Photovoltaic glass, also known as solar glass or transparent solar panels, is a type of smart glass that uses embedded photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity to generate electricity.
The main difference between photovoltaic glass technologies and traditional solar photovoltaics (PV) is that the newer panels are built into the structure rather than being added on top, which provides an incentive for users concerned about balancing aesthetics and functionality.
Transparent Photovoltaic Smart Glass converts ultraviolet and infrared to electricity while transmitting visible light into building interiors, enabling a more sustainable and efficient use of natural daylight. This article introduces transparent photovoltaic smart glass, which generates electricity from sunlight using invisible internal layers.
The operation of photovoltaic windows is based on principles similar to traditional solar panels. These windows incorporate thin-film photovoltaic cells that can capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. Modern solutions enable the use of transparent cells that do not interfere with the function of windows as sources of daylight.
Many manufacturers refer to this genre as transparent photovoltaic glass, but we see no reason for the glass to be limited to only transmitting visible wavelengths (approx. 380 nm to 750 nm). Photovoltaic (PV) smart glass could be designed to convert UV and infrared to electricity while :
