but you can die from playing with electric powers

shocking electric powers that can hurt you

once again, people speak without having ANY real knowledge
on the subject.

the part about solar power and that, isn't the panels, or
the land, etc.

it's GETTING THE POWER BACK TO WHERE IT IS NEEDED / USED.

distribution / transmission lines / power grids; that is the
important and limiting factor, here.

jeez, do you think no one has thought of that ?

oh wait... (HVDC) is mentioned at the bottom.

High voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission lines are
seen as the most efficient way to move electricity over long
distances without incurring the losses experienced in
alternating current (AC) power lines. HVDC cables can carry
more power for the same thickness of cable compared with AC
lines but are only suited to long distance transmission as
they require expensive devices to convert the electricity,
usually generated as AC, into DC. Modern HVDC cables can
keep energy losses down to around 3% per 1,000km. HVDC can
also be used to transfer electricity between different
countries that might use AC at differing frequencies. HVDC
cables can also be used to synchronise AC produced by
renewable energy sources.

we should have one personal solar panel each, nuff said.

thats a great idea...to allow the public to pay for a
personal solar panel instead of fossil fuel/nuclear
electric.. we use electric everywhere super markets pubs
..etc ...so to buy your panel and place it in the best
possition; in a desert would help fund the project too.

what we dont want is to pay for these panels and pay monthly
like we do for electric and water and gas.. solar should be
free once in place.

making it so very much a nice idea for many reasons ... some
people are looking to profit from this, there always is.
Cant we make this project a wonderful honest progression
into a kind respectful world? the public should own the
panels we pay for them!! hahaha im i missing something??! !

I saw something (honestly) about a spaceship/satelite thing
that has a huge circular disc for catching solar rays. It
inflates into a huge solar panel that's closer to the sun
and sends the energy down somehow. I saw it on some kind of
documentary 3-4 years ago. sounds good but strange.

yeah man via microwaves

i heard about a space elevator taking loads of panels up
...but something that inflates or unfolds woud be awesome.

microwaves are freaking dangerous tho...so they'd need to be
sent to a substation miles out to sea or somting?!? but
yeah take energy from space avoid the atmosphere.

hey !! one over the north pole cast a shadow to keep it
cool! :P hahaa

if we humans can make 1.2 billion childrens malibu stacy
dolls ...we can make solar panels.

I think solar cells arent efficient enough to buy off, its
not cheap technology. It takes long time to buy off, and it
is the only problem we have with this technology. I think no
one wants to invest in such projects, when is another ways
to get quick money.

There is another technology about witch i dont know much its
"spherical solar cells".
