Scientists have created solar panels that can produce energy even at night

Daytime To the earth falling Solar energy night radiation returns to space in the form of. Objects during this process and The Earth’s surface cools faster than the surrounding air. Scientists have decided to use this process. So. that, Solar panels integrated thermoelectric generator It was possible to start due to a temperature difference of several degrees. This, in turn, allows solar panels to produce energy even at night. Experts have been around for a long time that, even at night, they are trying to create effective ways to generate energy through solar power plants.

So far, the proposed methods in this direction are less effective according to did not attract attention. However Stanford University engineer Sid Assawaworrarit was able to create a unique solar panel design that combines a thermoelectric generator and that panel from the methods previously proposed 10 times more effective was. Experiments on improved solar panels have shown this that, each square meter of solar panel in cloudless sky at night 50 megawatts able to generate energy.

Solar panel optimization and through each square centimeter of the panels as a result of other improvements 1-2 watts energy can be generated. This, in turn, is enough to power some devices. It should be noted that, each square meter of solar panels during the day 150 watts generates energy. The amount of energy generated at night is difficult in the near future that, be at the level of the amount of energy generated during the day. However, the amount of 1 watt of energy obtained from each square meter of solar panels at night is already a great success.
