advise the rebates available from different agencies as well as we train how to maintain the system.
What is solar energy?
Solar energy may be termed as the electricity or solar power which is generated from the direct light of Sun. Solar radiations or solar power emitted from sun not only support life on earth, but is also technically can be assumed as one of the most efficient and affordable forms of energy available today. The amount of power the Sun deposits per unit area which is exposed directly to sun light is termed as solar constant. This solar constant which is equal to approximately 1370 watts per square meter at a distance of one AU (astronomical unit)from the Sun (150 million kms).Since Earth’s atmosphere attenuate the sunlight thus the amount of power is approximated closer to 1,000 watts per directly exposed square meter in clear conditions.
Why solar energy?
Solar energy is clean and is without harmful pollutants. There is no dangerous chemicals released into the environment while producing solar energy. Sunlight via a variety of natural and synthetic processes is captured by plants and converts it to chemical form (oxygen and reduced carbon compounds) termed as photosynthesis .
A whole lot more of this energy can be used for direct heating or for electrical conversion. Solar heaters, solar collectors, solar panels or sun petras are used to harness the solar energy . these solar power equipments needed to generate electricity or create hot water or hot air etc to do useful work for industry or residential use are now widely visible and getting popular.
The energy stored in fossil fuels and petroleum was also originally converted from sunlight by photosynthesis in the distant past. These fossil fuels which permeate all sectors of this planets economy. has been used extensively making our natural resources more scarce and more costly as well as we have compromised our ability of industrial and agriculture production or imperil feeding of billions of human beings and livestock. these fossil fuels has become not only the median of our global development but also a constant reason in deployment of military resources .our fossil fuel dependence takes approximately 400 gallons of oil equivalent annually to feed each individual in north America and may be unsustainable.
Thus We need a consistent effective and continued effort to utilise this biggest source of energy ever the sun. The earth receives as much energy from sunlight in twenty days as the planet’s entire reserves of fossil fuels contains. It is a common miss-conception that Canada does not get enough solar energy or is too cold for solar thermal heating. To the contrary, Canada is very suitable for the use of solar energy Canada gets more sun energy than Germany, where over 1 million solar thermal systems are already installed and are reliably performing their functions.
