How do you use solar radiation when you don’t receive solar radiation?
Obviously, the answer is you don’t.
But I imagine they’re doing something funny and like oh we use the radiation to heat molten salt, and when we don’t have new solar radiation we use the heat from the salt to generate power… Effectively just a battery system attached to a solar system for a funny headline
Yeah, having just watched the video, that’s exactly what they are doing. It’s great to be excited, but there’s no reason to lie in the title. This is not solar power at night. This is thermal batteries!

I agree, they definitely chose a click-baity title. I’ll edit it here to reflect what it really is.
