You would not be wrong to assume that solar energy harvesting is still at an early stage of development. We have so much more to learn and experiment within this field. The Sun: The only natural source has tremendous potential, being a limitless source of energy. The Sun hits us with enough energy at [...]
Solar energy, like all other renewable energies, is very safe and environmentally friendly. It is as clean as a cloudless sky.
