Their new solar cells absorb only infrared and ultraviolet light.
Transparent organic solar cells.
Partially transparent solar panels.
Transparent organic photovoltaics are identified as important components for building integrated photovoltaics and smart window technologies.
A german manufacturer heliatek gmb has developed this partially clear solar panel which can absorb about 60 percent of the sunlight it receives.
Visible light passes through the cells unimpeded so our eyes don t know they re there.
Compared to the conventional solar pv cells the partially.
They still collect energy from sunlight but can be made more flexible transparent or at least semi transparent and can be.
The transparent organic solar cells can also be customized for local latitudes taking advantage of the fact that they are most efficient when the sun s rays are hitting them at a perpendicular angle.

Organic solar cells oscs have a few advantages over other designs.
They can be placed in between the panes of double glazed windows.
