Transparent Solar Cells Development

Higher education and research

Nanotechnology research

Solar cells designed to be largely invisible to the human eye while still capable of converting light energy into electricity. These cells absorb infrared light and are made from lightweight, flexible plastic-like materials.

The mechanism by which the transparent solar cells generate electricity by capturing infrared radiation rather than visible light.

UCLA research and development effort to create transparent solar cells capable of generating electricity while remaining largely invisible to the human eye. The cells absorb infrared light and are made from lightweight, flexible plastic-like materials.

Solar cells that are 70% invisible to the human eye and capable of generating electricity by absorbing infrared light. Made from lightweight, flexible plastic-like materials suitable for window integration and large-scale affordable production.
