Semi-transparent solar cells that could be added to windows to efficiently harvest energy from indoor light as well as the sun have been developed by an international team led by UCL researchers.
Window surfaces can be used for energy generation, as shown by a prototype of a semi-transparent perovskite solar module.
Imagine if the windows in your home or office could quietly generate electricity while still letting daylight in. That idea ...
