Is solar paint on the market yet?
Does anyone watch "Nova"? I see where Germany is way ahead of us for solar power (and has gotten the price of solar panels down to a reasonable cost there), and that Holland is self sufficient. I see where India is beginning to use solar.
Answer:
The last I heard was that the photovoltaic paint is not yet perfected. But soon, they say, and why wouldn't they?
The largest solar panel producer in USA is German, FYI.
India is also investing in wind turbines to make electricity so that they can desalinate water which they need desperately. Only 1/3 of the population has water that they can drink or bath in. Most of the water there is diverted to agriculture.
I thought the real obstacle was the batteries. I saw Ed Begley Jr on TV at his house that's mostly solar powered and he spent most the time trying to get it to work.
I wish solar power was more viable. When it is we'll know about it.
The cleanest and safest power source is nuclear. That's why countries like France are putting them up all over.
Its still experimental--and while ts promising, its not at the stage wheere the developers are sure it's commoercially practical (i.e. cost-effective, reliable, etc.).
But there are a LOT of technologies coming through the pipeline-including a variety of innovations in solar energy. We're going to have a revolution in that area in the next decade.
Holland has little or no solar power, and if you have ever been there you would know this. They do, however, have a very large number of wind farms.
