China’s 1 GW first and largest offshore solar farm. Over 3000 acres sits 5 miles off the coast. China has plenty of empty land in the western part but most of the demand is in the eastern part, so they have had to build hugely massive and expensive transmission lines to get the power to

The demand for electricity will be up to 40% more just for AI data centers. Steve Hanley’s sarcasm about watching Tik Tok videos are included, no extra charge. https://cleantechnica.com/2024/10/30/update-ai-data-centers-the-demand-for-electricity/amp/ Video of track vehicle cleaning snow off solar panels. https://www.facebook.com/memezarrr/videos/2897041153788366/?mibextid=9drbnH
Elon says he is not a businessman. https://www.facebook.com/reel/870111258512024/?mibextid=9drbnH Elon tells Joe Rogan we can power the whole USA with a giant solar array, a square of 100 miles by 100 miles. “”We have a giant fusion reactor in the sky.”” https://www.facebook.com/61552509624292/videos/514034091544699/?mibextid=9drbnH

Typical media overhyping a single incident. The solar farms are very safe, they almost never have a fire. But the mainstream media makes such an issue out of single incidents that it makes viewers think that this is common. But it’s not! https://www.facebook.com/reel/9165455713487056?mibextid=9drbnH
Researchers capture first ever images of electric charges across summit conductor materials within a solar cell. Times in picoseconds. https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2024/10/11/researchers-capture-first-ever-images-of-electric-charges-across-semiconductor-materials-within-a-solar-cell/t
Floating solar panels are called Floatovoltaics. Short video. Another floating solar farm in Utah, now complete. It’s a 587.5 kW array. Utah’s first floating solar farm is complete
Sam Evans the Electric Viking’s 13 min. video extolls the virtues of solar and how even more is being installed than last year. Predicted 593 Gigawatts! It’s even exceeding Tony Seba’s predictions.
This short uses a CD4026, a 7 segment display, 9V battery, some resistors, an IR LED and a CdS photocell or phototransistor. Break the IR beam and the display advances to the next digit. https://www.facebook.com/reel/525596709839365?mibextid=9drbnH
Global solar growth is on track for another record-breaking year. 593 gigawatts expected to be added by the end of this year. China leads by far with 56%. In the US, solar additions totaled 20 GW from January to June 2024, a 55% increase year-over-year. China, US, India, Germany and Brazil expected to account for
