In this study, we propose an all-day solar power generator to achieve highly efficient and continuous electricity generation by harnessing the synergistic effects of photoelectric-thermoelectric conversion and latent thermal energy storage.
Here, we develop an all-day continuous power and freshwater generator (ACPFG) that innovatively integrates thermoelectric and evaporative cooling technologies. During the day, sunlight is absorbed and converted into heat by a low-emissivity absorber, while passive water flow establishes a substantial thermal gradient across the system.
The all-day solar power generator exhibits an average open-circuit voltage of 6.8 mV during daylight and a remaining 0.9 mV during nighttime. Importantly, the all-day solar power generator achieves dependable outdoor power supply for communication transmission in diverse environmental scenarios.
The emergence of 24-hour solar generation marks a fundamental shift in how solar fits into the broader power system. With the ability to deliver electricity around-the-clock, solar can now support 24/7 clean energy contracts (PPAs) for industries which require continuous power, not just daytime supply.
