How long can countries depend on their energy storages?

For years, hydropower, coal and gas have been the primary sources of producing energy worldwide. Countries have now started to adopt the newer methods using intermittent sources of power like solar and wind. Due to these sources, the need of energy storage has increased especially because now grid-scale power dams, coal, natural gas and nuclear is not the source. These sources are quite useful but there are challenges like during the night and when weather is cloudy or there is no wind blowing. Due to these challenges energy stored in the energy storages will have to be utilized in order to run communities, businesses and hospitals.

How Do Solar Panels Work?

Solar power has grown at a rapid rate of the last decade and is evolving to an affordable green energy option for citizens worldwide. To give you an idea of how much solar energy has skyrocketed, in 2008 there was around 2 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity generated by solar power alone. Ten years later solar power generated over 93 billion kilowatt-hours! Solar energy has grown on the commercial side with large solar panel farms and also on the consumer side with rooftop solar panels. Knowing the basics of how it works is important.

The 20 Largest Solar Power Plants in the World by Capacity

Solar power is converted energy from the sun that is then used for thermal heating purposes or electricity to power homes or commercial businesses. It is the cleanest and most widely available green energy resource. Solar power can be generated without the use of energy monopolies, without worrying about rising energy prices or fear of price fluctuations due to international political relations. It will also never run out (in our lifetime anyway). Solar power is a sustainable, reliable and affordable green energy.

Countries With the Highest Shares of Renewable and Solar Energy

Renewable energy has been the most resilient form of energy since the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown began. In the first quarter of 2020 the global use of renewable energy increased 1.5%.  Bills are being passed through legislation in Australia and America to end the sale of non-electric vehicles by 2035. Wind power is estimated to have had the largest increase among all renewables in 2020 due to new farms and projects around the globe.

U.S. Cities With the Most Solar Energy Potential

Solar energy has become more popular than ever over the last several years. Due to it being an affordable and easily implemented alternative for an energy source, more and more households across America are making the switch. As the growth of solar power has increased across America, the costs have decreased quite a bit. In fact, since 2014 alone, the cost of solar panels has seen a 50% decrease, which is a large part there are now enough solar installations in the country to power 12 million homes.
