Standard solar panels are able to provide electricity only during the day, but this new technology is able to work as a “continuous renewable power source for both day and nighttime.” About 750 million people in the world do not have access to electricity at night. Solar cells provide power during the day, but saving energy for later use requires substantial battery storage. but now engineers have built a device with a thermoelectric generator. This device is able to suck electricity from the tiny difference in temperature between the solar cell and ambient air. Read more about the panels here.
