Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cells. Interestingly, ...

In most buildings, windows remain the most vulnerable part of the structure when it comes to energy loss. Worldwide, buildings account for roughly 40% of total energy use, much of it spent keeping ...

These seven solar technologies from CES 2026 reveal how automation, new materials, and recycling are reshaping the future.

A stained glass solar window on the floor of a CES 2024 press event was more than meets the eye. I was looking not just at an art object, but a solar panel capable of turning sunlight energy into ...

Windows are some of the biggest energy liabilities in modern buildings, yet they are also non‑negotiable for light, comfort, and design. A new class of clear materials promises to flip that equation, ...

A European team is investigating a new type of thin film solar PV window that relies on microfabrication techniques to overcome the view-impeding opacity and unwanted coloring of earlier solar window ...

Researchers from the Technical University of Madrid in Spain have developed a building-integrated PV (BIPV) module that acts as a smart blind that protects building users from direct light, but still ...

Semitransparent solar cells with natural looking color and strong heat blocking offer a realistic way for windows to generate electricity and cut energy use in large buildings. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

A new study reports the discovery of an entirely new stable, earth-abundant, high-performance material for solar absorbers -- the central part of a solar cell that turns light into electricity. While ...
