You apparently haven’t thought very far because if you did you would know that an antenna does nothing but convert electromagnetic energy to electrical. The bigger the antenna, the bigger the voltage to the conductor. They use arrays of radio dish antennas to search the galaxy because more antennas means more voltage And when you link MILLIONS of antennas together, you get a much larger voltage.
thanks for the concise statement of fact. Better than I could have done. I don’t “engineer” electonics, I just fix whatever doesn’t work and apply new technology to solve current problems.

Only problem with that theory is that you have a very large aperture with the radiotelescopes, whereas a molecular antenna would have a very small aperture.
Remember that the solar flux at all wavelengths is about 1300 watts/square meter. As hot as a small volume of air can get, like between a storm door and a regular door, in sunlight, makes you wonder if direct conversion to electricity is barking up the wrong tree. Leaving it as heat and light may be a better answer.
I do know how antennas work. I think you meant "current" instead of "voltage".
"They use arrays of radio dish antennas to search the galaxy because more antennas means more voltage And when you link MILLIONS of antennas together, you get a much larger voltage."
Again, I think you meant "current", not "voltage" or at least, that's what you should have meant. In any case, all of those antennas that you refer to are coupled to amplifiers in order to make any meaningful use of the very weak signals.... even with all those antennas.
