“A corresponding light utilization efficiency above 1.1% is achieved, which can be considered as one of the highest among inorganic semi-transparent solar cell technologies,” they explained.

The semi-transparent solar cells achieved a record-breaking efficiency of 21.68%, making them the most efficient among the perovskite solar cells using transparent electrodes in the world.

The transparent organic solar cell was initially unveiled in 2017, when the research group said the materials used needed to adjust to the ultraviolet and near infrared wavelengths which are ...

But imagine being able to place transparent solar cells on top of agricultural greenhouses or on the sides of buildings and on windows, closer to where they are needed. Osaka further envisions ...
