  • Nice idea, but at 50mW/m², I would need something like 1000m² of panels just to cover my base load overnight.

    I will stick with my existing panels and battery, which will power my house all night at this time of year.

  • But.....................................from little acorns mighty oaks do grow.

  • well you will never do better than converting 100% of the available energy landing as irradiation to electricity - so no more than a factor of 3 to 5 from where we are now, and realistically, probably half of that. Storing daytime energy makes more sense.
