Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

This is the arrow mind rooftop wind energy system rated at five kilowatts, scientists have been developing this wind system, which could apparently outperform solar panels. In many applications, reports have been floating around stating that it can generate 50% more electrical energy than solar panels for the same cost. However, Arrow minds own reports […]

This episode of real engineering is brought to you by brilliant. The problem solving website that teaches you to think like an engineer, installed global capacity of solar cells has increased year on year for the past decade, fueled by the plummeting prices and rising efficiency of solar cells, forcing fossil fuel producers out of […]

Hello, and welcome back to the channel. I’m EVM. And today I want to talk about my favorite subject to get in saving money. It was get little emotional when I’m talking about this. Specifically though solar panels installed on your roof here in the UK, the price of electricity has rocketed, it will go […]

This video is brought to you by brilliant thanks to a 70% drop in prices 2010 and plenty of government subsidies, solar panels have become an integral part of the utility grid, as well as many of our home rooftops. However, this renewable energy technology isn’t all sunshine. There’s shadows that are looming over its […]

Solar panels are probably one of our best chances to break free from the strangling grasp of fossil fuels, but they’re still very much in need of improvement. The lifespan of a typical solar cell is between 25 and 30 years, which is not a timeframe on which an energy grid can rely. They are […]

For more than 10 years, I dreamed of getting solar panels on my house, I dreamed that they would reduce my electric bills to zero. I dreamed about the efficiency, they just sit there and make power and have extremely low maintenance. I had solar jealousy whenever I drove by a house that had all […]

Every hour the earth is hit with more energy from the Sun than the entire world consumes in a year. Solar panel systems for homes are increasing in popularity and decreasing in price. Many homeowners are discovering the advantages of solar power, and you may have even seen quite a few systems being installed in […]

have actors that work? Thanks to brilliant.org for sponsoring this episode. Hey, crazies, it’s time for another episode of How the heck does that work? I’m sure many of you have wondered over the years, how does solar power work? Well, today’s your lucky day. To help out with this. I’ve designed a special clone […]

In this video, I’ll do an Introduction Guide to building your own DIY solar setup. If you’re trying to understand learn this for the very first time, this video is for you. I’m not going to overburden you with technical terms, but rather provide a high level overview, while still showing the step by step […]

This video is brought to you by policy genius. It’s been almost four years since I installed solar panels on my house, which is located in Massachusetts. In general, they’ve been performing pretty close to what was promised. But last year threw some curveballs that made me a little concerned, I saw a pretty sharp […]
