  • Great video!

  • Interesting video. Solar energy is definitely the most versatile source of energy till date.

  • Very informative video! Solar energy has become a popular method of generating power due to fluctuating oil prices. The United States is working on a number of renewable energy projects that will promote the development of solar power. The wind and solar industries are projected to triple in 10 years and employ 2.6 million people. Hence companies like Pacific Crest Transformers is working in this direction. It manufactures energy-efficient transformers for a range of industry verticals.

  • Cool, thought provoking video.  Excellent music. Had me dancing in my chair. lol

    Now to be the "bad guy." While I'm very interested in solar power, it concerns me that we as consumers don't have any control over the materials - solar panel parts, wiring, etc. - and the cost of these materials could sky rocket overnight or become hard to find in the future. Alternatives: one Youtuber uses large mirrors outside to warm his home; solar ovens, etc. Ran out of space to type.

    Your thoughts?

  • Excellent! It's the feature video on my channel and to see you made this when in 9th grade is quite telling...

  • could you write me the links to the first six pictures?

  • i like the music!

  • SO EFFICIENT YOU KNOW CAUSE ITS NOT LIKE THE SUN CAN CREATE LARGE STORMS THAT AFFECT THE EARTH AND RUIN EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL SUCH AS PAGERS FOR DOCTORS, MEANING PATIENTS DIEING, MEANING i like men

  • Thanks for the comments guys...I was in ninth grade when I made this, and not entirely bright upon the subject. This video was a small attempt to not get kicked out of the class...it didn't work. I'm surprised that so many people have seen it, as it only was a tiny project for a tiny school in a tiny town.

  • i really liked it..were all like children trying to understand and improve the world around us. we are a little better and worse than our fathers. all we can hope is that our children are a little wiser then us. natural progression..good job. if you talk about solar your helping save the human race. we can't destroy the world only ourselves.

  • Please help me network with nonprofits working on solar/wind energy for practical applications in providing accessible cooking/health care technologies for poor women and girl children in the Philippines - CENTER FOR COMMUNITY WORK AND PEOPLE'S DEVELOPMENT in Manila

  • BizzleNJ has the right idea - greater localization. It is very costly to store or transport energy. Batteries are very costly to produce and have a short lifespan.

    Solar cells work on cloudy days just at a lower level of energy production. Whereas wind power requires a minimum wind (10+ MPH) to function.

    Photovoltaic material can be produced for almost all needs: panels, curtains, roof tiles, etc. Further innovation and use will bring the cost down greatly.

  • nice, but some minor errors: PV is not made of metal plates and concern about land area is not necessary (the planet's area could supply 14,000 times the world's energy consumption)

  • 2. This may be true, but large plants are not really the best application for solar energy. The preffered application would be solar panels for every building. This reduces cost per k/w which would be high in remote plant scenarios.

  • 1.) a. Storage. In most cases more energy could be produced than could be used at any given time. Store the extra energy in batteries. b. Other sources of energy. After extensive research for a college term paper, I learned that the goal of powering the earth with alternative energy can only be succesfull if many different forms of renewables are used. Wind and Htdro-electric/Water Current plants could make up the difference.

  • Your Cons are more like inconveiniences really.
