UV Power Plants

A niche but brutal form of energy capture focused on the high-energy end of the light spectrum. These plants use specialized photovoltaic cells or thermal systems tuned to efficiently absorb ultraviolet light, which is more energetic than visible light. This is particularly useful in space (where UV isn't filtered by an atmosphere) or on planets with thin ozone layers. They represent a more specialized, high-efficiency form of solar power that ignores the visible light we see, instead harvesting the more powerful, invisible rays that give you sunburns.

*Example: "On Titan, the dim sunlight makes normal solar panels useless. But the high-altitude UV is still strong, so our entire outpost runs on UV power plants with collectors on the mountain peaks, soaking up the invisible rays that pierce the haze."
