Your Questions About Solar Energy Calculator
Mandy asks…
Where has the application of solar energy been most successful… in calculators/watches, space or elsewhere?
I used to have a solar calculator in the 80’s which I thought was great!
I’d love for solar energy to be commercially successful but I just don’t see how it can compete in a global market as your energy costs will just rocket up which makes your country uncompetitive, etc. unless you can globally green tax the CO2 based energies but Nuclear will still easily win!
So what future can solar have in a global warmed world?

I think solar power will one day be perfectly feasible and able to power devices which require a lot less power then they do currently (think of the different power requirement for light between an incandescent lightbulb and quantum dots for example).
I think the insane part, though, is when people assume that you can somehow force solar and wind on to the country and world as a whole when it is nowhere near at the stage when it can supply the electricity we need. Nuclear is the only sensible way to go for power at this moment, unless you want to go back to coal.

When solar and wind can compete genuinely, then they will win naturally.

Maria asks…
can you charge batteries with solar at the same time using the batteries?
like the solar powered calculator, it switches automatically from battery and solar. this is a yes or no question. If you know how to that would be even better.
admin answers:
Yes, that is how battery based solar systems work. The charge controller manages putting the energy from the solar panels in the battery, while the inverter converts it to AC and allows appliances to run off it.
