Scientists are experimenting with new technologies that can turn moonlight into electricity using ultra sensitive nanomaterials. These systems are designed to capture the faint sunlight reflected off the Moon and convert it into usable power, performing up to 35 percent better than conventional solar panels in low light conditions.
Moonlight will not replace daytime solar energy, but it could provide a gentle, continuous flow of power after sunset. This could reduce dependence on batteries and help smooth energy supply through the night. If developed further, clean energy may soon run around the clock by using even the weakest light nature provides.
