Limited uses but combined with drone technology it could be 24/7 surveillance without the need to land and refuel. Of course changing weather may create problems.

Not impressed. Wake me up when you can power a 747 with solar power. Until then I guess it’s still fossil fuels.

For those who equate batteries with Satan, I was watching a WWII documentary on submarines. They couldn’t function without batteries. They could have used smaller, greener ones at the time.
