What is Solar Power? | National Geographic 

Sun worship better than made up god worship

Mi Looks like you're first, so you get a Crown: 👑 You can trade it for a Sun to praise if you'd like. It's right here: ☀️

Need more energy than panels on buildings can make.

okay bro.

Larry E that means pause it so you can read and after you are done you can unpause it

lol

Ides385 the size of texas would cover the whole worlds needs bud

Exactly the efficiency conversion just isn't there to meet energy needs! Nuclear Power baby!

If you look at unrealistic figures they might make it sound great, but they are unrealistic. First most calculation figure peak production, when realistically you will rarely be at peak production. For about half the day you will be at 0% production and will be lucky to be at 80% production at high noon. That percent wanes at all other hours of the day. On a cloudy day you will really get poor production. Second, area calculations also rarely take into consideration the service roads, facilities, distribution centers and storage plants needed for all those solar panels. Finally the biggest issue is the power storage. You must store that massive amount of energy somehow and we are simply lagging in that area. I worked for an assessment center and I assisted one of my co-workers on his thesis. To sum it up, it's not a solution yet. If it was people a lot smarter than you and me that have money would be springing these things up everywhere.

Homes are nothing compared to what plants and manufacturing facilities need. Not only do they need lots of energy through the day, their large equipment requires huge demands to start up. Most homes also use solar to subsidize only because it isn't feasible as the only power source.
