What would it take for a solar cell to directly output alternating current? Edit: prior art: https://www.winlab.rutgers.edu/~crose/428_html/projects11/DirectAC

- jeffreygoesto 2y agoAlternating sun and moon exposure.
- WithinReason 2y agoSo Earth spinning very fast
- mr_toad 2y agoIt might be easier to spin the panel.
- XorNot 2y agoMicro inverters are a thing: https://enphase.com/en-au/installers/microinverters https://enphase.com/en-au/installers/microinverters They work for individual solar panels.
- euroderf 2y agoYes. These output AC per-panel. Connect'em in parallel. Presumably the amperage is related to the incident light intensity.
- pjc50 2y agoEntertaining idea, the panel with a 50Hz fan blade in front of it, but in practice it's much better to not compromise the beautiful simplicity of the photodiode and just stick an inverter on the back.
