Question: Whats the most amazing thing a solar panel can do, in your opinion?

Christine Coonick answered on 7 Mar 2016:

Converting sunlight into electricity is pretty amazing. The amount of energy the sun radiates down on to 1 square meter of Earth is enough to power everything in your house for half a day. Unfortunately at the moment solar panels are only 15-20% efficient at converting the energy, so you would need 10-14 square meters of panels to provide all the energy needed to run your house. It’s still a great way to get energy.
