Australian researchers developed a low-cost reflective coating for semi-transparent solar roof tiles that lowers surface temperatures by up to 20 C and boosts power output by up to 11.7%. Simulations ...

Increasingly, building teams are comparing the use of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems for façades, roofs, and other architectural assemblies with a promising and much easier ...

European scientists have developed mini modules with an active area of 14 cm² and a 3.68% efficiency rating. The panels also have a self-adjusting feature that can help to mitigate the amount of light ...

Why it matters: Scientists have been working on creating transparent solar cells for years, achieving various milestones that have brought the technology closer to commercial applications. Now, a team ...

The increasing integration of photovoltaic (PV) technology into the building envelope represents a significant stride in sustainable construction and urban energy management. Building-integrated ...
