Is it Possible for Solar Panels to Charge in the Moonlight?
Yes, it it possible to generate the solar energy in the night. Scientists Timothy Kucharski – has discover the solar enrgy generation in the night. https://solarpowerledlightingsolution.wordpress.com/2014/05/15/solar-power-generation/
Strictly speaking, solar panels depend on direct sunlight in order to produce electricity. Raw sunlight contains a number of energized particles, including the all-important photon. When photons from the sun strike one side of an array of solar panels, they essentially cause electrons to break off from one panel, cross a thin membrane and attach themselves to another panel. The crossing of the freed electrons is what generates a usable electrical current. If there were no photons striking the solar panels, the electrons would remain in place and no electricity would be generated. This is why dark clouds or nightfall are so problematic when generating solar power on a commercially viable scale. When the sunlight disappears, so does the electricity. The electricity produced during daylight hours is not lost forever, however. The excess electricity is stored in large batteries, and can provide power during overnight hours. The main reason standard solar panels cannot charge in the moonlig
