Transparent solar cells, once a futuristic concept, are moving closer to reality thanks to a breakthrough from researchers at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). On Wednesday, the team ...

Solar energy has long been a go-to solution for sustainability, but traditional panels have their limitations. They’re big, rigid, and, let’s be honest, not the most visually appealing addition to a ...

Ubiquitous Energy and Michigan State University researchers have created a fully transparent solar concentrator, which could turn any window or sheet of glass (like your smartphone's screen) into a ...

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 ...

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 ...

New semi-transparent solar cells use 3D-printed pillars to adjust color and light transmission without changing the solar material, ideal for windows and flexible surfaces. Using a 3D-printed pillar ...

Solar power has long been seen as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. But its everyday use still faces hurdles. Traditional panels are bulky, stiff, and completely opaque. That makes them hard to fit ...

An international research team has achieved a record efficiency for transparent solar cells. Researchers in the EU-funded CitySolar project, which includes nine partners from seven countries, ...

A European team is investigating a new type of thin film solar PV window that relies on microfabrication techniques to overcome the view-impeding opacity and unwanted coloring of earlier solar window ...
