An integrated electricity generator harnessing water and solar
Although solar panels and droplet-based electricity generators (DEGs) are capable of harnessing solar and water energy, respectively, developing new technologies that collect both
An integrated electricity generator seamlessly integrates the solar panel and DEG without sacrificing individual performance. A common-electrode design is proposed to eliminate the inevitable loss of optical transmission in previous works.
However, solar panels are also susceptible to stringent requirements on weather conditions and fail to output electricity on rainy days or at night efficiently. Integrating solar panels with other generators operating in various working conditions appears to be a promising solution to eliminate weather dependence , , .
Although solar panels and droplet-based electricity generators (DEGs) are capable of harnessing solar and water energy, respectively, developing new technologies that collect both energy sources without scarifying their respective performance remains challenging owing to their contrary requirements on weather conditions.
To eliminate the solar panel photovoltaic efficiency decrement in conventional hybrid solar-water electricity generators and improve the water energy harvesting efficiency, we developed a hybrid electricity generator with common-electrode architecture (HEG-CEA), in which the solar panel shares the positive electrode with the DEG.
