2023-11-07 Solar Floatovoltaics In The Ocean
Matt Undecided talks about solar PV floating on the ocean – it’s already being developed and scaled up in some countries. The big benefits are the solar panels stay cooler so they gain 4 to 7% in efficiency. And the panels reduce evaporation, saving water. And no land is needed or used. YouTube video.
2023-10-01 Parking Lots Becoming As Important As Cars In Climate Change Efforts
That’s what I was saying to the guys at our computer Club meeting today. The cities and educational institutions should be putting canopies covered with solar panels over their parking spaces, and solar panels on their roofs. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/03/parking-lots-becoming-as-important-as-cars-in-climate-change-efforts.html
2023-08-17 EVs Support Power Grid Reliability And Reduce Costs
The problem with the idea of becoming more independent from the grid is something that the utilities will fight tooth and nail to prevent. They don’t want to lose customers and have them go off the grid. So they want to keep the customers as dependent as possible. Doing it the “cut the cord” way

2022-06-01 Solar V. Wind In Tropical Africa
There are 2 problems with solar in the tropic zone. One is that there are a lot of very green trees that block the sunlight year round, and would have to be cut down to make room for the solar panels. Solar panels could be located in areas where there are no trees. But there
