Anti-solar panels would be completely contrary to a classic solar panel that could work throughout the clock.

    Can we please stop up-voting links to this website? The articles are extremely bad, on the border of incomprehensible (Maybe GPT-2 written?) and very low on actual information. The technology they talk about here is (as far as I can tell) are not even a “anti-solar panel” but simply radiative cooling; total click bait.

      Solar panels work by converting the light energy to electricity. The way anti solar panel makes it sound is that it gets energy from the lack of light, which isn’t possible.

        I agree, but stretching the logic a bit: not all “solar panels” are photovoltaic. Some are simple heat collectors (often used for heating water) and those could be used in reverse during night times as radiative cooling to drive a stirling pump or something like that.

        But nothing of that is explained in this really bad article with the click-bait headline.

    Don’t get me wrong, solar panels are really cool. They can be pretty versatile, but aren’t very good for global energy production. Nuclear is a much more fesable source and is very sustainable.
