Let’s grow our own fuel using sunlight!
One day we may plant forests of solar panels in towns and cities to harvest sunshine
As electric vehicles become the norm, thought needs to be given not only to ensuring there is ample charging infrastructure but to where the electricity that chargepoints dispense comes from. There are genuine concerns about the ability of the National Grid to connect up the thousands of chargepoint hubs expected to come online over the next decade. One solution could be found by looking heavenwards and tapping sunlight via the use of photovoltaic panels.
Harnessing solar power is a logical solution to filling in gaps in the electricity grid in that photovoltaic panel arrays on canopies can be connected to on-site storage batteries that can discharge solar energy collected when needed.
