preliminary

  • 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
