solar window Archives – The Green Optimistic green tech news, since 2008 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 01:35:37 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 2667534 Solar Panel Windows Available in 4 Years https://www.greenoptimistic.com/solar-panel-windows-available/ https://www.greenoptimistic.com/solar-panel-windows-available/#comments Thu, 03 Sep 2015 05:21:48 +0000 https://www.greenoptimistic.com/?p=56497 Solar power will soon be more convenient that ever. SolarWindow Technologies has developed solar panels that can generate 50 times more energy than the current panels being used today. Greater electricity generation will help residential and commercial enthusiasts get a return on investment much more quickly. Unlike many technological advances, which promise exciting innovations decades down […]

They made use of conductive polymers, a thousand times thinner than human hair, assembled them together, and - voilà! Here's a working solar cell less then 1/4 the size of a grain of rice, producing electricity just like its big silicon brother, only cheaper.

They invented a special coating that can be applied to the window, which in turn transmits the light its edges, to some solar cells. In this way you'll still be able to see clearly through the window and collect solar energy.
