Researchers Develop Transparent Solar Concentrator That Could Cover Windows, Electronics
Scientists at Michigan State University announced this week the creation of a “ transparent luminescent solar concentrator ” that could turn windows and even cellphone screens into solar-power generators.
Lunt and his team have developed a new material that can be placed over windows and create solar energy.
Researchers say that the solar conversion efficiency is around one percent.
Ideally, this could be increased to more than five percent.
Energy Information Agency, and that number is predicted to grow throughout the next decade.
