TED-Ed: Why aren't we only using solar power? - Alexandros George Charalambides

The video discusses the benefits and challenges of solar power, focusing on how cloud cover affects solar energy systems like solar towers and photovoltaics. It explains different types of solar irradiance and how they impact electricity production. The video also covers methods to manage fluctuations in solar power, the role of traditional power plants, and the importance of forecasting cloud movements to optimize solar energy use.

Why is it difficult to rely solely on traditional power plants for energy?

What advancements are researchers looking into for improving solar energy efficiency?
