Robin,
This thickness of coverslide stops the low-energy trapped protons of the
Van Allen belts that would cut the cell efficiency by ~30% in not too many
months.

If there is nuclear war it will be over Taiwan/Nth. Korea not Ukraine. Putin

Hi,
ESA apparently place a 0.1 mm layer of glass before their solar cells, to
protect them from radiation. This gives them a
projected lifetime of 15 years according to

Hi,
One possible reason for a large increase in alien presence is that we may be
about to suffer an E.L.E. and they want to
record as much info as possible while they still can.

Do you mean, if you were living on the moon? I think that is right.

To many people here restart the long time dead hot fusion dream
Hot fusion of all forms produces high energy (> 10MeV) neutrons. These
carry away most reaction energy. But there is no way to harvest it.
Except in a very thick wall as very low grade temperature...
Research like ITER simpl
Even so - isn't it true that the bottom line is that it will be far cheaper to
make solar cells, given the abundance of silicon on the moon - and get
electrical power that way compared with fusion.
Far far far cheaper.

Well, we need a hot Fusion device first.
