Re: [Electric Boats] new solar panels (vacuum tubes)

 

The tech thinking is right .. PV panels work better when cool, thus
using them to heat stuff is a good idea.

Will they succeed ? Probably not.

Its a new startup, and 90% of startups fail.
Time will tell.

Best new idea I have heard in 10 years, is cooling/heating via water,
when storing power via compressor.
Theres a ted talk about it.

Solarsail is the company.

They get 70% round trip efficiency- and thats a HUGE deal.
Compressed air storage can scale to gw level, in theory.

Again, time will tell if they succeed.
