For anyone who has solar panels, you know how bad shade or cloudy days can be. That's where this breakthrough solar panel tech comes in, It is called AuREUS Solar panels, and they were invented by a very unlikely hero. Carvey Ehren Maigue, a student at Mapua University in the Philippines, invented the AuREUS concept. As a result, British James Dyson Foundation gave him the first Sustainability Award. But do they actually work, and what drawbacks might there be? We thought these questions deserved a deeper dive on Two Bit da Vinci!

    I think that a a good idea. I would like companies that do produce any panels to figure out how to drop their waste of materials ( I was going to say first but I don’t know if that’s right) they’re loosing tons of product in the production process. It’s a big number idk off the top of my head but look up processed silica and it’s not an efficient thing. Yet. I love innovation and improvement in all this stuff. Gets my mind rolling in random directions haha. (Babbling finished)

    I wish videos and articles on these concepts did a better job at making comparisons and tempering expectations of new tech. This concept responds to a given set of circumstances and might be great for certain scenarios, it’s not “better” than current crystalline silicon based solar. Today’s solar panels don’t lose efficiency when it’s cloudy they simply produce less power at a given moment, the day’s energy yield drops as there was less energy available that day…innovations that work well when cloudy or when there is reduced light energy available have limited impacts that need to be weighed against their trade offs, added cost, limited durability etc. I’m impressed by these innovations, this person has a great future. I like these videos but I’d like to point out that today’s solar and wind energy is already cheaper than coal! Get your systems installed. (I admit intermittency needs to be managed but time of use cost and storage can manage this)

I can't give a meaningful mA-h figure for the day because most of the time the panel is in the shadow of a building at this time of year. In summer this location is a sun trap so it will be interesting to compare the figures.

    I don't really like the idea of covering skyscrapers in "transparent" solar pannels, especially if they are colored like that. I think this is some niche application that has almost no usage, high cost and low efficiency. It is because the amount of energy sent by the sun is constant regarding the ground area. If you put solar on walls, this harvest lest energy by square metter on ground. Depending on the sun inclination it can achieve more efficiency than flat ground pannels, but the shadow casted by this will be far greater. Thus honnestly, for the area covered by skyscraper walls, you could cover lots of rooftops with it and probably be more efficient especially in densely packed areas where buildings cast shadows on each others depending on the time of the day. Moreover, if you look at power distribution through wavelenght, you find out that the most power is achieved at... visible wavelenght. So even with 100% efficiency pannels (traditionnal AND UV ones) you could not get the same output. And worst of all : I suppose that the energy conversion from UV to visible to harvest it is not perfect leading to lower overall efficiencies. As much as I'd like to see this working to solve energy crisis problems, I think there is some physic impossibilities here. I wonder if that is possible to cumulate BOTH of this : traditionnal solar with UV conversion films. Thus it could harvest both UV and visible light, improving the solar pannel efficicency. And if that is exactly the point (this is not clear from vid, does Aureus pannels alos gather visible light ?) then it might be really good. But what we saw is a semi-transparent solar pannel that let the visible light through...

    I think Carvey ought to contact SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. (WNDW). I think they may have a synergy, if combined, to leap ahead of current solar panel technology. If it can be brought up to industrial levels, I think Aureus will be the next big step in solar technology. This technology would be extremely beneficial in the auto industry if its panels can embedded into various surfaces of the auto similar to what already exists in vehicles such as the Aptera, the Sono Group N.V.( SEV) and others.

    I suspect that what is actually being proposed here is a panel that uses UV and transmits visible. Now this would actually work, in a ideal world you could cover windows with it and visually nothing is different but it would still generate a small amount of power. In principle this could also be done in IR where there is far more energy available but it is 'lower quality' energy which is harder to do anything with so I don't think this would ever be practical. The economic challenge is it is cheaper to have panels that use part of the visible light and generate power by slightly reducing the light transmission or panels that use the UV light and probably also reduce light as a unwanted side effect. The UV panels will need to be very good for this to work but fingers crossed that they can do it - it would be great.

    And then there is the lifetime of these panels. UV is nasty stuff and tends to degrade most things especially anything organic. What are these panels made of and what is the active compound/stuff/quantum dots/etc (this question used to be much easier but the world has moved on). I am guessing that current panels include a UV absorbant to protect against it but clearly this is not a option in a UV fluorescent panel. And then there is the issue that half the fluorescent light goes the wrong way so needs a wavelength specific reflector. I am still keen on the idea but the more I think about it the more problems I find :-(

    Okay I think I get it now. It’s converting uv to visible light wavelengths in order to produce electricity. I assume it can always use visible light and then on the cloudy days it can still produce electricity. Hell yeah this is great steps. I’ve always said green energy is inefficient and instead of producing a bad product pump that money into more R&D. Make a product that is feasible to incorporate into our grid and stop wasting it on large production. Innovate, test, and improve. Love this stuff. Side note we should probably figure out how to produce panels without the large amount of waste.

For every 100 to 500, really good new ideas maybe one of those become mass produced and come to market in an economically viable way. Being a naysayer means almost certainly that you’re going to be right, but that doesn’t mean you’re a genius, it simply means you’re playing a safe bet. Another way to look at this is that we need 500 really good ideas so that one of them might actually come to market and make the world a better place. Those people who come up with those 100 to 500 great ideas are the people who are the real geniuses. They are the truly brave ones who are playing the game where the odds are stacked against them. In mass they are the ones who make the wold a better place.

