You may recall that Tesla showed a single element tube as a radiant energy source in one of his radiant energy patents.Radiation is known to impart electrification to conductors: photoelectric effect, Compton Scattering, pair production, etc.

The photoelectric effect is what takes place in solar panels right? I assume tesla's radiant energy patent is different? Or is this a precursor to solar technology?
