Did this come out on April 1st?
Solar panels store electricity? Don't think so....
Greetings,
Mr. RB. I think they'd be better off installing these in the pub pissoirs. Lots of stored up energy there. Just think of the advertising:
Guiness is good for you AND the environment.
Seriously? The name of that site is Science News Journal? And they can't even get a writer who has the remotest clue as to what he/she is writing?
I'm used to journalism majors making some obvious mistakes when writing science-related stories, but that one takes the cake.

Thanks Peter,
An interesting article. I will have to look at the journal more often.
What's not mentioned, is that probably today, it would take 10,000 years to pay back the cost of the panels.
Certainly an innovative idea.
I heard that the Irish were working on solar panels that work in the dark!
That's right after they send a man to the sun. He won't get burnt to a crisp because they are sending him at night!
Hence, RT 's solution could work if the output of the urinals was piped back to the roof and sprayed on the solar cells at night or in cloudy conditions. I wonder how many federal/state/local regulations that would violate.
