Transparent new solar technology offers novel ways to use electricity around your home and could automate new and existing window functions. But your windows are still just glass panes in a frame.

Solar windows are sheets of glass with photovoltaic properties. This allows solar windows to not only let light into buildings but to absorb the sun's energy and convert it into electricity. While ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cells. Interestingly, these can be 3D-printed onto windows, building façades, and flexible surfaces ...

The tantalizing idea behind solar windows is that the vertical surfaces on the outside of just about any building could unobtrusively generate electricity. But first, researchers and companies need to ...

Switch to solar with a system built for you. Solar windows, also known as photovoltaic (PV) windows or solar glass, are a type of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) technology. Designed to look ...
