This ‘Anti-Solar Panel’ Could One Day Produce Energy Even at Night – ScienceAlert
Scientists are ironing out the kinks for an ‘anti-solar power’ cell, one that can harvest energy at nighttime, even when the sun isn’t shining.
Scientists are ironing out the kinks for an ‘anti-solar power’ cell, one that can harvest energy at nighttime, even when the sun isn’t shining.
Instead of absorbing light from the Sun and converting it into electricity, like a normal solar panel would, this type of technology works in reverse.
At night, when there’s no incoming heat for solar panels to capture, there’s still outgoing heat we can make use of. By pointing a warm panel up towards the cold sink of space, this heat begins to radiat…
