For the solar farms, equip them with large banks of floodlights to generate electricity on cloudy days and nights. LOL good one!

Before we installed solar, my wife asked me if a nearby streetlight would give us a wee bit of power at night. The answer is no. Most of the solar radiation converted to power is from invisible light, not the visible light produced by street lights.

To: Tell It Right

“Most of the solar radiation converted to power is from invisible light, not the visible light produced by street lights.”

If it’s invisible, is it really “light”?

Asking for my evil twin.
