In a world that relies on batteries and energy supplies, there's something quite attractive about the idea of a transparent surface that can harness the power of the sun. Think about it — the windows ...

The hunt for a truly clean energy source that can replace our current fossil fuel systems is still underway. While we've seen breakthroughs in solar panels that don't need sunlight to generate energy, ...

Transparent solar panels -- think about it for a moment: Sheets of transparent glass or plastic film that also generate electricity. It's almost the perfect solution for all our energy needs, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Why it matters: Scientists have been working on creating transparent solar cells for years, achieving various milestones that have brought the technology closer to commercial applications. Now, a team ...

Scientists in Spain have developed an amorphous-silicon solar cell that could be used in both transparent photovoltaics and tandem applications. The device reportedly achieves notable efficiency ...
