Solar energy has long been a go-to solution for sustainability, but traditional panels have their limitations. They’re big, rigid, and, let’s be honest, not the most visually appealing addition to a ...

In a recent article published in the journal PhotoniX, researchers from Nanjing University developed a new type of transparent and unidirectional solar concentrator. The study involved coating the ...

New semi-transparent solar cells use 3D-printed pillars to adjust color and light transmission without changing the solar material, ideal for windows and flexible surfaces. Using a 3D-printed pillar ...

A reflection-based solar cell design inspired by periscopes achieves near-complete visible transparency and record light utilization efficiency, outperforming all previous transparent photovoltaic ...

SHANNON, CLARE, IRELAND, February 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Announcing a new publication from Opto-Electronic ...

Heliatek reached a new record in the efficiency of transparent solar cells. The latest development allows transparency levels up to 40% with an efficiency of over 7%. The company already holds the ...

Solar power has long been seen as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. But its everyday use still faces hurdles. Traditional panels are bulky, stiff, and completely opaque. That makes them hard to fit ...

Announcing a new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250218 . As cities become taller, denser, and more energy-hungry ...

A European team is investigating a new type of thin film solar PV window that relies on microfabrication techniques to overcome the view-impeding opacity and unwanted coloring of earlier solar window ...

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 ...

Korean scientists have created a tunable, full-color solar window that does not lose its energy generation capability regardless of color.
