How Solar Power Works
When the sun shines onto a solar panel, energy from the sunlight is absorbed by the PV cells in the panel. This energy creates an electrical charge that moves in response to an internal electrical field in the cell, causing electricity to flow.
Development Timeline for Solar Power Plants
The development of utility-scale solar projects is a long and complex process, requiring extensive expertise. Let's quickly look at the steps, and the time they generally take.
How Does a Lithium-Ion Battery Work?
Lithium-ion batteries generate electricity through redox reactions caused by electrons separated from lithium ions moving between the cathode and anode materials. When the cathode and anode are connected with a wire, the electrons in the anode materials move to the cathode materials and are discharged, and when an external voltage is applied to the battery, the electrons in the cathode materials move to the anode materials and are charged.
Plastic Chemical Recycling Value Chain
Waste plastic can also be recycled through chemical processes. Waste plastics can contribute to the circular economy by being reborn as high-value products such as pyrolysis oil.
