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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A man holding a cup of coffee holds back a curtain to look out a window. - S B Stock/Shutterstock Sunwarmed surfaces, sometimes too hot to touch, give us everyday evidence of the energy put out by our ...

China unveils results after replacing solar panels with transparent photovoltaic windows, achieving up to 75% lower energy ...

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 ...

In recent years, more people seem to be living and working from the road than ever before, whether it's in a large RV, travel trailer or camper van. To maximize the freedom of such a lifestyle, having ...

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.

With the growth of portable power stations as solar generators in the last decade, interest and competition has led to huge improvements in solar panel performance. When I began playing around with ...
