In 2020 the world s renewable energy capacity jumped 45% to 280 gigawatts in spite of the pandemic, part of an unusual boom in solar and wind energy, as stated by a new report from the International Energy Agency. It has been the highest annual rise since 1999.

The report states: A remarkable 90% increase in global wind capacity additions caused the expansion, It also cites a 23% increase in new solar power installations. Renewable power in 2020 was the only source of energy for which demand was increased . while there was a decrease in all other fuel consumption, says the IEA, whose goal is to make the energy supply in the world more affordable and sustainable, and reliable.

The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) has been developing a prototype, according to Robologic Lab, by integrating thermoradiative panels so that they can generate energy due to radiative cooling.
The parallels between a conventional solar panel and the proposed new night ones were observed by Jeremy Munday, an electrical and computer engineer from UC Davis. You have to use different materials, but the physics is the same, he added.
A regular solar cell produces electricity by absorbing sunlight, allowing a voltage to appear around the system and flow for current, Science Daily said. Light is generated instead in these modern devices, and the current and voltage go in the opposite direction, but you still produce electricity.
