MIT claims 24/7 solar power

PORTLAND, Ore. — Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have combined a liquid catalyst with photovoltaic cells to achieve what they claim is a solar energy system that could generate electricity around the clock.

If I really wanted to get the best I'd have to move the ruckus modem to a window overlooking the street (currently in a closet).
