Solar windows, also known as photovoltaic windows or solar glass, are a type of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) technology. Designed to look like windows and perform like solar panels, solar ...

Technology has changed a lot about your home. Your thermostat could be a smart thermostat, your doors might be unlocked by a phone and your refrigerator may have a touchscreen on it. But your windows ...

Korean researchers have developed transparent solar windows that generate power day and night using sunlight and indoor ...

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 ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Solar-collecting windows could make office buildings and skyscrapers more energy efficient, but harnessing solar power while retaining transparency ...

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 ...

A research team in China combined solar power generation from kesterite thin-film generation with a nickel-cobalt bimetal oxide (NiCoO2) electrochromic window. The proposed prototype not only realizes ...

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) ...

Perovskite solar cells are easier to make and customize than silicon ones, but it'll be a few years before you see them on your office window. In a nutshell, perovskite (say that 10 times slow) is the ...

Solar-collecting windows could make office buildings and skyscrapers more energy efficient, but harnessing solar power while retaining transparency is a tricky engineering problem. A new study from ...
