Description

“If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.” So goes the old saying, and it is as true today as ever.

Unfortunately, the many marvels of modern technology have led some people to believe there are no limits to what we can achieve if we put our minds to it. 

 One popular myth today is that we can power whole modern economies with solar energy. 

But does that idea hold water?

In “How many km2 of solar panels in Spain how much battery backup would it take to power Germany,” Dr. Lars Schernikau and Professor William H. Smith do the necessary analysis to tell us.  Using Germany as a model case, they explain precisely why solar cannot meet the power needs of a modern economy in this 8-page case study.
