Renewable Energy

Among alternative energy initiatives, energy production and storage are among the more significant challenges. Production issues are obvious, the sun doesn't always shine on a photovoltaic panel and the wind doesn't always spin a turbine. With regard to storage, the technology needed to store solar energy from photovoltaic panels or wind-based energy is still not developed. However, considerable inroads have been made in concentrating solar power-generation technologies providing a technological distinction compared with photovoltaic cells and wind energy power generation. The storage capabilities associated with concentrating solar power generation make for possibly wide-spread future market applications.
