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 ...

A reflection-based solar cell design inspired by periscopes achieves near-complete visible transparency and record light ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ubiquitous Energy, the world leader in transparent solar technology — the conversion of light into electricity using semiconducting materials all while ...
