Salt breakthrough could halve the cost of storing solar energy One of the biggest difficulties with wind or solar energy is finding a good way to store it. Lithium-ion batteries are too expensive and need frequent replacing. Molten salt is a more efficient solution — but it tends to be better for storing heat rather … Continue reading #Salt breakthrough could halve the cost of storing solar energy
Batteries begin storing wind and solar energy for the Texas grid Conventional wisdom maintains that wind and solar power depend on affordable energy storage, and until battery prices drop, the United States will rely on natural gas and coal-fired power plants. A few years ago, most analysts thought it would take decades, but the clean … Continue reading Batteries begin storing wind and solar energy for the Texas grid
Virginia Becoming The Industry Leader In Solar Energy Production Although Virginia is often subject to unseasonable weather conditions that leave the atmosphere of the Commonwealth damp and cloudy, solar energy, usually located in more sunny, arid states is gaining massive traction. In the last few years, Virginia has become a leader in the solar energy … Continue reading #Virginia Becoming The Industry Leader In Solar Energy Production
