Editing Talk:AuREUS (section)

== preliminary ==

* It's a ''transparent solar panel'' designed/developed by Filipino entrepreneur Carvey Ehren Maigue
* It's a piece of glass with some fluorescent organic stuff{{x|they emphasize that it's derived from food waste. Not sure how significant that really is, if it's such a miniscule fraction of the total material used in the panel (probably a couple grams per panel idk)}} in it, which converts UV rays into green visible light, which is then captured by some photovoltaics around the edges of the glass (presumably?)
* How much energy does it produce? Probably a tiny fraction compared to other types of [[solar panels]]{{x|because by definition, most of the light gets through the glass rather than being converted into electricity}}. '''Better than nothing''', but not going to replace the bulk of fossil fuel consumption. {{light|(I have to say this because there are a lot of misleading social media posts that make this product seem far more revolutionary than it actually is.)}}
** Still useful in some ways. If a whole house had these panels as windows, I bet it would at least generate enough electricity to charge people's phones and charge some batteries to power lights at night.
* Intermittency is somehow less than regular solar panels? Some quote online: "{{light|The AuReus solar panel can produce energy nearly 50 percent of the time compared to the 15 to 22 percent of standard solar panels.}}"
* Need pictures. Maybe have a subpage for "memes" too, show how this being shared often leads to a misunderstanding of what it takes to end [[climate change]].
