it's the temperature of light emitter, not of the panel it's pretty much saying "efficient (for a photovoltaic) electricity from powerful infrared" Sun is 600

it's pretty much saying "efficient (for a photovoltaic) electricity from powerful infrared"
Sun is 6000 degrees, so most of its emergy is in different frequency
Instead, this panel is planned to be used in thermal batteries, I think the article says.
I guess main competition is steam turbine or smth?
- bestouff 3y agoFWIW when we say "a light at 6000 K" it means "a light with the same color as a black body heated to 6000 Kelvin", so it has nothing to do with temperature, it's only a (veery rough) way of characterizing color.
- jddj 3y agoAnd we also say that it's a "cooler" colour temperature than a black body only heated to 3500K. Go figure.
- gruturo 3y agoExcept that in the case of the Sun, it has all to do with temperature: its surface temperature indeed matches the emitted light temperature. The sun indeed qualifies as a black body (I know, it's pretty bright... but black body just means it doesn't reflect light coming from somewhere else)
