A transparency of about 80% has been achieved with power conversion efficiency of about 12–15% in transparent solar cells. These cells can be used in buildings, vehicles, and other desired applications to generate solar power. We discuss solar energy basics and its conversion technologies.
Transparency is a physical property that allows light to pass through without interrupting it. The core of this research is transparent solar cell (TSC) and its use in many applications that require optically transparent solar cells, such as car windows. What makes a material transparent is the arrangement of atoms and electrons in it.
Transparent photovoltaic is concretely approaching to the market. Hybrid solar cells can now exceed exploitable visible light transmittance. A real-case study on a simulated photovoltaic-powered office is proposed. Companies ready to commercialize transparent building-integrated photovoltaic products are reviewed.
Transparent solar panels may bring a revolution in low-power display devices and mobile applications. Vladimir Bulović of electrical engineering and computer science showing their transparent solar cells (upper), and Richard Lunt demonstrates the transparency of the novel solar cell at MIT (lower).
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.
Transparent luminescent solar cells use a different structure, in which the solar cells are placed on a frame, and NIR fluorescent transparent dyes are pasted on the active area. This meant that fluorescent paste would absorb NIR light and direct it to the edge of the glass, where it is converted to electricity.
