Will Solar Panel Work in Night Time?

Electricity demand is increasing day by day. When people want to use Air Conditioner, they worry about high electricity bills. If we think about what will be an electricity situation in the next 10 years, you will get an electricity bill that will doubletriple the present time. According to people's style, almost every home will have an air conditioner, electric cycle, bike & scooty.  As per current time, the power consumption of homes is 40% in day time and 60% in night time.  

 

There are some prediction about an electricity demand, such as:  

 

Demand for Electricity next 10 years

 

  1. Diesel & Petrol Vehicles will move on Electric Vehicles, so every home will install a charging station.
  2. Government Departments, such as Railway, Airport, Manufacturing Plant, Commercial Spaces, Hospitals, Universities, Bank, Restaurants, etc.
  3. People will more aware of solar energy.
  4. Electricity Bill will be increased by 100% as per the 2020 electricity rate.
  5. The city will be very polluted 

 

Do you know that electricity is made through natural resources such as coal, diesel, water, wind and sunlight. Indian government has fully focused to reduce dependency of power generation from traditional sources, such as coal and diesel. They want to utilize solar energy because it is infinite & pollution free. A solar panel is the main component of the solar energy system that converts sunlight into electricity. Now, you can see many solar applications on home, factory, school, government buildings, railway, airport, etc.

 

Many solar experts and researchers are working to make innovative products for the consumers. If we talk about the latest product of solar panels is the Mono Crystalline solar panel that is made by Mono PERC solar cells. If we talk about a limitation of these solar panels, you will get that Mono Crystalline Solar Panels work only in day time. People want to use solar panels at night, but the current solar panel does not work at night. So, you remember that necessity is the mother of invention.

Anti-Solar Panel – this is the future

Anti-Solar Panel – this is the future

Night time solar cells ‘thermoradiative cells” that generate small amounts of power. To address the growing power needs of consumers, we need to look for options that are capable of generating electricity around the clock.

Let's watch this video

How it Works

Let's understand, how anti solar panel will work? It will completely opposite of regular solar panels. 

 

“A regular solar cell generates power by absorbing sunlight, which causes a voltage to appear across the device and for current to flow. In these new devices, light is instead emitted and the current and voltage go in the opposite direction, but you still generate power,” Munday said. “You have to use different materials, but the physics is the same.”  

In Night time

absorption of energy from the sun

It might sound surreal when you think about solar panels that could operate in the night as the main principle behind the functioning of a solar panel is through the absorption of energy from the sun. It is true that your appliances could still work at night through the energy stored in the batteries that was generated by the solar panels during the day time. But have you heard about solar panels working/ operating during the night?

Generation (Day & Night)

anti solar panel can generate 25% of generation in mid night

A specially designed solar cell is capable of generating up to 50 watts of power per square meter at night i.e. roughly 25% of generation compared to the day time (i.e. 50 Watt per sq. meter). This phenomenon was revealed by Jeremy Munday, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Davis. He is currently working on developing prototypes of the nighttime solar cells that could generate small amounts of power. These nighttime solar cells will work as a normal solar cell but in the opposite way.

 

These cells would work on the principle of ‘thermoradiativity’, i.e. an object which is hotter than its surroundings will radiate heat as infrared light. A warm object in the space will radiate the heat in the space which is cooler. Using the same principle, a thermoradiative cell will generate electrical current as it radiates heat or infrared light in the cool space. This principle could be used for generating power by solar cells during the night time, i.e. light will be emitted, current and voltage will go in the opposite direction, power generation.

Does it work in Night & Day?

This type of solar cell could potentially operate 24*7 and could be the answer to grid-balancing all over the world.

I’m Angel Castor from the US. White Caucasian Female. I’m 43 years old and I got married at the age of 25, I have only two children and I am living happily.

After five years of marriage my husband’s behavior became so strange that I didn’t really understand what was going on. He packed out of the house to another woman’s house and I love him so much that I
never dream of losing him, I tried my best to make sure that my husband got back to me but all to no avail, I cried and cried seeking help. I discussed it with my best friend Alison and she told me she can help me. She told me of a man called Dr. Odunga, she told me he is a very great man and a real man that can be trusted and there is nothing concerning love and Pregnancy issues he cannot solve and she told me how he has helped her and countless number of people in

restoring their relationship. I quickly contacted his email address at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com I explained all my problems to him, he told me that I should not worry that all my problems will be fine. Presently, I am very happy I got my husband back to me with the help of Dr. Odunga and we are living happily with so much love for each other. What-app message/call him at +2348167159012 to help you

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

Price of Hybrid solar power to residential societies with ac modules solar panels 300 W and above 300 W size with corresponding dual mode micro inverters which doesn’t require battery backup system. Approximate price item wise is expected from you.
This system will be suitable in places where non availability electrical energy is rare.
This system is going to reduce all types of costs related with battery backup systems as well as reduces few constraints of regular solar power plant.
