In a traditional solar fuel reactor, the process depends upon the solar thermal heat provided by the sun. When the sun disappears at night, so too does its energy. That’s why scientists have developed the world’s first solar fuel reactor that is able to function at night by relying on solar and thermal energy storage. Though still in its early stages, a full-scale all-hours solar fuel reactor would allow for low-impact access to clean hydrogen fuel when fully developed and deployed.
