New Solar Panels Can Generate Energy From Rain Drops: Most of the bad press solar panels get has to do with their limited efficiency in bad weather. Sure, they might be great in New Mexico, but you wouldn’t use them as much in England. Well, a new innovation might soon change that. Chinese scientists have developed a way for solar panels to produce electricity using rain water. They coated the bottom side of the solar cell with a thin layer of graphene, which interacts with the positively charged ions found in rain drops. On rainy days, the solar cells can be reversed with the graphene pointing upwards.
