solar cells
Would it be possible to line the inside of a pool with solar cells?
I was wondering if you could use solar cells, instead of tile, to floor a pool? Would the water effect this? Would this be a dumb idea?
Thanks to the first two responses! I was wondering though, would the water not magnify the light?
You probably could, but from an efficiency point of view it might be silly to keep your solar panels at the bottom of a 10′ hole, since that will shorten the number of hours per day of sun they get.
You’d probably also have to be careful with the connections, to make sure the water doesn’t get behind the panels and cause a short.
Update: I don’t think the water would magnify the light. I’m saying this only because I scuba dive, and the deeper you go, the darker it gets. Now, putting a curved lens over your solar panel will help. But since the surface of the water is flat, I don’t think it will be beneficial.
