Dale Said:

What are the waste by-products of solar energy?

We Answered:

Heat.

There is radiation, but most of the hard radiation (ultraviolet and worse) is filtered out by the atmosphere before it reaches the surface of the earth.

Darryl Said:

non conventiona energy products like solar energy, wind energy, bio-gas etc?

We Answered:

Sorry, but you will fail as a dealer of anything. Entrepreneurs do not expect other people to do their homework for them.

Engineers - is it feasible to use solar energy to power a system that converts corn products to ethanol?

We Answered:

I would like to say yes but at this point I would have to say no. I worked at an ethanol pilot plant and anyone in the industry can tell you to break down starch in the corn you need what they call a jet cooker. This uses high pressure steam at appx 400-600F. There is no way in hell solar panels could heat water to this temperature effeciently and consistently. Plus a lot of ethanol plants run 24 hours a day and that right there pretty much shoots that plan in the ***. A good thought though. Ethanol will become more effecient once the enzyme industry catches up and can CHEAPLY use switchgrass as a fuel source.
