Photovoltaic panel food material design

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. Every year, mountains of perfectly good fruits and vegetables are thrown away. What if one invention could help fix both. . 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 technology accessible in the Philippines. “I would like to help people access clean technology in the Philippines,” he. . The particles are embedded in a flexible resin which can be shaped to the outside of buildings, electric cars and even boats. Solar power is a crucial tool in the fight against climate change. According to the design, the visible light reflects towards the edges of the panels, where PV cells will capture and. .
