Finding Solutions for Tastier Tomatoes, Recycled Carbon Fiber, and Better Battery Performance
About this episode
This episode explores innovative energy solutions involving tomato growth under photovoltaic light, recycled carbon fiber, and improved battery performance.
Disclaimer: This episode was produced when the laboratory operated as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The laboratory is now the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR). In this episode, explore three ways NREL researchers are seeking out energy solutions: An experiment dubbed “No Photon Left Behind” examined if growing tomatoes under the filtered light spectrum of a semitransparent photovoltaic panels would make them grow faster, bigger, and tastier.
