Transparent Solar Panels Record Efficiency

Generating renewable energy from buildings via transparent solar panels is looking more and more promising.

Transparent solar panels record efficiency.

The team achieved 8 1 efficiency and 43 3 transparency with an organic or carbon based design rather than conventional silicon. Transparent solar panels that could one day be used to generate renewable energy from buildings have reached a record breaking efficiency of 8 per cent researchers have said. In a step closer to skyscrapers that serve as power sources a team led by university of michigan researchers has set a new efficiency record for color neutral transparent solar cells.

A team from the university of michigan said they had also achieved 43 3 per cent transparency with their organic carbon based design rather than using conventional silicon. They broke the previous efficiency record and hit the all time high of 8 1 efficiency. Researchers used an organic carbon based design of solar panels that led to this incredible breakthrough. Solar panels are mostly made of silicon.
