Another bump in the road to using artificial light as a power source for solar panels is the economics of it all. Powering artificial light sources might cost more energy than the electricity produced by the panels. These raise questions about the economic feasibility of using artificial light as a power source for panels.
For example, you can use reflective surfaces to reflect artificial light onto solar panels. You can also use photovoltaic cells that convert both natural and artificial light into electricity. If you are interested in using solar power, it is important to do your research to figure out what will work best for your needs.
There exist scenarios where these lights can play a supportive role for solar panels. In indoor environments or places with low natural sunlight, artificial light can come to the rescue. To simplify, these lights provide a supplementary power source for the panels once the sun sets or when clouds block it.
However, the overall working isn’t restricted to artificial lights alone. The types of solar panels have an impact on energy generation too. Therefore, energy generation is a combination of compatible artificial lights and solar panels. What Are the Types of Solar Panels?
The intensity of light emission of the sun is strikingly powerful. In contrast, artificial lights like LEDs or fluorescent bulbs have frail spectral intensity. Hence, such sources are inefficient to power solar panel cells. The low spectral irradiance generates less energy to store for conversion. So, solar panels can generate electricity.
Incandescent light bulbs, specifically halogen bulbs, are the next best choice for solar panels. They can be placed in a desk lamp, and higher wattage incandescent bulbs will allow the solar panel to produce more power. Note that these bulbs will also get hotter with higher wattages.
Technically, solar power only works with natural sunlight. However, there are ways to use artificial light to supplement solar power. For example, you can use reflective …
