Transparent new solar technology offers novel ways to use electricity around your home and could automate new and existing window functions. But your windows are still just glass panes in a frame.

Researchers from the Technical University of Madrid in Spain have developed a building-integrated PV (BIPV) module that acts as a smart blind that protects building users from direct light, but still ...

A stained glass solar window on the floor of a CES 2024 press event was more than meets the eye. I was looking not just at an art object, but a solar panel capable of turning sunlight energy into ...

Scientists in China have developed a new way of harvesting solar power by applying a translucent coating over a window to direct energy from ambient light to the edge of the glass — where it can be ...

Researchers at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom has developed a novel type of smart window that integrates PV modules with polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC). PDLC is a smart film ...
