Robotarium X is a large-scale steel glass construction lodging forty-five different robots, most powered by photovoltaic energy and fully autonomous.
It combines photovoltaic and wind energy to provide over 700 MWh/year of electricity.
The feed-in tariff for photovoltaic energy is 0,251 - 0,402 €/kWh.
In the future, if photovoltaic energy becomes feasible, even homeowners might generate electricity on their own.
The station will combine 3 kinds of energy: solar thermal energy, photovoltaic energy, and natural gas.
Using photovoltaic energy is a very green and potentially rewarding move, but it's not quite as straightforward as getting your power from the established electrical grid.
It must not confine itself to research on photovoltaic energy, but must also promote demonstration projects in other areas, such as wind energy.
The local production of photovoltaic energy on buildings makes renewable energy very competitive.
So I think we should give firm support to photovoltaic and geothermal energy.
I think the future of renewable energy lies in solar photovoltaic energy, but not yet - it is still very expensive.
