How to solve the problem of insufficient renewable energy on the Earth

> Random idea 2: Develop advanced solar panels that can efficiently harness energy from moonlight and starlight in addition to sunlight.

Even if you could get 100% efficiency from panels (today they are 30%) the solar power from moonlight and (much less) starlight is insignificant compared with the power of the sun.

> In average, we get 1 milliwatt from the moonlight which is 1/300,000 of the Sun's 342 Watts (averaged over places, seasons, day cycles). That's about the same what I got for the total strip of stars in the Milky Way – 3 parts per million of the Sun

Energy generation is part of the problem. Storage is another part. All renewable energy sources are not consistent.

There are peaks and troughs in generation. I have seen solar companies cutting of panel areas from grids given the lack of demand during that hour. Storage at grid and home level has the potential to disrupt the dynamic of the energy market.

Today, a select few companies control vast amount of energy supply this control needs to be broken for better future.
