Wasted Energy is Used in a New Solar Panel Design to Create Water from Air

Solar

Solar panels typically generate surplus heat while creating green energy, which is then wasted. Now, scientists have discovered a method to utilize those valuable leftovers to offer power generators a second purpose: extracting water out of thin air, thanks to a new, unique design, Cnet writes. The self-contained device works by laying solar panels over …
