Solar windows are exactly what they sound like! They’re transparent windows that also absorb sunlight and turn it into electricity. Instead of using silicon, which is deep blue and completely opaque, to harvest electricity like most conventional solar panels, solar windows use something. .
Solar windows are a very exciting part of what’s called Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). Again, this is exactly what it sounds like: solar cells (ie photovoltaics). .
A few different companies either currently manufacture solar windows or are testing them for commercialization. Sharp – In 2013, Sharp. .
Installing solar on your home – no matter the technology – is all about saving money. The cheaper the equipment and installation, the faster you can see a return on your investment. [pdf]
