Solar Energy You Can See Through

摘要

For all its advantages, solar panel arrays have one obvious drawback - even with their reduced size, the space they occupy cannot be used for other purposes. Researchers at Michigan State University have developed a solution: a luminescent solar concentrator placed over a window that produces solar power while remaining transparent. Previous generations of luminescent solar concentrators are colored and can affect the aesthetic of a room. The new design,however, is as transparent as glass.
