You could imagine how nice would be if all of your windows could catch the energy of sun and convert it to the electricity. This technology will soon become a reality with development of transparent solar panels. The organic molecules in the transparent panels will absorb infrared and ultraviolet radiation. Those organic molecules will then move to the edge of the panels where there are photovoltaic cells that are used to produce electricity. The main obstacle in this research is the level of opacity of the panels. Considering the fact that completely transparent solar panels are still ineffective, while opaque panels have similar effectiveness as the traditional silicon panels. The researchers are still working on the increase of the effectiveness of transparent panels, while opaque panels should still be interested for big skyscrapers and other buildings that are completely covered by glass windows. Enormous levels of energy could be obtained without sacrificing the aesthetic appearance of the buildings.
