Now that scientists can look at events the happen on a femtosecond time scale, they will be able to fully understand how plants convert sunlight into energy. Will this improve our solar energy technology?
Very high efficiency, a cell the size of a dime makes about 40w of power in direct sunlight. No water needed, and way less land than bigger, less efficient panels. http://emcore.com/solar_photovoltaics/terrestrial_concentrator_photovoltaic_arrays Ben, every tech Ive found is worse, yes the… Continue Reading
I just read this article about how solar energy is environmentally friendly but, at this time, is often too expensive especially in urban areas. Because a satellite is able to have sunlight all the time it uses solar power to… Continue Reading
What evidence supports the idea that products of solar can provide a significant proportion of energy demand in the future? Does everybody agree with that evidence? Solar energy has been best developed in areas having high sunlight and low cloud… Continue Reading
I have a couple questions about Solar Panels for houses or even energy farms: 1. What are the different types? explain what they are? 2. Which type is the best? Why? How much better? Or can you tell me in… Continue Reading
does anyone know (on average) how much energy solar power creates per one hour of sunlight (like one hour of sunlight creates an X amount of kilowatts)…and also the same thing for wind power (like how much wind is needed… Continue Reading
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I have 2 identical 6V 5ah batteries (less than a month old) wired in series (to produce 12V). I connected them to a new charge controller which kills the load until battery charge… Continue Reading
