What if windows could generate electricity? In pursuit of an answer, a team of Chinese researchers found a way to drastically improve a type of glass that can be used with solar technology, according ...

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 ...

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) ...

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.

In a recent article published in the journal PhotoniX, researchers from Nanjing University developed a new type of transparent and unidirectional solar concentrator. The study involved coating the ...
