Scientists generate solar power 10 metres beneath the sea
Researchers have successfully generated solar power from panels placed 10 metres below the sea surface, according to a Euronews report. The experiment suggests underwater photovoltaic systems could one day complement offshore wind and floating solar farms, though questions remain about efficiency losses, maintenance costs and marine impact. The findings have drawn interest as countries look for new ways to expand renewable energy capacity.
Why now: Underwater solar is a novel twist on renewables at a time of intense interest in scaling clean energy.
