Cloudy Side Up

“Sunny side up” has long been used as a metaphor for good times ahead.  But what if the sun is hiding behind clouds?

When it comes to solar panels, that has not been ideal.  They perform best when sunlight is direct.  That is, until now.

Carvey Ehren Maigue of the Philippines invented a solar panel that relies upon ultraviolet rays which clouds don’t hamper.  It contains particles from fruits and vegetables that can convert such rays into visible light.  Better yet, these particles are embedded within a resin film that can be applied to windows. cars, and perhaps to clothing.
