May not be lower cost overall but definitely lower emissions and better for the environment

fact: the sun gives us more energy in one day than the entire world uses in one year.

SOLAR energy is long term investment this will return your money within 5 years and the warranty of solar panel is 25 years

and no possible way to absorb all that energy


even if it was possible, there isn't enough money combined from all people on Earth to build something like thath

we are using only 30% percent energy other 70% percent energy is wasted every day

In future new technique will come that we can absorb moon energy

Solar is a great form of renewable energy.  It won't meet all of our needs, but it's good in combination with other sources.  In the past, typical solar cells have only been able to capture about 10-15% of the energy of the light that hits them.  But with increased interest in recent years, scientists and engineers have been able to design much more efficient cells.  I think I've read that they've been able to make some that are over 40% efficient in the laboratory.  If they can mass-produce those, then solar energy will probably become a lot cheaper.

In future new technique will come that we can absorb moon energy

moon energy?

what kind of energy does the moon give o.O

Cheese?

incorrect. the earth has plenty of surface area to absorb energy, all we need is infrastructure. it won't be cheap, but planning and building current infrastructure wasn't cheap either. it can be done but big energy companies don't want it to happen.

From what I read and heard, it is not an efficient way to save electricity due to the cost of the panels.

It is a shame because it sounds like it would make the world a better place and it would be cheaper electricity bills for all!

You aren't making yourself really clear. There is no known way for us to do it right now, but is it possible? Yes it is.
The problem is that not enough money is being put into researching this. Imagine if 99% of the worlds energy was Solar energy.

expensive as hell

yes, but not impossible. we have money to develop nuclear powered war ships and fancy jets that fly faster than the speed of sound. we can afford it but the energy companies don't want it and lobby to prevent it.

I use unpressurized solar water heater 150 liter with evacuated tubes. Is cheap and work OK.

[247crypto]

Expensive??
My solar water heater cost €350, if self installed.

i'd love to install solar pads on my home, but for now, it's really not cost effective.

Tell me cost of hot water for 5 Years in Your Home  

I have now 150 liter of water at 71 C° for free. And in Summer is normal 90-97 C°.

but making the whole world run on solar power

wouldn't that make the electricity much more expensive?

Depends on the return on investment time, many claim around 5 years which would mean electricity prices could in theory be reduced to maintenance and infrastructure costs in that time, ie. a small fraction of current prices. Imho that's overly optimistic but it should certainly be possible for equatorial cities to get to that state within 20.

That's the main reason that we aren't using that much solar.
Or that they are thinking about is ROI and profiting.

[Cryptopher]

We have a solar panel installed on the roof of the house - this is in England of all places. It's alright, heats up the water nicely for showers. Obviously not enough to rely on but works well. It was installed on the property before we bought it, not sure if I would have taken the plunge personally.

Part of it is the initial investment cost.  Another part is that your weather and longitude matter.  You can't power a city on solar power when half the days of the year are cloudy, or if the sun is low on the horizon a good part of the day.  I've heard more like 20 years ROI, but it depends on where it's located, how efficient and expensive the panels are, etc.

Hydro is the big green energy resource.

Solar and Wind are minor.

This site has a Free Clean Energy movement that actually makes practical sense and they list lots of major countries that are over 50% Hydro now. China has a lot of Hydro plants under construction. Green Clean and Free may be the future of Energy. They go by GREPA

www.Grepa.org

Cool concept, that we support 100% like Bitcoin. Bitcoin and Grepa may be two pivotal movements in human development.

What about those people around here talking about those solar-streets? I guess that's nothing new, though... Those things also still need to be developed further. I mean, they'll have to endure great stress over a long time - something you can't just simulate in a lab. Also, they get dirty. Very dirty. There's a reason why streets are black

I've also heard of something like solar cell paint.  You can just apply the stuff to whatever you want to turn it into a solar collecting source: walls, roofs, etc.  If they could make that cheap and efficient, that would really be something.
