Continuing Strides in the Research and Technology of Solar Energy
Current research in solar energy ha much to do with technological options and test facilities - we could figure out more about generating solar heat into energy if we had even more space in which to do so.
For example: The "Power Tower"
The power tower is a system of generating solar power by method of a large sequence of mirrors. The mirrors can then, when in the correct position, generate a vast amount of heat. Heat is then the vessel between light and energy. The technology has allowed these power towers to track the path of sunlight that will generate the most heat.
This prototype, the amazing power station, unfortunately emphasizes the centralized system of generating energy.
Of course, there are many other types of research out there that continue to improve our ability to collect and power. We may perhaps be nearing the day when virtually everything can be powered wit some kind of solar light. Other methods, more democratic methods for obtaining solar energy are being technology improved as we speak.
Everything from glass panels to mirrors to extreme interior design, solar power must be compacted and contained. The challenge, of course, is and always will be the method of transforming sunlight into energy by collecting the solar cells prove to us that are decentralized by nature. If solar cells function only a when gathered and condensed they must be controlled.
Failing to collect enough solar cells, naturally results in failure to generate solar power into any significant amount of solar energy. Things such as solar powered lights, pool heaters, home systems, solar ovens and more, however, are already in our grasp, so try a solar energy system. You will be glad you did.
