Is transparent solar a viable alternative to opaque photovoltaics?

Transparency offers integration routes unavailable to opaque photovoltaics. Here, Lunt and co-workers review recent progress in transparent solar technologies, highlight technical challenges and measurement considerations, and review performance requirements for various applications.

Are transparent energy-harvesting windows a practical building-integrated photovoltaic?

Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Transparent energy-harvesting windows are emerging as practical building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), capable of generating electricity while simultaneously reducing heating and cooling demands.

Are photovoltaics transparent?

Here, we review recent advances in photovoltaics with varying degrees of visible light transparency. We discuss the figures of merit necessary to characterize transparent photovoltaics, and outline the requirements to enable their widespread adoption in buildings, windows, electronic device displays, and automobiles.

Could transparent photovoltaic cells be used in human technology?

"The unique features of transparent photovoltaic cells could have various applications in human technology," says Prof. Kim. The idea of transparent solar cells is well known, but this novel application where scientists have been able to translate this idea into practice is a crucial new finding.

Could organic semiconductors be the best alternative absorber for Photovoltaic windows?

The recent development of materials that yield simultaneously high levels of efficiency and transparency brings the opportunity to enter important niche markets, such as transparent photovoltaic windows, in which organic semiconductors might become the best alternative absorber.

Can a photovoltaic system be used in a green building?

In principle, integrating photovoltaic (PV) systems into “green” buildings can provide a significant additional source of energy generation located at any surface available within the building’s envelope, with the energy generated being accessible immediately at the point of use.
