Transcript

The story goes like this: The sun delivers more energy to the Earth in one hour than humanity consumes in an entire year. And solar panels change all of that? So the story goes like this: A photon strikes the silicon crystal and an electron breaks free. The photodalic effect. It just escapes? So the story goes like this: One cell becomes a panel, panels become an array, and direct current becomes the alternating current powering your home. But what happens when the clouds roll in? That is where battery storage steps in. So the story goes like this. What does the world actually look like? Clean air, lower costs. Energy that belongs to no one but us. [Outro music]
