In a world exhausted of fossil fuels, solar panels can provide a sustainable solution to our energy problems. But they also come with a couple of issues: for one, solar farms are massive, and they have to be set up somewhere that gets a lot of sunlight.
Now, if only we had a large mass of unused land that gets guaranteed sunlight everyday… Could we cover an entire desert in solar panels? Would that be enough to power the entire world? What kind of problems could we run into?

Why doesn't everything that is related to "evolution of humankind" free
I mean we all could be rich if we do it
They will again become the net supplier of energy. God always has a balancing force.
A huge waste of money as electricity loss are high
Really beautiful idea…
The amount of money space company are spending will be enough for this
What if we turn Sahara desert into a kitchen:-)
What if they did that on the atacama desert in chile, that doesnt seems so bad
Still don't understand how there will be rain because of it.
Even if we covered it of solar panels, the electrical transportation losses are so big that would make it pointless. As it is said at the end of the video, the best solution is to increase the local production to supply the energy demand.
I think sun rich countries could produce hydrogen. The new oil
I thought I would get some estimates on the average outputs and real data about the energy itself. This video sounded more like why doing it wouldn't work.
What if we take a piece of sun and take to our earth then it will glow exactly same as the
Sun or not
So the biggest issue we have here is.. humans. What a shame
What about the desert wind storm??
Well I'm only English
U English
Eśpanol Japan hindi Chinese only em languages
How about the maintenance cost?
Why they breaking the solar panels
Sand would fall on the solar panela
You forgot the part where we required large amount of water to clean the solar panels and being in the desert it will require HUGE Amount of water.
Incredibly, some crocodiles grow upto 16 feet, but most usually just have 4
I don’t think it’s a great idea if it starts raining in sahara, ultimately the water would be poured there which was destined for somewhere else.
WHAT IF I AM NOT A FAT?
One of reason (which i didn't see in the video) why they don't use solar panels in Sahara is heat. If the panels heat up they harvest less energy due to semiconductors they use. More heat more resistance then less power output and also panels and inverters (that they are used in solar power plants) outputs heat. So the usable energy that we get isn't as much as we need. Plus the building cost of a plant that will be made in a desert, plus the sand that will cover the panels. Next time do some research and try to acknowledge all the sides of a problem. We need more informative videos, not cheep fast and click bait videos
We can we use that energy to produce stuff and then give that to everyone or find out technology to transport it cheaply
I think they would break cus at night it gets really cold
I would have to disagree with the assumption that covering 2% of land with panels would power the entire world.
The panels will melt. At least 40 per cent of Sahara record temperatures above 40 degrees celcius at peak hours during the day and sub zero temperatures at night. You will need special materials that can survive such extreme variations for long including insulation materials for the cables. Current panels wont last long in the Sahara rendering investment costly. But the good news is, it can be done but with more R & D
First it’s too expensive
And second the blowing sand can cover the solar panel so it wouldn’t get a lot sunlight
how bout Antarctica
why didn't you say led solar panel four square inches of 3mm leds is one 120 household plug with 20 amps.
hydrualic motor can turn generator by their designs. people just break them and shoot people stepping up by weight is working just use it.
You are forgetting maintenance cost. Theres air so there would be sand covering the panels. You cant let that build up because that reduces energy capture efficiency. It would be reasonable to assume that maintenance would be frequent and costly.
Proud of my country 🇲🇦🇲🇦we have the largest solar panels project in the world that's actually been done .
One sand storm would wipe out an investment
What if we lived in the Andromeda Galaxy
