In a step closer to turning skyscrapers into power stations, researchers at the University of Michigan researchers have set a new efficiency record for transparent solar cells.
In a step closer to turning skyscrapers into power stations, researchers at the University of Michigan researchers have set a new efficiency record for transparent solar cells.
The team achieved 8.1 percent efficiency and 43.3 percent transparency with an organic, or carbon-based, design rather than conventional silicon. While the cells have a slight green tint, they are much more like the grey of sunglasses and automobile windows.
Buildings with glass facades typically have a coating on them …
