By turning everyday surfaces into power generators, transparent solar panels could redefine how we produce and consume energy, paving the way for a cleaner, greener future.
This innovative approach ensures that windows and other transparent surfaces can generate electricity without losing clarity or altering their appearance. Since its inception, transparent solar technology has evolved, achieving remarkable strides in energy efficiency and practical applications.
Companies like Ubiquitous Energy are leading the way in commercializing these technologies, achieving conversion efficiencies close to 10% and exploring scalable manufacturing processes. The future of transparent solar panels is promising.
The applications of transparent solar panels are vast and diverse, spanning multiple industries. In architecture, these panels can be seamlessly integrated into buildings as windows, facades, or skylights, turning structures into self-sustaining energy sources.
A German manufacturer, Heliatek Gmb, has developed this partially clear solar panel, which can absorb about 60 percent of the sunlight it receives. Compared to the conventional solar PV cells, the partially transparent solar panels have a lower efficiency at 7.2%.
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.
