Solar Balloons to Power the Earth
Why wait for sunlight to reach solar panels? What if balloons were used to capture solar energy up in the sky where space is not restricted, where energy harvests could be multiplied and where there are no interruptions to light? A French researcher has had the idea to put solar cells on a hydrogen-filled polymer balloon and let it rise above the clouds which hinder the production of solar energy in order to get the maximum energy production.
