Solar panels on the Moon?

Solar panels are becoming increasingly popular among both consumers and businesses alike as the technology behind them gets more and more sophisticated and the logistics of such power generation becomes easier and cheaper.

Therefore, you will no doubt be aware of this source of energy. Indeed, you will probably have seen such panels on rooftops before and you might even be considering getting them for your own personal or commercial property.

But you might not be aware of the possibility of using this form of technology on the Moon. This seems more like science fiction than fact. But according to comments made by an expert speaking on a recent BBC documentary entitled Do We Really Need the Moon?, which was hosted by Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, this may be possible.

The theory is that because of the intense and constant level of solar energy that reaches the lunar surface, a huge amount of solar power could be harnessed using only very thin panels. This could then be transmitted to earth via microwaves.

Those who support this notion hope that the amount of solar electricity generated in this way would be enough to support the entire planet, making it the ultimate source of renewable power.

However, it seems as though this idea will not be realised for some considerable time, if ever. So the need to make use of practical renewable energy using technology on the earth remains strong. To find out how you can do your bit to aid the process, simply browse our website.
