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 ...

Sunwarmed surfaces, sometimes too hot to touch, give us everyday evidence of the energy put out by our nearest star. Directing that energy into electricity production is nothing short of miraculous.

The research team’s semi-transparent solar concentrator can be directly coated onto standard window glass. It uses liquid crystal films to reflect and guide circularly-polarized sunlight to solar ...

The Japanese electronics manufacturer is testing its glass-based perovskite solar PV technology in office windows made by YKK AP, a construction and building materials company. Japanese electronics ...

Real-world image seen thorough a cyan-colored solar window. Particularly, windows represent a vast but underused opportunity for urban energy harvesting. However, most semitransparent solar ...

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) ...
