Another way to produce and store solar energy has been pioneered by our very own CSIRO. The CSIRO have a pilot plant in Newcastle that can use the heat from the sun and a special reactor to convert conventional gas into a solar gas. The resulting gas contains much more energy per cubic meter than the conventional gas, so it is essentially storing the solar energy in gas form. Pretty neat I reckon.
Solar cells convert sunlight directly into electricity. Solar cells are often used to power calculators and watches. They are made of semiconducting materials similar to those used in computer chips. When sunlight is absorbed by these materials, the solar energy knocks electrons loose from their atoms, allowing the electrons to flow through the material to produce electricity.
