A new study highlights a semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cell designed to work in places traditional panels can't, like windows and flexible surfaces. Using a 3D-printed pillar structure, the ...

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 ...

Researchers created transparent solar windows that capture sunlight at the edges, cutting PV cell needs while keeping buildings visually unchanged. The device, called a cholesteric unidirectional ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

A research team led by Nanjing University has introduced a transparent, colorless, and unidirectional solar concentrator that can be directly coated onto standard window glass. Utilizing cholesteric ...

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 ...

The research team’s semi-transparent solar concentrator can be directly coated onto standard window glass. It uses liquid crystal films to reflect and guide circularly-polarized sunlight to solar ...
