Highly transparent solar cells have a 1000x greater power conversion efficiency
Solar panels often get a bad rap for spoiling the appearance of homes and businesses. Yet, this may be about to change.
A research group has fabricated a highly transparent solar cell with a 2D atomic sheet. These near-invisible solar cells achieved an average visible transparency of 79%, meaning they can, in theory, be placed everywhere - building windows, the front panel of cars, and even human skin.
