- It's a transparent solar panel designed by someone in the Philippines
- It's a piece of glass with some fluorescent organic stuff
(...)( 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
(...)( 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. - 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
