Solar energy is quickly becoming a viable options these days. With the push for electric cars and other connected devices that all demand for from our electrical grids it should be obvious to a lot of people that the need for residential solar solutions will grow over time. While it may seem slow today, it will certainly grow at an exponential rate. So let’s go over some of the potential hiding behind these solar panel solutions

Space

A lot of people talk about how solar solutions will require so much land that could be potentially used for other things such as agriculture or housing. But what many people fail to realize is that solar arrays don’t actually have to take up much land at all. With millions of home across the United States already, why clear out fields for solar panels when we can all just place panels on homes instead. On top of this simple solution to bring solar across the world, or at least the world that has some form of permanent housing, there are also options for agricultural systems as well. Whether we’re talking about electronically controlled panels that could cover or expose crops to optimal levels of sunlight to the potential of using our giant farm equipment as solar arrays themselves. It’s clear that space is hardly an issue when it comes to solar. Now of course, part of this solution adds a level of complexity to solar arrays…
