The sun is one of the most untapped forces of nature on the planet. This Afternoon, I felt it immensely and all pointed to the much energy that man could tap from there. Then something came to my mind.

Although solar energy is becoming a reliable alternative source of power generation for homes, I think the method of harvesting it is still ineffective considering how much space the panels can take. Acres of land will be needed if much energy to power towns could be harvested from the sun,

How can this be improved? One of the biggest turn-arounds that can happen to solar energy is by being able to generate much energy with very little harvesting space.

The breakthrough could come from discovering ways the sunrays and heat can be converged from very different angles. This could come in the form of inventing an item that on its own attracts sunrays and heat to itself.

For this to be very fruitful, scientists must;

1. Discover the real components of the sun that makes it give light and energy

2. What are these components attracted to both in a free state or in combination with other elements?

3. How can these components be used to build harvesters that no matter how little they are, they can attract the energy of the sun in good quantity?

Another angle to look at this is to ask plants. It is common knowledge that plants grow towards sunlight making it obvious that there's an attraction between plants and the sun. The sun these plants get from the sun is enough to make them produce all they can.

The secret to discovering how to harvest enough solar energy with little space could be something found in this attraction.

All in All, #randomideassaturday is all about asking pertinent questions because asking questions to find answers is the hallmark of knowledge.

Where does the secret to generating enough solar energy with little space lie?
