Transparent solar panels were pioneered at Michigan State University and are now being installed commercially. Solar windows look like regular glass windows, but act like solar panels, generating electricity from the sun. Transparent solar panels were pioneered at Michigan State University and are now being installed commercially.
Transparent solar panels look like clear glass and let light through like regular windows. But they’re made with a type of solar glass that absorbs ultraviolet and infrared light – types of light that aren’t visible to the naked eye – and turn these into renewable electricity.
Transparent photovoltaics (TPVs), which combine visible transparency and solar energy conversion, are being developed for applications in which conventional opaque solar cells are unlikely to be feasible, such as windows of buildings or vehicles.
Ubiquitous Energy, in partnership with a leading glass manufacturer NSG Group, is developing Ubiquitous’s unique ClearView Power technology to integrate transparent solar panels into architectural glass windows. ClearView Power’s transparent solar coating can be directly applied to building windows at the time of the normal glass making process.
Michigan State University (MSU) researchers first created a transparent solar concentrator in 2014. By 2020, they achieved full transparency for the solar glass. This technology has the revolutionary technological potential of transforming buildings into solar energy producers.
