Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Solar-collecting windows could make office buildings and skyscrapers more energy efficient, but harnessing solar power while retaining transparency ...

Sunwarmed surfaces, sometimes too hot to touch, give us everyday evidence of the energy put out by our nearest star. Directing that energy into electricity production is nothing short of miraculous.

Glass, wood, concrete, and steel are the longtime cornerstones of building, but to keep up with 21st-century needs, NEXT Energy Technologies is transforming one of the architect’s basic tools — glass ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers out of UCLA have developed an affordable-to-produce transparent solar cell that can be applied to windows, giving them the ability to generate electricity while still allowing people to ...

The Japanese electronics manufacturer is testing its glass-based perovskite solar PV technology in office windows made by YKK AP, a construction and building materials company. Japanese electronics ...

Solar-collecting windows could make office buildings and skyscrapers more energy efficient, but harnessing solar power while retaining transparency is a tricky engineering problem. A new study from ...
