Solar Energy

1. How many main types of clouds are there?

3

2. Can clouds increase solar irradiance reaching a photovoltaic?

No, it decreases.

3. Do solar towers that produce energy from the sun work at night?

No they don't because they use direct iradiance, and the isn't any at night.

4. Which of the three (or combination of) types of solar irradiance do photovoltaics use?

All three

5. Which one the countries below has the highest solar irradiance potential?

Germany

6. Is solar energy the solution?

It could be, if we were able to pronosticate the position of the clouds.

7. Should more focus be given to better and cheaper batteries to store energy for household use?

Yes because that way we could store te energy obtained at sunny days.

8. If satellite imaging was open-data, and anyone could access it, would that increase the use of solar energy systems?

Yes it would.

9. How would the world, as we know it, change, if free energy was available for all?

It would be less contaminated..
