Chinese Team Tests Underwater Solar Panels at 10m Depth Near Weizhou Islands

Chinese researchers successfully generated electricity from solar panels submerged 10 meters underwater near the Weizhou Islands, using wavelengths that penetrate seawater. The two-hour test demonstrates a novel approach to marine solar energy, though scalability and efficiency remain unquantified. This is a proof-of-concept that could open new avenues for offshore energy generation.
