Also bear in mind that advancements are coming in the form of more efficient solar panels such as #Perovskites #Kesterites
Solar coated with #Graphine. #ThermalSolar
Make sure your loved ones aren't operating on out of date priors about intermittent renewables: tell them batteries are now an economical supplement generating full time dispatchable power from them.

That's a neat website! That maybe useful for the lecture on emerging solar technologies that I am giving. Lots of perovskite, kesterites, and chalcopyrites in that one.

Kesterite solar cells are gaining momentum as a low-cost, non-toxic photovoltaic technology. This Review discusses recent performance gains and the potential for use in next-generation tandem solar cells.
Kesterite materials for photovoltaics - Nature Reviews Clean Technology
Kesterites have re-emerged as a promising earth-abundant thin-film photovoltaic technology. This Review describes how advances in crystallization control, defect suppression, atomic ordering and rear-interface engineering could enable progress to efficiencies that surpass 20%

6/ By combining accurate Cp measurements and analysis, we hope our study offers fresh insights into kesterites' thermo-physical properties. Now I understand more about Cp and its implications, and I'm grateful to my co-authors for that. I've learned a lot from this study.

2/ This study focuses on the specific heat capacity (Cp) of polycrystalline Cu2+xZn1−xSnS4 kesterite, a promising material for energy applications. Our analysis revealed significant discrepancies in Cp values reported for polycrystalline kesterites.

Renewable power sources, up until 2024, amounted to 20% of our national grid. We now have the capability to blow past that number with several technologies. #Solar #Perovskites #Kesterites #ThermalSolar

#Wind #OmniDirectionalWind #SWT #O-Wind

#Tide
#PowerNEST which combines technologies.

WHEN OBVIOUSLY, he doesn't need to.
Advances in #Solar #Perovskites and now #Kesterites are propelling solar beyond the 30% efficiency realm.
If #Wind turbines can sustain almost 50% of the UK,it can benefit Americans on the power grid.
Other advances like #PowerNEST, #OmniDirectionalWind,
