In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully tested underwater solar cells at a depth of 32 feet (10 meters) in the South China Sea. The technology, developed in collaboration with Tsinghua University and funded by China’s National Natural Science Foundation, demonstrated sustained energy generation even under low-light conditions typical of shallow marine environments.
These photovoltaic modules, sealed with advanced hydrophobic coatings and designed to withstand saltwater corrosion, harvested solar energy through transparent, pressure-resistant casings that allow sunlight penetration while protecting sensitive components. The success marks a pivotal step toward sustainable underwater power systems, potentially revolutionizing how remote oceanic infrastructure—such as monitoring buoys, subsea sensors, and underwater data centers—is powered.
