Comparing the BEST Solar Panels of 2022
With the exit of LG Solar from the solar panel manufacturing industry, homeowners are having to focus on lesser known solar panel manufactures like @Q CELLS North America and @RECGroupMedia. As a certified partner for both these great companies, it only made sense that we do a video comparing the latest generations. —— free solar… Continue reading Comparing the BEST Solar Panels of 2022
Plants vs Solar Panels: Which is better at capturing solar energy? | We The Curious
Photosynthesis or photovoltaics? Leaves or solar panels? Which is better at capturing the energy from sunlight? Heather and Beth of the Live Science Team investigate the similarities and differences between these two processes, both powered by the Sun. Find out more about the making of the Energy Tree: This video was presented by: Heather Nichol… Continue reading Plants vs Solar Panels: Which is better at capturing solar energy? | We The Curious
Solar Panels UK: Are they worth it?
Try my solar panel cost calculator: The specific system I mentioned in the video might or might not be available in your area, and prices do vary, so it’s best to get multiple quotes to get a feel for costs. Other tools mentioned in the video: – Solar ROI calculator: pvcalc Installing solar panels seems… Continue reading Solar Panels UK: Are they worth it?
Concentrated Solar Power Simple Explanation
In this video, I give a simple explanation on how Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) works. This is the type of solar power that uses thousands of mirrors over hundreds of acres to reflect sunlight on a tower. This heats up molten salt to over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The heated molten salt then creates steam from… Continue reading Concentrated Solar Power Simple Explanation
