Andrew (Television Executive)This seems like a really big deal for #solarpunk #sunnytech

They are still able to produce power when not in directly sunlight. That's a Huge deal.
Steven@ajroach42 Upcycling rotten produce for a key component sounds like a fantastic way to keep the price down. I'd heard of transparent IR solar panel films, but I had never heard of them catching on. However, if this is cheap enough and produces electricity, it'll totally catch on.
Alonealastalovedalongthe"Carvey showed a 4"x6" plate that was created using particles from turmeric or luyang dilaw. 'We'll only need two of these plates to charge a smartphone' he tells this writer. A 42"x21" sized window, on the other hand, can harvest 27 watts of electrical power. 'That is the approximation on its output power. Definitely, there is still lots of room for optimization, so we can create a larger energy density for capturing sunlight and ultraviolet light'"
Pretty cool, especially because the panels just look like fun color accents anyways
