I love science-y articles. We can finally solve the, "we need power when it's dark" aspect of the solar cell. Yay.

Sounds pretty sweet. I'm not exactly sure why this is able to operate during night time though.

Yes and from the looks of it, it may need less energy due to the enormous wingspan compared to the size of the gondolas.
It does seem that this will need quite some time for refinement before it can be applied at a larger scale.