    The issue here is that this isn't a new good idea. This is something that has been tried in labs for decades and wasn't even worth the time and effort to put a patent on. It isn't that it doesn't work or can't work, it just can't work effectively for power generation with traditional solar as advertized. The idea is that translucent clouds block a lot of visible sunlight, making panels ineffective. So why not use a translucent material all the time to flitter the usable light down even more and make every day a cloudy day, but recover 10-16% of 5% of the spectrum for energy generation? It isn't that the material itself is not without uses. It is that using it as a layer on top of traditional solar becomes the exact problem that it is trying to solve for. On this surface this smells more like an investment scam of the uneducated public rather than useful future tech. And to be clear, a lot of really neat and interesting products and technologies have been accidental discoveries when trying to learn something entirely unrelated. And we should all be hesitant to go full thunderfoot and claim that some things which obviously are good and practical ideas are actually bad. But let's not set asside all skepticism either - too open a mind and your brain can fall out, and your wallet might follow.

    I don't think we have to worry about discarding perfectly good crops. Supermarkets waste enough fresh fruit and veg all over the world, crops are affected by pests and get thrown out (eg, bean seed fly or carrot fly). A farmer with a ruined crop should be able to contact someone and have the entire crop sold off for processing into solar panels instead. It's linking the customers to the processors which is the hard part in any industry. All too often that's the failing point. Like the way farm animals have entire fields dedicated to feeding them, when next door may be acres of allotments or arable fields some distance off growing fields of vegetables, the edible green stuff we waste but animals could eat discarded and left to rot. So this solar company needs to set up a unit dedicated solely to the collection of this waste matter, ensuring their contact details are freely and easily available for local growers, supermarkets and other relevant industries.

    As always that 2 bit da vinci energy is awesome! ... but lets not get taken for a ride on something either. There just isn't much UV light to work with, and it is far simpler to do a direct capture of UV light which can get similar efficiency to normal PV solar than making a film which re-emits in a different wave length. The issue there however is that the harsh nature of UV breaks down the material and panels need to be replaced more often. That is why most companies will use a UV film to prevent UV from ever reaching the panel in the first place. The energy created does not justify the cost of replacement, and a re-emission film like this would only hurt the normal solar efficiency. That being said - there are no bad products, only bad costs. So if you had a high UV environment and needed something that isn't as likely to break down, then this may be a good solution. So maybe something in space? Or some industrial process that uses UV? Or more as a sensor rather than power production? Or some future concentrated solar plant that sorts the warelengths first to more effeciently use UV, visible, and IR energy? There may be a good use for this, but right now it looks like a solution trying to find a problem still. Its like a 90s kid who had UV color changing shirts or cups and was like... I wonder if this could be used for something other than color changing pigments and UV resin? What I am really struggling with is how many large items are going to be socially acceptble in lime-green. I mean solar panels and windmills are beautiful and the nimby crowd is already dead-set against them. They would think the world was ending if a skyscrapter was covered in sheets of this lol.

    Look for MoonStudio's answer if you like numbers. Come with me if you prefer using just common sense alone. So, we have solar panels that work on visible light. And these panels need a lot of that light to give usable power. So, in cloudy days there's also lots of light, but it's so much darker, that these panels produce barely any power. What does our invention do? It converts UV into visible light. So much of it, that it makes panels much more powerful in cloudy days. Let me spell it once more. Thin glass produces more visible light than there comes from cloudy sky by itself. It must look much, much brighter than the cloudy sky by itself. So, do we see that in reality? Do we see that in pictures at least? Nope. Look at this glass and at white building and tell me which one is brighter. 4:56 Ok, visible or not. What about the power? Everyone knows that on cloudy days it's now so warm outside, right? No need any sophisticated equipment. Just fill some black bucket of cold water and compare how fast it gets hot in sunny and cloudy weather. Do we have the same power or at least camparable? No. If UV delivered any power, we would still see somewhat fast heating through clouds. But we don't and the reason is amount of that power. Looks like AuREUS is another "design" project from someone who doesn't care about physics.

    I’m two bits disappointed that you don’t do a basic check of how much energy could be harvested from UV light. The fact that life on earth is not radiated away is because we have an (ozone) atmosphere that is extremely efficient at blocking the dangerous UV light. This idea is just silly for that reason.

    I have a question: could it be that most of the earth’s heat escapes into outer space via the poles? Could that the the main reason that the poles are so cold?? I know that the poles are located where sunlight is weakest, but air and water current flow patterns ought to distribute heat to the poles----unless heat were escaping from the poles at an exaggerated rate due to the absence of the “magnetic bottle” effect that prevents heat loss where the bottle is intact.

    2:40 - Yes, there is also _aurora australis_ - southern light, of course. You know, Earth has _two_ magnetic poles. 3:00 - NO, not "usually gamma or UV radiation" - _charged_ particles (electrons, protons, perhaps some helium ions...) are "bashing" into air molecules. You mention correctly, just few seconds before, that solar wind consists of charged particles, and that some of those get trapped in Earth's magnetic field. So, this invention consists of conventional solar panel with a layer of organic fluorescent die. Clever. but you explained the whole concept pretty terribly.

    You know it's total BS when Two Bit da Vinci spends literally 1 minute of the 9.45 minutes of the video explaining where the name for the product comes from. This idea has been worked on for years. The main problem is that the power loss from the coating on a solar cell more than offsets the power gain from UV. Anyway, who would work/live in a room with these on the windows, creating a yellow room? PS Aurora does not specifically come from aurora borealis (northern lights) - there's also aurora australis (southern lights) as well.

    It's cool, but we have to know the numbers. EXAMPLE : in 1 day, there is 50% sun time and 50% cloud time (Fake numbers) 1) Normal solar --> Does 200 energy points in SUN time and 0 points in CLOUD time ---> 200 points per day 2) AuREUS soalr --> Does 80 energy points in SUN time and 50 points in CLOUD time --> 130 points per day BUT maybe AuREUS is cheaper ? so 130 is good for it's price... and the numbers are fake. So maybe it's more or less than 130 points.
