Is The Sun The Future Of Energy?

I get up early and usually watch the BBC Breakfast programme.

On Sunday, this usually includes the short version of the BBC News on-line program Click.

Sometimes, it is rather wacky, but today they reported on something that will effect us all; solar power.

If you’d like to watch the short version of Click, it’s here on the BBC web site.

They have two segments that show the improvements coming in solar energy.

• In the first, the program shows how Oxford University are using better materials to improve the efficiency of panels.
• In the second, the program talked to a Swiss company called Insolight, who have developed a replacement panel that moves to focus the sun’s energy on highly-efficient tiny solar cells, which gives an efficiency of 36%.

Never underestimate the ingenuity of scientists and engineers to create a more efficient world.
