Advances In Solar Power Battery Storage

One of the usual arguments against solar energy is what do you do when the sun isn’t shining? You would use solar power battery storage. Solar power can charge up devices that look a lot like car engine batteries, only they are solar energy batteries. At night or whenever the sun isn’t shining, you would get your power needs fulfilled by the solar power battery storage system rather than directly from your solar panels.

Similar To Computer Technology

In the 1970's, it would have been impossible for anyone except the filthy rich to talk about getting solar power battery storage. Solar panels needed to be over thirty times larger than what they are today in order to generate the same amount of energy. As more and more money is now going into renewable energy technologies, don’t be surprised to see solar power battery chargers become smaller and more efficient.

In the 1970's, there was a very similar situation with computers. At the time, a computer was as big as a wall and pretty much could only crunch numbers and that was it. Their huge size made them very expensive. Now, you can find a computer in nearly every home in the Western world that can get hooked up to power. Even if they can’t get a computer, often their cell phones can get them onto the Internet.

With the financial stakes raised, much more brainpower has gone into solar power battery storage. Gradually, the size of solar panels are getting smaller and becoming more efficient. There is even a flexible roll-up mat of solar power panels available to recharge your cell phone, laptop or electric razor. No one thought of that in the 1970's because no one had reason to come up with it (and not just because cell phones and laptops weren't around yet).

The Electric Car Is Not Dead

Another idea from the 1970's has been given new life today – that of the electric car. At first, this was just so you didn’t need to use gas. But now, we know that eventually we need better means of recharging an electric car rather than relying on public utilities or commercial power stations. A solar power car battery is back on the boards.

A small version entails a solar power battery storage unit stuck into the car cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle. You plug in a small set of solar panels that can help recharge your car battery if you're stuck in the middle of nowhere. There are some models on the market, such as the 1.8 watt Solar Charger offered from Heartland America.
