How can mechanical engineers address solar power intermittency?
Solar power is a clean and renewable source of energy, but it also has a major drawback: it is intermittent. This means that the amount of electricity generated by solar panels depends on the weather, the time of day, and the season. This creates challenges for integrating solar power into the grid, balancing supply and demand, and ensuring reliability and stability. How can mechanical engineers address this issue and make solar power more consistent and predictable? In this article, we will explore some of the possible solutions that mechanical engineers can design, develop, and implement to overcome solar power intermittency.
