Solarpunk technology
Technology for a Solar-Punk future.
Airships and hydroponic farms...
Another win for solar. This industry has been exploding for years with no end in sight.
Should be much easier to apply PV to vehicles if these prototypes become as easily commercially produced as they appear to be.
Very exciting
Yup. If we also get transparent solar panels (that only absorb invisible light), we could put them basically anywhere. Solar panel picnic blankets. Solar panel doormats. Solar panel monitors!
the reason that solar panels are black is that most of the incoming energy from the sun comes as visible light. If we leave that light unabsorbed, we loose out.
Transparent solar panels make more energy than no solar panels.
I want to see a wiring diagram that would take advantage of the invisible solar panels. Wiring up invisible solar panels sounds very difficult, unless you use wireless power transmission as Tesla tried to invent?
It sounds promising, and was done with already commercially available materials and equipment.
If 10 squirrels say so, this must be true.
"mega" sounds weird to describe thin. "micro-thin" sounds better, methinks.
Someone said this on the original post on one of the technology communities. They probably meant very thin
Can't wait to buy a roll of Solar Sheet to put on the roof - or over a tent.
