With a "Thermoelectric Generator," solar panels can generate electricity using the fluctuating temperature of ambient air!

Although solar panels are an excellent alternative to more traditional energy sources. But, they can only produce energy during the day from sunlight. That is, until now.?
The device "thermoelectric generator" catches the heat that flows between the warm air and the solar panel and turns it into energy.?
As it turns out, solar panels can kind of work in reverse; solar panels emit infrared radiation even in the absence of light. This takes the form of protons carrying heat away from the solar panel via wavelengths invisible to the human eye.?
Night-effective solar panels carry a significant amount of potential. Those who rely on solar power and other off-grid solutions for daily life—i.e. around one billion people globally—could also benefit from panels capable of providing a more consistent stream of electricity.??
