    Yup. If we also get transparent solar panels (that only absorb invisible light), we could put them basically anywhere. Solar panel picnic blankets. Solar panel doormats. Solar panel monitors!

      the reason that solar panels are black is that most of the incoming energy from the sun comes as visible light. If we leave that light unabsorbed, we loose out.

        Transparent solar panels make more energy than no solar panels.

      I want to see a wiring diagram that would take advantage of the invisible solar panels. Wiring up invisible solar panels sounds very difficult, unless you use wireless power transmission as Tesla tried to invent?
