The key to this technology lies in its transparency. Unlike conventional solar panels that are opaque and often bulky, transparent solar windows allow visible light to pass through while capturing the non-visible parts of the light spectrum, like ultraviolet and infrared light, to generate electricity.
Imagine your bi-fold doors, skylights, or even your conservatory roof quietly generating electricity - no bulky roof panels, no visual clutter, just clean energy through the glass itself. That's the promise of transparent solar panels (also known as solar glass). What Exactly Are Transparent Solar Panels? How Do Transparent Solar Panels Work?
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.
The efficiency of transparent solar windows is currently lower than traditional solar panels because of the trade-off between transparency and power generation. Ongoing research and development are steadily improving their performance.
Transparent solar panels—also called invisible solar panels, see through solar panels, or photovoltaic glass—shine in different ways. While less efficient, they can be built into windows,
