How far can I go on my solar powered bike?
On your bike. To try everything Brilliant has to offer—free—for a full 30 days, visit https://www.brilliant.org/simonclark. The first 200 of you will get 20% off Brilliant's annual premium subscription.
I try to cycle to 200km to London using my Ridgeback electric bike, towing a solar panel behind me to charge the battery. Along the way things don't exactly go as planned, and I learn some lessons about low carbon transport.

How solar energy got so cheap
Cheap solar is a policy success story.
Subscribe and turn on notifications 🔔 so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
Since 2009, the price of solar energy has come down by 90 percent. That’s no accident. It’s the result of policy interventions from the US to Germany to China.
As policy analyst Gregory Nemet puts it, “No one country is responsible. It was a relay race rather than a competition.” The global flow of knowledge, people, technology, and policy helped bring down the price per watt from more than $100 in 1976 to less than $0.50 today, according to this analysis from the folks at Our World in Data. https://ourworldindata.org/cheap-renewables-growth

How do solar panels work? - Richard Komp
View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-do-solar-panels-work-richard-komp
The Earth intercepts a lot of solar power: 173,000 terawatts. That’s 10,000 times more power than the planet’s population uses. So is it possible that one day the world could be completely reliant on solar energy? Richard Komp examines how solar panels convert solar energy to electrical energy.

How solar energy got so cheap, and why it's not everywhere (yet)
A lot speaks for solar energy. It's clean, renewable – and now even cheaper than energy from fossil fuels like coal or natural gas. Sounds pretty great, right? But it only makes up a tiny bit of global electricity production. Why don't we use a lot more of it yet?
We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

Do Portable Solar Power Chargers Really Work?
Solar energy is pretty great. It's clean, it's pretty much everywhere, and it's free.
Portable solar panels give us an easy way to harness this energy, without breaking the bank.
But can you REALLY count on them to keep your cat video and social media machines juiced up?
The answers you seek lie within.

How Much Energy Does a 100 Watt Solar Panel Produce?
I tested a 100 watt solar panel over the course of a week (well...10 days, actually) to shed insight on how much energy 100W solar panels can produce.
If you have a solar panel or solar array, what kind of energy production are you seeing from it? I'd be curious to hear, so maybe leave a comment!
~
MY SETUP
I used a 100W 12V Renogy Monocrystalline Solar Panel and a Victron MPPT Charge Controller. I monitored the battery’s state of charge with a Victron BMV-712 Battery Monitor to ensure the battery never reached full charge. When it got close to full, I’d turn on some loads to discharge it. I’m happy to say the charge controller was in the Bulk charge stage for 100% of the test! I ‘mounted’ the solar panel at the optimal tilt and azimuth angles for my location (Georgia) and time of year...

https://wn.com/How_Solar_Energy_Got_So_Cheap,_And_Why_It's_Not_Everywhere_(Yet)
A lot speaks for solar energy. It's clean, renewable – and now even cheaper than energy from fossil fuels like coal or natural gas. Sounds pretty great, right? But it only makes up a tiny bit of global electricity production. Why don't we use a lot more of it yet?
We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

Solar energy is pretty great. It's clean, it's pretty much everywhere, and it's free.
Portable solar panels give us an easy way to harness this energy, without breaking the bank.
But can you REALLY count on them to keep your cat video and social media machines juiced up?
The answers you seek lie within.

I tested a 100 watt solar panel over the course of a week (well...10 days, actually) to shed insight on how much energy 100W solar panels can produce.
If you have a solar panel or solar array, what kind of energy production are you seeing from it? I'd be curious to hear, so maybe leave a comment!

MY SETUP
I used a 100W 12V Renogy Monocrystalline Solar Panel and a Victron MPPT Charge Controller. I monitored the battery’s state of charge with a Victron BMV-712 Battery Monitor to ensure the battery never reached full charge. When it got close to full, I’d turn on some loads to discharge it. I’m happy to say the charge controller was in the Bulk charge stage for 100% of the test! I ‘mounted’ the solar panel at the optimal tilt and azimuth angles for my location (Georgia) and time of year (April). Temperatures ranged from the 40s to the 80s. I cleaned the panel twice during the test, and trimmed the grass in front of the panel to prevent shading.
