How do solar panels not overheat from the sun.
Cool.
Can people make a lot of money from their patents? Can anyone be an inventor?
How long does it take to get a patent in another country? Is it longer or shorter than the US?
Patents seem important for protecting new solar inventions, but I wonder how they affect sharing new tech with the rest of the world..
How does a person know if it is a real patent or a fake one?
Is it possible to a patent to appropriate to be sent to another client, company, business, or owner to use what you or somebody else has written a patent?
I learned that solar panels collect the sunlight’s energy.
I got to know a lot of interesting things about getting patents from this video, so fun to watch it!
Is there any perminent way to store solar energy
It’s cool that you can get energy from solar panels.
Amazing!
I loved this and I helped me get to know new thing and it fun thanks so much acellus
if we can get energy from solar panels due to the sun, how do we get it when there is only snow for a week
It’s super cool that every single one of us gets to learn more specifically about the Science of the world!
It is also super supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! That all the people all around the whole wide world get to learn more about the technology and circumstances about science live!
I learned so much, and how to get a patent.
How much money do solar panels save on energy?
It was really interesting to learn that solar panels use the light from the sun we can see.
Vey cool! my cousin has solar and hydropower
I had a lot of fun learning about solar energy in this video. (I joined the R-51 club)
Solar energy is amazing
I never knew that people tried making sand crystals to power electricity.
What age do you have to be to apply for a patent?
Hi I love the video about solar energy fun facts
Solar energy is a decent way to make electricity
So cool!
Hi, I learned a lot about solar energy and it was very interesting.
I liked the part about the solar energy. I learned information on how solar panels worked. I learned how to look up patents and who invented them.
How long until we have solar panels that can use more types of uv for better energy?
We just got solar panels on our house and it was very cool.
This is great!!
