Researchers in Denmark have set a new world record in efficiency for converting sunlight into electricity by using new windows that allow light to pass through while simultaneously generating power.

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 ...

In a recently built office building in Boulder, Colorado, there are solar panels on the roof. But the building also has one of the world’s first installations of solar-window technology—transparent ...

Scientists have created a transparent solar coating that turns ordinary windows into clean energy generators without affecting clarity. Using cholesteric liquid crystal layers, the coating redirects ...

The hunt for a truly clean energy source that can replace our current fossil fuel systems is still underway. While we've seen breakthroughs in solar panels that don't need sunlight to generate energy, ...

We may soon be entering a whole new world of transparent solar panels that gather energy while doubling as windows, glass facades and even the screens of our portable electronic devices. These ...

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 ...

Imagine you could put solar panels anywhere you'd put a pane of glass. That's the promise of solar windows, which could change the way we build. Claire Reilly was a video host, journalist and producer ...

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 ...

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 ...

In an important step toward bringing transparent solar cells to home windows, researchers have developed a way to manufacture their highly efficient and semitransparent solar cells. In an important ...
