In recent decades, solar cells have become cheaper, more efficient, and environment friendly. However, current solar cells tend to be opaque, which prevents their wider use and integration into everyday materials, constrained to being lined up on roofs and in remote solar farms. The development of a fully transparent solar cell could result in the wider adoption of renewable energy inside people\u2019s homes and in commercial buildings.<\/p>\n
Joondong Kim from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Incheon National University, Korea, recently published a study in Journal of Power Sources<\/em><\/a>, outlining how he and his colleagues developed a fully transparent solar cell. “The unique features of transparent photovoltaic cells could have various applications in human technology,” says Kim.<\/p>\n
