Scientists storing Solar Energy for Future use Researchers in Sweden work on how to efficiently store solar energy in a chemical liquid which can be transported and then released as heat whenever needed. Francis Maguire reports. … [Read more...]
Solar Panels Explained
What are solar Panels? Solar panels or Solar modules are man made panels which use the property of certain material to produce DC electricity when light falls on them. It so happens that in these materials the electrons that orbit the atoms enhance the energy level when photons (light particles) of the solar or any other light fall on them. This energy is released … [Read more...]
