Electric rain? Solar panel turns raindrops into power

“All-weather solar cells are promising in solving the energy crisis,” explain the scientists from Ocean University of China and Yunnan Normal University, noting that the technology combines an electron-enriched graphene electrode with a dye-sensitized solar cell. “The new solar cell can be excited by incident light on sunny days and raindrops on rainy days,” they add.

This project sounds like it takes all that surface area covered by solar panels and turns it into usable water as well. How awesome is that.
