Fancy solar panels!

Renewable energy triumphs around the world now. The most responsive is the electricity generated from solar energy. Some countries are now getting the lion's share of the required electricity from this medium. That is why they are installing solar panels in the desert or across the sea.

However, there are some limitations in power generation through solar panels. As expensive as it is, it requires a lot of space and plenty of sunlight. The biggest problem is that the production decreases a lot on cloudy days.An engineering student from the Philippines has found a solution to these problems. He has developed a type of solar panel that does not need sunlight to generate electricity. At least not directly. The cost of making such a panel is also very low.

Karve Ehren Maigu, a student at Mapua University in the Philippines, has developed some solar panels designed to absorb the sun's ultraviolet rays. It is claimed that they are capable of producing energy even on cloudy days.

Curved solar panels can generate electricity without direct sunlight. The walls and windows of this panel, called AURES, are designed to use luminescent particles from fruit and vegetable waste.

This technology converts the sun's ultraviolet rays into visible light and later generates electricity from the light. The amount of electricity that will be generated per day from the solar panel made in the 3 feet by 2 feet structure of the curve will be enough to charge two phones.

According to the project summary, this solar panel called Ores can help reduce the impact of climate change by making solar energy accessible to all. At the same time, one of the goals is to reduce the loss of farmers and eliminate food waste and its high carbon emissions by making these panels from local damaged or wasted crop wastes.

So far, tests have been performed on six types of local crops, Carve said. Nine of these have high probabilities.

It is worth mentioning that this fancy concept of new type of solar panel has also won the Sustainability Award. Carve's project won the James Dyson Award out of 1800 technologies from 27 countries.

Yes, I saw this in the news too. I'm from Philippines and I'm truly fascinated by how innovative my fellow Filipino people are
