Where is the Solar Energy Stored in Solar Impulse

Solar energy is stored as electric energy in batteries and potential energy in plane altitude.

Why are "Molten Salts" a good solar energy storage media?

ari is excited about the bedroom storage

I want to use Molten Salts to transfer solar heat from a parabolic dish to a storage tank, then to a stirling engine driving an electric generator. Please provide details on how to transfer the salt/heat in this scenario. Thanks.
Thanks for...

Explain why it would be necessary for a home using solar energy to have some type of an energy storage divice.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because of night.

The sun sets and does not shine for part of the day, that's the primary reason. The secondary reason is because rainy and cloudy days may not provide enough sunlight.

When sun doesn't shine, the...

Do you believe i have design a camera which records solar energy as movie and has unlimited storage cap?

coming soon?

You have mastered the art of marketting hyperbole -- or you have developed something entirely new.

To answer your question, no, I don't believe it.

"Unlimited storage cap" rings too much of hype. Also, the...

where is a site to learn how to make and store solar energy?

want to set up my RV with solar. Want to save energy in my house and start with storage of solar energy

Thermal energy storage can refer to a number of technologies that store energy in a thermal reservoir for later reuse. They can be employed to balance energy demand between day time and night time. The thermal reservoir may be maintained at a...

Financing a Solar Self-Storage Project

Some see renewable energy as the most recent fad, embraced by hippies and environmentalists, but the reality for many self-storage owners is solar just makes economic sense. Climate-controlled units that produce obscene electricity bills mixed with an abundance of roof space create an ideal environment to invest in solar energy. Throw in federal, state and utility-based incentives, and you can generate a pretty nice return on investment.

The hurdle for many, however, remains the upfront capital costs and the question, “How am I going to pay for this?” With costs in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, occasionally approaching millions, it’s difficult to imagine funding such a project with cash. Alas, not to worry storage owners, there are several ways to either forego capital expenditures completely or finance the installation using traditional debt and equity.
