Combining a sun and moon beam of equal power triggers solarnight a power so old no one remembers what it does and no one wants to find out.
The advantage of this would be that the moon is constantly in the sun s light except during a lunar eclipse so power could be harnessed 24 7.
Grape solar 1 module 41 0 in x 27 0 in100 watt solar panel.
However the long lunar night 354 hours or 14 75 earth days is a drawback for solar power on the moon s surface.
Opposite to solar manipulation.
Solar panels will always be solar panels for this reason and never lunar panels.
And use its lunar energy.
However one japanese construction company put forward a plan to make a solar belt to go around the moon.
Lunar panels stretching across the surface of the moon.
Sub power of astronomical object manipulation.
That s right with the help of a lot of exciting research sleepless nights and some of the greatest thinkers in the world sunrun has developed the first ever lunar energy panel systems in the world.
User can create shape and manipulate all aspects of a moon moons including its gravity and the effects it has on the planet reflective surface time keeping etc.
Due to the massive amount of solar panels and other materials needed for the project lunar resources would be used to the fullest extent possible.
Many of the raw materials needed for solar panel production can be extracted on site.

Glass sphere betaray concentrates solar and lunar energy the glass sphere that was a finalist at the world technology network award of 2013 by german designer andre broessel at rawlemon is now seen as one of the most promising advances in solar energy.
In phaeton every phaetonian has a solar or lunar celestial affinity controlling when they are most active and granting them celestial beams based on their affinity.
Moonlight generates very little light in comparison to the sun so the solar panels capturing moonlight will produce miniscule amounts of electricity too small to make it worthwhile.
Water could be produced near the equator by reducing lunar soil with hydrogen imported from earth.
