A team of South Korean scientists has developed a transparent solar-window technology that could turn ordinary windows into electricity-generating surfaces without significantly obstructing the view.
The technology was detailed in a study published under the title Scalable hybrid solar window with high transparency, high efficiency, and superior color rendering.
The research, led by Professor Yongseok Jun of Korea University in collaboration with researchers from Korea Aerospace University and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), addresses one of the biggest challenges facing transparent solar technology.
This is how to generate meaningful amounts of electricity without making a window too dark or altering the appearance of objects seen through it.
