Solar panels capture invisible energy at night to produce electricity

We are increasingly relying on electrical technologies for various needs from using mobile phones to charging electric cars.

However, battery depletion and limitations are a major challenge, forcing users to charge their devices.

This new technology will revolutionize the way we use electrical devices. (Illustration: Techno-Science).

Lebanese researcher Raja Yazigi may be able to solve this problem thanks to a major breakthrough in the field of photovoltaic cells.

This technology revolutionizes the way we charge our phones or cars, making it unnecessary. Yazigi has found a way to produce solar panels that can operate uninterrupted, even at night, without the need for battery storage. 

He used a new material that provided better optical performance.

"During the day, the Earth receives energy from the Sun in the form of light waves. But at night, it re-emits energy in the form of infrared waves. This new material can harvest energy both day and night ," he explained.

Polyatomic alloy

Although the production of this new material is very expensive. However, Raja Yazigi believes that in the future, it will not be more expensive than the photovoltaic cells equipped on current solar panels.

During his research, he discovered a type of multi-atomic alloy that can absorb infrared waves at night to produce electricity.

Raja Yazigi hopes that within the next few years it will benefit the whole world.

If successful, countries could use this new solar battery technology to generate electricity continuously and users would benefit greatly from it, using it for electrical appliances in their homes or vehicles such as electric cars.

Scientists are calling for funding from energy companies to be able to test and apply this technology in life.
