Working with the help of CliffordK we came up with the idea of a black solar panel with a thermoelectric heatsink on the back.
A good place to use this would be in space. Daylight surface temp on the Moon is 134 0 C and Shade or night -153 0 C. I understand...

Hello everyone!
If you are a beginner to the solar electric world, then you may be
wondering what exactly solar energy panels are? It is really simple
and yet fascinatingly complicated. Solar energy panels are also known
as photovoltaic panels; photovoltaic...
