Engineers at the University of Michigan and other institutions have created a new solar panel that is transparent enough to be used for windows in homes and businesses. In addition to being ...

In a world that relies on batteries and energy supplies, there's something quite attractive about the idea of a transparent surface that can harness the power of the sun. Think about it — the windows ...

Researchers at Michigan State University created transparent solar panels that have the potential to power buildings and can be retrofitted to older glass exteriors or windows. Researchers at Michigan ...

The hunt for a truly clean energy source that can replace our current fossil fuel systems is still underway. While we've seen breakthroughs in solar panels that don't need sunlight to generate energy, ...

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 ...

A new age for solar energy is at our front door, or more appropriately, our front window. Michigan State University chemical engineering professor Richard Lunt and his team have successfully created a ...

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. The team ...

Silicon is king when it comes to solar panels, but the reign of that dark, opaque material could be near its end. An unassuming stretch of windows on Michigan State University's campus is poised to ...

The development of a fully transparent solar panel by the Scientists of Michigan State aims to harness the power of the sun due to it being eco friendly and limitless. Without the downside of shadows ...
