Energy & sustainability
From a source to useful work. Explore generation, storage, efficiency and the trade-offs involved in choosing an energy system.
What this field covers.
Energy generation
Solar panels convert light into electrical energy. Output depends on conditions, equipment and installation design.
Storage & reliability
Storage separates the time energy is produced from the time it is used. Capacity, power capability, efficiency and lifespan are different considerations.
Efficiency & resources
Using less energy for the same result can reduce demand. Consider operation and the resources needed to make and maintain equipment.
