Developed solar panel that can produce energy at night

Researchers have developed a solar panel system that increases the energy efficiency produced during the day and makes it possible to produce a small amount of energy at night.

Standard solar panels cannot produce energy at night because they need light in energy production. A new system developed allows to produce energy from solar panels at night with the Seebeck effect or the thermoelectric effect.

System continues to be developed

Stanford University researchers have developed a solar panel system that can be used as a continuously renewable power source for both day and night. The system can produce a significant amount of energy during the day and a small amount of energy at night.

Solar panels work like a conventional panel during the day but use integrated hardware to continue generating electricity at night. Panels equipped with thermoelectric generators can generate electricity from the temperature difference between the ambient air and the surface of the solar panel after the sun goes down.

Solar panels with improved daytime efficiency and a small amount of output during the night can reach up to about 200 watts per square meter during the day, while the night output is only around 50 milliwatts in the same region.

Research team, Shanhui Fan, one of the project researchers, said: “So, this is significantly lower, but could potentially be useful for some low power density applications.” said.
