Solar Power Breakthrough Stores Energy For Later Use
-
“Within 10 years, homeowners could power their homes in daylight with photovoltaic cells, while using excess solar energy to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water to power a household fuel cell. If the new process developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology finds acceptance in the marketplace, electricity-by-wire from a central source could be a thing of the past.” ~ ENS

Wow! This is exciting to be able to make solar power more feasible and affordable. I’m waiting on the arrival of this technology.
It’s amazing how we’ve not taken advantageof the sun’s power. I didn’t realize the following fact from the article:
”
In one hour, enough sunlight strikes the Earth to provide the entire planet’s energy needs for one year. “
