Electricity-generating windows? Swiss scientists design more efficient transparent solar panels

        November 5, 2022 euronews | Switzerland | renewables: solar

Swiss scientists have increased the efficiency of transparent dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) to 15% for direct light and 30% for ambient light. DSCs are flexible, low cost, and come in various colours, perfect for skylights, greenhouses, and glass-clad buildings. Windows in Lausanne, Copenhagen, and Lansing now employ solar cells to generate power.
