Your Questions About Solar Generators For Home Use
Nancy asks…
Where does energy come from in the state of Hawaii?
90% of the houses in Iceland use geothermal energy only. Why doesn’t Hawaii invest more in geothermal energy usage? How come solar and wind power haven’t caught on in Hawaii either?

Sandra asks…
Why are “Molten Salts” a good solar energy storage media?
I want to use Molten Salts to transfer solar heat from a parabolic dish to a storage tank, then to a stirling engine driving an electric generator. Please provide details on how to transfer the salt/heat in this scenario. Thanks.
Thanks for the links, that’s where I got the idea in the first place. My question is how to transfer the heat from the collector to the storage tank, and if convective heat transfer is enough to keep the storage tank charged. I’ve read that pumps are needed, but how can you pump a 1000 degree molten liquid? What kind of piping/pumps are needed?
