A transparent solar panel is essentially a counterintuitive idea because solar cells must absorb sunlight (photons) and convert them into power (electrons). When a solar glass is transparent, the sunlight will pass through the medium and defeat the purpose of utilizing sunlight.
When a solar glass is transparent, the sunlight will pass through the medium and defeat the purpose of utilizing sunlight. However, this new solar panel technology is changing the way solar cells absorb light.
Transparent solar panels represent a cutting-edge technology that, although still relatively uncommon in commercial applications, holds immense potential for the future. Their unique ability to generate energy while allowing visible light to pass through makes them a promising solution.
Well, clever scientists around the world have spotted a window of opportunity; transparent solar panels. That’s right – panes of glass that can convert the sun’s light into energy, without being nearly as obvious as traditional solar panels.
Approximately 60% of the total light is allowed to pass through the panels. Consequently, their efficiency currently stands at 7.2%, which is lower than that of traditional solar panels. Fully transparent solar panels, in their current state, are unable to capture visible sunlight for energy production.
So replacing windows in a house with 70% transparent solar panels, with average efficiency of 1% to 5%, isn’t going to produce much electricity. So far, the most viable way to use transparent solar in a domestic context is to use them as part of a greenhouse, and power the greenhouse lights and watering system with them.
