Researchers at Michigan State University created transparent solar panels that have the potential to power buildings and can be retrofitted to older glass exteriors or windows. Researchers at Michigan ...

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 ...

When the idea of transparent solar panels first floated, it was seen as a futuristic technology that would help harness energy. Think of having your glass windows, car windshield, or even the screens ...

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 ...

Solar panels and solar power-generating windows are a couple of things people have come up with to take advantage of the Sun, but now a team of engineering researchers from Michigan State University ...

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, ...

Imagine a solar panel that is basically impossible to see. Korea is putting forth the first solar panel in history that is invisible. Thus far, the main challenge when it comes to adopting renewable ...

Silicon is king when it comes to solar panels, but the reign of that dark, opaque material could be near its end. An unassuming stretch of windows on Michigan State University's campus is poised to ...
