something interesting from biology that no one is aware of... plants that do photosynthesis can be stacked if they are different enough to grab different parts

something interesting from biology that no one is aware of...
plants that do photosynthesis can be stacked if they are different enough to grab different parts of the visual spectrum...it happens in oceans and tropics etc.
metal only get's electron excited in the uv light range and thus cannot be stacked.
Vertical farms do not stack those plants that grab different areas of visible spectrum as plants generally are dominant in one visible spectrum area more than the other one..red vs blue vs green
whereas algae specialize by the visible spectrum they grab for photosynthesis ie red, blue, and green algae...color reflected form them is not the color they use to photosynthesis ie red algae do not use red but a different color to photosynthesis
We are doing it wrong
we should build a bio-battery film of different algae and stack them to generate electricity from the sun instead of metal solar panels. Even transparency and other improvements only gets solar to 45% effectiveness...with algae we could get much higher
