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.

One of the hindrances to large-scale solar adoption, especially in cities, is where to install the chunky panels. Rooftops?

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 ...

Imagine a car whose windows and sunroof can help top up its battery while parked under the sun, or a pair of smart glasses whose lenses can harvest light to power built-in electronics.

Solar windows use semi-transparent solar cells to replace regular window glass, allowing light through while generating power, which could soon lead to powering massive structures like skyscrapers.

But the lights in the company conference room are being powered by the windows, which are also acting as solar collectors. “That’s kind of the problem we set out to solve with our technology, is how ...
