No. It’s not a solar panel. It’s photoshop. If you watch the video, the tech they are discussing is in the “two alligator clips connected to a dime size piece of material” stage.

I made sure to mention that in the post body text, especially as Matt annoyingly often makes videos about pie in the sky tech. I just thought it was neat that, in concept at least, this technology could become something we see in the world in 20 or 30 years.

Ah, the clickbait thumbnail. I was confused since you said the headline was a question.

[–] YourPrivatHater@ani.social 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah that might have been confusing.

Great, we'll have to water the solar panels one of these days.
