RE: The Energy in Light and How Solar Panels Work
Nigeria is always going back on technology. Just recently China built a solar panel road.
In Jinan, the capital of the northeastern Shandong province, traffic is now rolling over a stretch of expressway that’s also generating electricity from the sun, according to state-run CCTV (link in Chinese). Extending for 1 km (0.6 miles), the stretch is made of three layers: transparent concrete on the top, photovoltaic panels in the middle, and insulation on the bottom. The area covered comes out to 5,875 square meters (63,200 sq ft).
And here we are relying on turbine to generate light for the populace. We need to subscribe to the current trend on technology. At least we can start by building solar farms and so on. This will reduce pollution and help in the go-green project.
Thanks boss for sharing @churchboy
Thank you so much on that detailed comment. I didn't know about the existence of such project. Before we think of installing a solar farm somewhere I Nigeria, I think it would be good for us to have at least a solar cell assembly plant in Nigeria even if we cannot make the photovoltaic cells themselves here. That way, the project would not be too expensive.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
