A few materials scientists have, however, announced the discovery of a means to increase concentrated solar power efficiency, according to a paper published recently in the journal Nature by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Wisconsin — Madison and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Concentrated solar power systems generate power by concentrating a large area of sunlight onto a small area through the use of mirrors or lenses. Electricity is …
And at night or when snow, rain or clouds blot out the sun, the house or company relies on that same grid to deliver electricity from windmills, or from rushing water, or from natural-gas-fired turbines, or even from coal-fired generators. If not, then, like the toy panda, the house or business would stop “swinging.” And because you can’t turn large …

reader comments 116 With the price of photovoltaics having plunged dramatically, solar is likely to become a major contributor to the electrical generating mix in many countries. But the intermittent nature of photovoltaics could put a limit on how much they contribute to future grids or force us to develop massive storage capabilities. But photovoltaics aren’t the only solar technology …
