It’s Happening: See-Through Solar Windows Kick Fossil Energy To The Curb
The see-through solar field is poised for widespread adoption, as indicated by an array of more than 200 sleek, black solar windows to be installed at a building in Australia.

The emerging science of agrivoltaics is on track to collide with see-through solar panels, a new photovoltaic technology pioneered by researchers at Michigan State University.
New solar power window technology is finally edging into the commercial market, to transform buildings from energy-sucking structures into renewable energy generating stations.
See-through solar windows are crossing the Valley of Death that separates labwork from the world of commerce.
See-through, truly transparent solar windows could open the door to a whole new clean power revolution while conserving farmland and natural habitats, too.
CleanTechnica has previously covered transparent, two-layer solar film, but time flies — that was mostly back in 2012 and 2013.
Too much cleantech news is a good thing, but it sometimes means I need to stuff a bunch of big stories into one article. Following some roundups of autonomous driving news and battery & EV charging news, here’s one more roundup of some cool cleantech stories no one wanted to take and write full pieces about. This one is 100% focused on solar power.
Researchers at Princeton have developed a new solar cell that operates on near UV light to power smart windows that need no connection to a building’s existing electrical system.
Here’s some more solar energy news from around the interwebs: Michigan State University researchers have made some progress on transparent solar cells, a technology we’ve been covering for years but is yet to make it out of the lab. Michigan State’s transparent solar cells aren’t going to be commercialized anytime … [continued]
This article was first published on sister site Green Building Elements. A novel, transparent, two-layer solar film — possessing an impressive efficiency conversion of 7.3% — has been created by researchers at the University of California–Los Angeles. This is about double the transparent solar cell efficiency the researchers had previously … [continued]
