Solar Panels
Solar panels are cheap, scalable and adjustable to different surfaces and needs. As a result, they will likely be a leading renewable energy technology in the world’s future energy mix. With monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin-film and perovskite cells (still in the research phase) as well as solar shingles and tiles to choose from, the options seem limitless.
Wind Turbines
Wind turbines and solar panels have broken the lowest price threshold that coal power plants have long held. Since intermittency is a central concern, more solutions are appearing. Low-wind speed wind turbines, vertical-axis wind turbine, urban wind turbines and integrated chimney-type wind turbines are all set to take over a significant portion of the renewable electricity production market in the upcoming decades. Solar power and wind power are the best ways to use natural resources instead of fossil fuels to produce electricity.
Green Energy Storage Technology
Green energy intermittency is the biggest issue at hand. As energy storage is expensive and not very efficient, even storing 30 kWh for an average US home’s daily use can be very costly. However, there are many solutions under development. The future energy storage cross-section will most likely consist of:
1.li-ion batteries
2.zinc-bromide gel batteries
3.solid-state batteries
4.reversible hydro dams
5.smart-grid energy use optimization solutions.
