Transparent solar panels absorb the light that passes through the glass panel and convert it into electricity to power a battery or device. Now mainly divided into partially transparent solar panels and fully transparent solar panels.
(1) Partially transparent solar panels, partially transparent solar panels with low transmittance only allows 60% of the solar light through, so the price is cheaper compared to fully transparent solar panels, this solar panel design is mainly used for large-scale use such as the replacement of glass windows in high-rise buildings.
(2) Transparent solar panels, translucent solar panels of high transmittance in more than 90%, the price is expensive, the conversion efficiency is lower at this stage, the original intention is to create transparent electronic devices without charger automatic charging, but now the technology is not yet mature to meet the vision.
(1) beautiful, transparent cell phones, computers, TVs, etc. in the future film and television blockbusters more beautiful, full of sense of technology, and at the same time in architectural design, such as high-rise buildings generally use the surface of the transparent glass, which can be a perfect alternative to the power can also be provided.
(2) higher convenience, eliminating the need to install traditional solar panels, transparent solar panels can be installed in any location will not affect the overall view of the building, while transparent solar panels are lighter in weight, transportation is also more convenient.
(3) allows natural light to enter, transparent solar panels is the most obvious advantage is to allow natural light through, for special cases, such as housing lighting, transparent greenhouses, etc. Transparent solar panels can not only provide electricity is also more convenient.
(1) low efficiency, transparent solar panels can not really be used in the market is the main reason for the efficiency is too low, against the traditional solar panels 25% conversion efficiency semi-transparent solar panels only 10%, fully transparent solar panels only 5%, completely unable to meet the demand for solar panels for power generation, if you want to achieve the desired effect you must use more transparent solar panels, not cost-effective.
(2) Low life expectancy, transparent solar panels are not made of silicon, but organic material for the life of silicon solar panels made of transparent solar panels, the efficiency of transparent solar panels fall faster, so the life expectancy is even lower, can not be used for a long time. At the same time, it is also easier to be damaged when encountering falling objects.
(3) Translucent solar panels use the same technology as traditional thin-film solar panels, which is a direct trade-off between transparency and efficiency, with low transparency and low efficiency.
(4) Expensive
Transparent solar panels are mainly used in architectural design instead of traditional glass windows, skylights. For a variety of electronic devices can also use solar panels by solar energy direct charging, in the field of electric vehicles can also be used to provide power for the car, agricultural greenhouses have a greater impact on the crops can effectively get sunlight and provide electricity for the work of the greenhouse.
Yes, but do not recommend, now transparent solar panels are not popular belonging to the new technology, not a lot into use, you a few can not buy in the local solar panels wholesalers, now the installation of transparent solar panels expensive at the same time can not effectively generate electricity.
Transparent solar panels at this stage of the technology is not mature enough, if you can solve the problem of efficiency, life, and quality in the future the use of transparent solar panels will become mainstream, he can meet the supply of any power use, without affecting the original function.
Transparent solar panels were first manufactured in 2014, the use of transparent solar panels put forward a lot of imagination, but it is all based on transparent solar panels to solve the problem, I believe that in the future transparent solar panels will be popularized and used.
