Not really, but I know a bit about the technology around this (but not a lot!). The domestic market for solar panels is certainly moving toward commercial applications for electrical storage. This seems obvious as for much of the year we live and work away from the home during the day, and use...

A leisure battery will store energy in the chemical compounds that make up the anode (typically zinc), cathode (typically copper) and electrolyte (typically SO4 sulphate). These can be charged and discharged thus giving you electrical storage. It's not electricity that is stored though, just the...

The solar collectors proposed in desert regions are generally not solar panels like you have on a roof, they are mirrors which concentrate the suns rays onto a specific point, the collector, which generates heat which generates energy. These are called Concentrated Solar Power 'CSP' plants. In...

It is very frustrating because the technology is there. While we're led to believe that a new generation of nuclear power is our only answer, the real answer rises in the East every single morning. It is mind numbingly painful to understand the amount of energy that lands on every square meter...

If there was worldwide political will you could do this. The energy loop could not only supply much of the world with electrical power, a by product of keeping the mirrors clean would be using some of the energy created to desalinate sea water. That process can in turn enable crops to grow in a...
