This article was really cool. It's kind of surprising that they would use butterfly wings as a way to improve solar cells. No one would expect to find the way to improve solar cells in butterfly wings. I really hope to learn more about this in future articles.

10# Solar energy from Butterfly Wings? Notes
The Japanese and the Chinese are researching better ways for solar cells to collect energy from the sun. They found that the answer may be in butterfly wings. Butterfly wings have their own solar cells. They also discovered dye-sensitized cells. The person who invented the dye-sensitized cells Micheal Gratzel. They did testing on both of them and found out that the solar collecters on the butterfly wings collected more effecintly than the dye sensitized.

#9 California ISO Symposium Sheds New Light on Integrating Solar Power response
I think putting solar energy in the desert is a great idea because the solar cells can collect a lot of energy that way. With a solar energy plant in the Mohave Desert well be closer to having greener planet. It's great that solar energy is becoming more popular and getting different technology.
#9 California ISO Symposium Sheds New Light on Integrating Solar Power notes
Solar energy companies is growing more and more to the point that in no time it will be competing with regular energy. They used what the learned from wind power and re going to use some of it to help with solar energy. "The Mohave Desert is one of the best places in the world for solar thermal energy, "said Senior Director of Transmission Bob Stuart. The desert will be a gvreat place for solar panels because the is a lot of space and light energy. Solar energy vary because of the weather. Like when it's cloudy the energy you get isn't going to very strong.
