Ramona,

if you would really own a house, you would appreciate those PV panels.
My last information is that the clear panels gain ca. 75 Wpeak / m²
(if you are using the Imperial measuring system, please calculate the change to Joule per sqare banana).
Normal panels have ca. 200Wpeak / m²

Why are you so mad about storing energy?
You charge your mobil phone and your iPods, you fill up the car and the lawn mower, maybe, you have an electric toothbrush.

Albeit - no you don't. You sit in your cave like a Cromagnon and cry about high energy prices. Right?

Vicy,

Just curious but what is the material used to make the "glass" is it truly silica based? Also I understand that any alternative energy source will need batteries to store the energy. Has anyone considered the effects of strip-mining for the minerals to make them? Most of the ingredients are toxic and end up in the water systems during the process. So I guess it's a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Abiel,

nearly everything about oil or gas exploration, producing, transporting, refining again transporting is much worse to the enviroment and then it has to be burned to release the energy.
more than six times as bad

Abiel,

australiansolarquotes.com.au/blog/2015/04/25/solar-electric-generators-designed-
by-msu/

the glass is really made of glass and diverts ligt to the edge of the window (after filtering/changing the wave lenght)

Due the concentration, this works also on darker days or partial shadowed windows.

As I wrote: They reach actually 5% gain and are heading for 7%.
So, the sun "sends" 1'000 Wpeak / m² and 7% are 70W / m²

As "Heather" (my real name isn't also Vicy) already wrote: It's much dirtier to use fossile energgy and you will send money to ruSSia or other terror states.

Abiel, there are many ways to store energy that doesn't include chemicals. (And better batteries are being developed all the time; the goal is to not need expensive/dangerous/dirty to mine minerals, etc)

Pumping water back up into the basin for hydroelectric plants is one way. Heated salts is another. Of course, converting energy always comes at a cost, and each have their drawbacks. But they are all better (although some still not practical) than burning fossil fuels.

Vicy,
The more transparent such a panel is, the less energy it can possibly receive…

#4 These are some brave women. I just read an article about them, and the poachers will kill them without even thinking twice.

#25 I'm betting this person is very sorry they did that. Cashews are in the family Anacardiaceae, the same family that contains Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, and Poison Sumac. All parts of the plant except for the nut contain urushiol, a toxic and persistent skin irritant. Ever wondered why you've never seen cashews in the shell? This is why.

Arry,

I knew something seemed odd about #25, now I remember why.

#39 Do NOT touch those. They produce contact venom causing severe skin irritation and with children kidney and liver failure.

#9 This location was already an abandoned car yard around 2009. No earthquake, tsunami, or nuclear accident had anything to do with it.
