The engineers managed to “build” solar panels directly into the windows

The publication Nano Energy reported that Australian engineers managed to “build in” solar

panels directly into the windows.

So, scientists used an organic semiconductor from which a polymer can be made, and then replaced it with a more traditional component in the creation of solar panels known as Spiro-OMeTAD.

”Solar Energy Conversion Efficiencyon the roof is from 15 to 20%. Translucent cells have a conversion efficiency of 17%, while transmitting more than 10% of the incoming light, so they are located directly in the zone of ultraviolet radiation. I have long dreamed of having windows that generate electricity, and now this is becoming a reality. We will strive to develop a large-scale glass production process that can be easily transferred to industry so that manufacturers can easily master this technology, ”said Jacek Jaseniak from the ARC Center for Advanced Technology.
