Researchers at Tohoku University in Japan have announced that they have succeeded in producing a transparent solar panel. So, what will this “transparent” solar panel do?
Today, panels that collect solar energy consist of silicon cells, metal frame, glass enclosure unit, linear current and alternating current cables, and they find a place for themselves on the roofs of houses or solar fields like a tablet when viewed. However, these “transparent” solar panels developed by Japanese researchers are invisible thanks to their transparent and thin structure, and they are not inferior to solar panels in terms of performance, especially when considering the use and scale.
While the researchers say that this panel they developed has a wide variety of uses due to its transparency, they show the screen of your smartphone or the window of your home among the application areas. In other words, it is possible to equip every place with solar panels and thus generate electricity with these transparent panels.
