Researchers have introduced a new and simple method to increase the efficiency of rooftop solar panels by storing more electricity in less sunlight.
A foreign news agency According to the report Researchers at the University of Ottawa in Canada have discovered a simple yet effective way to increase the efficiency of solar panels.
They discovered that having a reflective surface under the solar panels could help increase energy production and absorb more light.
According to the University of Ottawa, researchers improved the solar technology by placing “artificial ground reflectors,” or highly reflective white surfaces, under the panels.
The researchers claim that this simple adjustment would increase energy production by 4.5 percent. That means more electricity can be stored even in low sunlight.
A researcher on the research team said that these reflectors should be placed directly under the solar panels for maximum benefit, rather than between the rows.
