How AuREUS Solar Panels Turn Food Waste Into Clean Energy and
AuREUS solar panels use food waste to create clean energy, even on cloudy days. Invented by Carvey Ehren Maigue, they offer farmers new income and reduce energy bills for families.

Made from fruit and vegetable waste, the material uses naturally occurring luminescent particles which capture ultraviolet rays and then emit the energy as visible light. Combined with
In the Philippines, a young engineering student asked that very question. His answer: a solar panel made not from silicon, but from spoiled fruits and vegetables and it doesn''t even need
Unlike traditional solar panels made of silicon, AuREUS uses food waste to develop luminescent particles that efficiently absorb UV rays even on a cloudy day. This technology earned
AuREUS Solar Panels, invented by Carvey Mehren Maigue, convert UV radiation into electricity using food waste. Maigue, during a Dyson interview, expressed his desire to make clean
Carvey Ehren Maigue, a Filipino engineering student from Mapua University, has developed innovative solar panels called AuREUS. These panels convert ultraviolet (UV) radiation into electricity using
While I''ve considered all types of panels, solar films, solar window technology and sustainability approaches, I''ve been asked what my view is on the most effective and sustainable design.
The system is designed using 80% sourced dyes from wasted food and vegetables as opposed to chemical ones, making the production of these panels more sustainable.
Suggested design optimizations for PVGs include increasing greenhouse height, using semi-transparent PV modules, and incorporating supplementary LED lighting. The economic return
Carvey Ehren Maigue, an engineering student at Mapúa University in Manila, Philippines, won the first James Dyson Sustainability award for his work in developing solar panels that can
