Researchers in South Korea have recently designed a transparent solar window technology that is capable of generating electricity continuously by using sunlight during the day and indoor lighting at ...

Windows are some of the biggest energy liabilities in modern buildings, yet they are also non‑negotiable for light, comfort, and design. A new class of clear materials promises to flip that equation, ...

A reflection-based solar cell design inspired by periscopes achieves near-complete visible transparency and record light utilization efficiency, outperforming all previous transparent photovoltaic ...

UCL researchers develop semi-transparent perovskite solar windows that generate electricity from sun and indoor light ...

A new kind of near-invisible solar cell could one day help everyday glass surfaces generate electricity. This could include car windows and sunroofs, smart glasses, wearables, building façades, and ...

Researchers in Europe are investigating semi-transparent solar windows, applying microfabrication technniques to both CIGS and perovskite devices, to overcome the view-impeding properties of earlier ...

Heliatek reached a new record in the efficiency of transparent solar cells. The latest development allows transparency levels up to 40% with an efficiency of over 7%. The company already holds the ...

Imagine a car whose windows and sunroof can help top up its battery while parked under the sun, or a pair of smart glasses whose lenses can harvest light to power built-in electronics. Such ...

Real-world image seen thorough a cyan-colored solar window. Particularly, windows represent a vast but underused opportunity for urban energy harvesting. However, most semitransparent solar ...

Semitransparent solar cells with natural looking color and strong heat blocking offer a realistic way for windows to generate electricity and cut energy use in large buildings. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

A global research team has developed a tandem solar cell with 30% transparency by combining perovskite and organic layers, achieving a record 12.3% efficiency for transparent solar cells. An ...
