178 | Thermal mass systems can store solar energy in the form of heat at domestically useful temperatures for daily or interseasonal durations. Thermal storage systems generally use readily available materials with high specific heat capacities such as water, earth and stone. Well-designed systems can lower peak demand, shift time-of-use to off-peak hours and reduce overall heating and cooling requirements. | What are some of the materials used in thermal storage systems? | 56d09004234ae51400d9c38f | 247 | water, earth and stone |

180 | Phase change materials such as paraffin wax and Glauber's salt are another thermal storage media. These materials are inexpensive, readily available, and can deliver domestically useful temperatures (approximately 64 °C or 147 °F). The "Dover House" (in Dover, Massachusetts) was the first to use a Glauber's salt heating system, in 1948. Solar energy can also be stored at high temperatures using molten salts. Salts are an effective storage medium because they are low-cost, have a high specific heat capacity and can deliver heat at temperatures compatible with conventional power systems. The Solar Two used this method of energy storage, allowing it to store 1.44 terajoules (400,000 kWh) in its 68 cubic metres storage tank with an annual storage efficiency of about 99%. | Paraffin wax is an example of what kind of storage media? | 56ce7a03aab44d1400b887e3 | 75 | thermal |

187 | Off-grid PV systems have traditionally used rechargeable batteries to store excess electricity. With grid-tied systems, excess electricity can be sent to the transmission grid, while standard grid electricity can be used to meet shortfalls. Net metering programs give household systems a credit for any electricity they deliver to the grid. This is handled by 'rolling back' the meter whenever the home produces more electricity than it consumes. If the net electricity use is below zero, the utility then rolls over the kilowatt hour credit to the next month. Other approaches involve the use of two meters, to measure electricity consumed vs. electricity produced. This is less common due to the increased installation cost of the second meter. Most standard meters accurately measure in both directions, making a second meter unnecessary. | Where do off-grid PV systems store excess electricity? | 56ce7ba4aab44d1400b887ed | 44 | rechargeable batteries |

220 | In 2011, the International Energy Agency said that "the development of affordable, inexhaustible and clean solar energy technologies will have huge longer-term benefits. It will increase countries’ energy security through reliance on an indigenous, inexhaustible and mostly import-independent resource, enhance sustainability, reduce pollution, lower the costs of mitigating global warming, and keep fossil fuel prices lower than otherwise. These advantages are global. Hence the additional costs of the incentives for early deployment should be considered learning investments; they must be wisely spent and need to be widely shared". | How will solar energy increase energy security? | 56cfb40b234ae51400d9bea3 | 214 | through reliance on an indigenous, inexhaustible and mostly import-independent resource |

Hence the additional costs of the incentives for early deployment should be considered learning investments; they must be wisely spent and need to be widely shared". | What effect will solar energy have on the price of fossil fuels? | 56cfb40b234ae51400d9bea6 | 395 | keep fossil fuel prices lower than otherwise |
224 | The potential solar energy that could be used by humans differs from the amount of solar energy present near the surface of the planet because factors such as geography, time variation, cloud cover, and the land available to humans limits the amount of solar energy that we can acquire. | Why does the amount of usable solar energy differ from the amount near the planets surface? | 56cfbb5c234ae51400d9bf29 | 159 | geography, time variation, cloud cover, and the land available to humans |
225 | Geography effects solar energy potential because areas that are closer to the equator have a greater amount of solar radiation. However, the use of photovoltaics that can follow the position of the sun can significantly increase the solar energy potential in areas that are farther from the equator. Time variation effects the potential of solar energy because during the nighttime there is little solar radiation on the surface of the Earth for solar panels to absorb. This limits the amount of energy that solar panels can absorb in one day. Cloud cover can effect the potential of solar panels because clouds block incoming light from the sun and reduce the light available for solar cells. | Why does geography have an effect of the amount of solar energy available? | 56cfbc7f234ae51400d9bf33 | 49 | areas that are closer to the equator have a greater amount of solar radiation |

229 | In addition, land availability has a large effect on the available solar energy because solar panels can only be set up on land that is unowned and suitable for solar panels. Roofs have been found to be a suitable place for solar cells, as many people have discovered that they can collect energy directly from their homes this way. Other areas that are suitable for solar cells are lands that are unowned by businesses where solar plants can be established. | Why does land availability have an effect on solar energy? | 56cfbd75234ae51400d9bf3d | 88 | solar panels can only be set up on land that is unowned and suitable for solar panels |
