  • turns out its just 15 hours but nevertheless...

  • @rvrola u can use solar thermal energy to melt a salt mix that can be used to run a turbine(via steam), or it can be stored in an insultaed tank for days. that means u can have a constant output even days after the input is stopped.

    there is one under construction in spain or portugal afaik, check it out.

  • WHAT ABOUT WHEN THE SUN IS NOT OUT? WHEN ITS NIGHT TIME, WHEN ITS A CLOUDY DAY, A RAINY DAY, A SNOWY DAY. THE BENEFIT IS NOT CONSTANT COMPARED TO NUCLEAR FUSHION. AIRCRAFT CARRIERS DON'T USE SOLAR PANELS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT RELIABLE AND WORK ONLY HALF THE TIME PLUS THEY NEED TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF ENERGY SO THEY USE NUCLEAR POWER. SUBMARINES TOO USE NUCLEAR POWER AND THEY ARE ALL SAFE. SO WHY SPEND TAX MONEY ON THIS THAT WORK ONLY HALF THE TIME. THIS ONLY BENEFITS GE AND THEIR BUDDIES.

  • this can replace fossil fuels

  • stop talking im a potatoe

  • solar power is the most intresting power source. it fuses many sciences, including astronomy, physics, cemistry, and metherology.

  • if you really want to make something work here it is take a parabolic solar concentrator and send light into a mirrored cone shape focal point then send that light into mirrored glass tubing which will send the light into a mirrored box with solar panels in it the solar panels must be cooled by spinning or cooling system.now get to work

  • Thanks for posting this information. I believe so much that solar power is the future of our society that I wrote a song about it, Sun Power Me, by Ben Sage. Please give it a listen when you can.

  • can you get that guy to come to NC? haha

  • If you brouze for one hour, you will get 12 ads per hour; -- one every five minutes or so.

    Terrible.
