    I know this is supposed to be a joke, but it’s important to understand how it really works:

    • particles from the sun hit the solar panel
    • the panel accelerates those particles, which creates fissile material
    • the fissile material is the used in a traditional nuclear reactor
    • the nuclear reaction finally heats water

    Where is the shitpost, solar panels do work by heating up water, unlike photovoltaics.

    Solar panels are good to get a baseline amount of heated water for your home.

      Because I think the graphic missed the parts about the MC4 cables & the solar charge controller & the Lithium battery & the power inverter, a few little details like that.

        That would be for photovoltaics not solar, no?

      I’ve seen non-photovoltaic solar panels for heating pools as well which is just a coiled black hose on a black panel.

        Around here a bunch of people used to have a summer shower setup, which was just a black barrel filled with water up high

    It seems like we could make this a lot more efficient by using pistons and having the sunlight push the pistons, turning a generator.

      big solar has kept the truth about free power generation hidden for years.

        If you plug a power strip into each one of those empty plugs, you could power the whole house!

      Good idea! We’ll just need some steam turbines to help sunlight move the pistons in order to reach peak efficiency!

    Appart from using solar power to melt salt as a energy storage solution, you also have water cooled solar panels that store that heat as warm water.

    I think you forgot the oil powered generator under the boiling water.
