Underwater Solar Panels Tested in South China Sea
Original: Underwater Solar Panels Tested at Ten Metres in the South China Sea
Researchers have tested underwater solar panels at a depth of ten metres in the South China Sea, according to an industry report. The trial explores whether photovoltaic systems can generate usable power below the surface, where light is weaker but conditions are more stable. Details on efficiency results and which institution led the test have not been released, leaving the technology's practical prospects uncertain.
