Researchers in Hong Kong developed a game-changing new solar device that could revolutionize how clean emergency power is supplied to areas recovering from disasters.

By integrating photovoltaic technology into a helium-filled balloon, this system is designed to provide emergency power for post-disaster recovery efforts.

Unlike conventional solar panels, the BIPVS can be easily assembled and disassembled, making it ideal for regions with extreme winters .
