Solar Power Underwater

Shedding light on optimal materials for harvesting sunlight underwater. There may be many overlooked organic and inorganic materials that could be used to harness sunlight underwater and efficiently power autonomous submersible vehicles, report researchers. New research develops guidelines for optimal band gap values at a range of watery depths, demonstrating that various wide-band gap semiconductors, rather than the narrow-band semiconductors used in traditional silicon solar cells, are best equipped for underwater use.

Underwater Power Solar

Although as interesting as this may sound; I'd think that there could be other more useful ways to gain energy than trying to find a long distance or alternate ways to capture sunlight. Perhaps there may be energy sources at the deepest, darkest depths of the ocean that may prove more useful for future technology?

Although it is true that water has been used as a source of energy for several centuries, not only for the generation of hydraulic energy, but also from the concentration of sunlight, which is known as the amplification phenomenon.

Underwater Power Solar

Solar power underwear possibly the first step to populating small parts of the ocean, while not likely this is interesting.
