The Future of Solar

With the aggressive push toward mass adoption of renewable energy, there’s a huge disruption taking place in the energy, transportation, housing, and agriculture sectors. As you know, where there’s disruption, there’s money to be made. [Energy and Capital Header] Practical Investment Analysis for the New Energy Economy The Future of Solar Alex Boulden | Aug 03, 2023 After graduating college, I found myself floating on the Patuxent River in a 42-foot boat. My days were filled with bright mornings as I wobbled to work on my sea legs and peaceful nights as I read by the dim lights, slowly rocked to sleep by the changing tides. If I needed to travel anywhere by sea, I used the water. If I needed to power the lights, central air, or water pumps, I used the electricity stored in the solar-powered batteries. I saved hundreds of dollars each month. Just look at what the average American pays for utilities these days: [utility] You could say I was living “off-grid,” but I thought it was just a natural way of life. It made sense to me and still does. I was completely self-sustainable and wasn’t beholden to the greedy utility companies. By using renewable energy, I felt a sense of freedom. Ah, sometimes I wish I still lived on that old boat and could save more using renewables. But you know what they say — the two happiest days of a boat owner’s life are the day they buy the boat and the day they sell it. Maybe one day I’ll get back to the sea. Now, I know what you’re thinking. It’s easy to power a dinky boat with solar, but powering a household isn’t sustainable. However, a recent report from Rewiring America found that U.S. households could save $321 billion by switching to clean energy. That’s roughly $2,500 a year, provided the government offers tax incentives and rebates for installation costs. Also consider the cost savings of creating energy-efficient facilities, including universities, government and corporate offices, restaurants, and entire cities. And with the aggressive push toward mass adoption of renewable energy, there’s a huge disruption taking place in the energy, transportation, housing, and agriculture sectors. As you know, where there’s disruption, there’s money to be made. But there’s one problem... In order for renewables to compete with fossil fuels, we need a better way to generate and store energy. The Death of Lithium-Ion The variable nature of wind and solar power has been a major limitation on our ability to optimize electricity and storage. When the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow, you can’t capture energy, so you need to store the energy for later use. Tiny Stock Has 264 Patents on Groundbreaking AI Tech A little-known AI tech is becoming critical to the operations of 94% of corporations... It’s projected to be in nine out of every 10 cars by 2028... And is already essential to the workflow of 80% of hospitals. Which is the real reason why Bill Gates bet an enormous $20 billion on this AI niche... double what he invested in ChatGPT. Yet one tiny company already holds 264 ironclad patents on this tech. And it's lined up to hand savvy investors like you 5,300% profits. [Click here for the full story.]( The current standard for storing this energy is the lithium-ion battery because it’s relatively cheap to produce, but this is changing by the day. And we all know from our cellphones that the batteries don’t last very long. This is because lithium batteries gradually lose their ability to retain a charge and cease to work after a few hundred cycles. These solid-state batteries also pose a fire risk. We’ve all seen the Teslas and other electric vehicles catching fire lately. Lithium batteries also decay when not in use. And the journal Progress in Natural Science: Materials International found that varying temperature conditions produce various adverse effects on the stability of lithium-based batteries. The negatives go on. So what’s the solution? Well, the most promising alternative is the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). Infinite Energy Because of their large-scale infrastructure, VRFBs are used primarily in energy storage applications and paired with large wind and solar farms. The chemical vanadium is stored as a solution in four oxidative states and flows through the holding tanks. The cool thing is that the chemical solutions change colors when in different states. Just like lithium batteries, VRFBs are rechargeable. However, VRFBs pose no significant safety or environmental threats, can be idle for long periods of time without losing storage capacity, are scalable, and can provide continuous power for longer than 24 hours. Essentially, they can’t catch fire or lose charge. VRFBs are theoretically limitless. As they produce zero emissions, lots of renewable companies are starting to use them to store the energy. But we've got to think about setting these up logistically. Tesla in BIG trouble? Forget fossil fuels, lithium batteries, or hydrogen fuel cells...Because these new cars charge themselves even as they cruise down the highway... And every one of them NEEDS the tech produced by ONE small firm you can own now before shares explode. [Discover the details about this tiny tech company here.]( If you hook them up on a giant solar farm, you're going to need a lot of them. Much of the power is lost when transferring it. It might look something like this. [vfrb] So you're going to need a direct hookup to each panel or section of panels. I don't know if you've seen these massive wind farms, but the cost of hooking up a VRFB to each section just doesn't make sense. That's where a new solar invention comes into play. Doing Solar Right You see, for years we've been doing solar wrong... We've been orienting the panels horizontally. But what if we stacked them? That's what what one tiny firm is doing. It's created solar towers that have already begun popping up across the United States, making the conventional model of installing solar farms obsolete. Because of their unique, patented vertical design, these towers can generate all the power of a modern solar farm with just a TENTH of the land use...Meaning they can be easily placed inside the cities and suburbs where power demand is greatest, instead of needing to be built in rural areas hundreds or even thousands of miles away like typical solar farms do. Not only does this instantly free up hundreds of billions of dollars of increasingly valuable real estate for agriculture…But it also eliminates the other BIG problem these solar companies are facing, which is the massive amount of power that’s lost in the transmission process. [This $20 million firm has just unlocked a multitrillion-dollar profit opportunity...](Finally making solar power easily accessible for all 8 billion humans on Earth and landing early investors potentially life-changing returns in the process. Stay frosty, Alexander Boulden Editor, Energy and Capital [EAC ICYMI Header]( Seven Major Automakers Have Joined Forces to DESTROY Tesla [tesla-ev-chargers-image] Tesla is bracing itself for some MAJOR competition. A power-packed alliance of seven major car manufacturers is building an EV charging network to rival Tesla’s. BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, and Stellantis have joined forces to form a new charging network that they say will “significantly expand access to high-powered charging” in North America. They intend to install at least 30,000 high-powered charge plugs across North America... Drastically improving the availability of high-powered charging stations. And the best part? These brand-new charging stations are carving out a lucrative revenue stream for everyday Americans... An income stream that permits ANYONE to earn a slice of the pie... Each time an EV gets plugged in to charge. I call them “Plug-In Payouts,” and they’re an exceptional opportunity that could funnel as much as $563 million annually into the pockets of everyday Americans. The beauty of this unprecedented opportunity is the simplicity of getting involved. To kick-start your journey, all it takes is following three effortless steps...
