Solar-collecting windows could make office buildings and skyscrapers more energy efficient, but harnessing solar power while retaining transparency is a tricky engineering problem. A new study from ...

Phillips’ solar panel is not exactly street-legal in New York. Current laws are designed for large solar panels, the types often found on roofs. Those must be professionally installed and connected to ...

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ubiquitous Energy, the leader in transparent solar technology, has installed the world’s first truly transparent solar window façade at its company headquarters ...

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ENEOS Holdings, Inc. (“ENEOS”) and Nippon Sheet Glass Co., Ltd. (“NSG”) have begun Japan's first installation of transparent solar panels for use as building ...

Researchers in South Korea have recently designed a transparent solar window technology that is capable of generating electricity continuously by using sunlight during the day and indoor lighting at ...

A new type of window had been developed and tested that produces electricity and simultaneously controls heat and light for indoor comfort. This has been achieved by researchers from the "ZIEZO" ...

Innovation is a way of life in the solar industry. Companies have to find new ways to cut costs, improve efficiency, and build new form factors or risk being replaced by someone who is thinking about ...

Researchers created transparent solar windows that capture sunlight at the edges, cutting PV cell needs while keeping buildings visually unchanged. The device, called a cholesteric unidirectional ...

Semitransparent solar cells with natural looking color and strong heat blocking offer a realistic way for windows to generate electricity and cut energy use in large buildings. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...
