Increasing summer temperatures caused by climate change have heightened the demand for environmentally friendly technologies that ensure a stable electricity supply.
Scientists have developed a transparent window that is capable of converting sunlight into electricity.
Yes, indeed, experts from Denmark have developed a new window that converts sunlight into electricity when light passes through it.
This is a window based on Transparent Solar Swell technology that will turn high-rise buildings and offices into environmentally friendly power plants.
This window was created as part of the City Solar project, which aims to provide all new buildings with eco-friendly energy by 2050.
Researchers at the University of Southern Denmark have integrated organic solar cells with a material known as perovskite, which achieves an efficiency of 12.3 percent compared to conventional solar cells.
According to the research team, these panels are up to 30 percent transparent.
Such windows based on transparent solar cells have been worked on before, but they failed to absorb enough sunlight to generate enough electricity to power a building.
But according to the City Solar Project, they have overcome these problems.
According to the research team, transparent solar cells will be a major step towards energy production.
Scientists state that large glass windows in modern office buildings can now generate energy without requiring additional space or structural changes.
He said that the materials being used for these cells are very cheap and can be used on a large scale.
Work is still ongoing, so it is difficult to say when these solar windows will be available to the general public.
