Why Transparent Solar Panels Are The Future

[@engineeredarmy1152]

2:28 This is the future. You're not only generating power, not disturbing modern architecture, but also reducing the usage of ACs which damage ozone. Pros and potential of this technology is unbelievable. Others are cool too

[@Cheva-Pate]

Tell me please how AC damage ozone( layer?) ?

[@xnxxpurplebitch]

@fladave99 Mills well whats cool now a days is the ability to store solar energy in batteries which weren’t capable a decade ago, the idea is we just keep storing

[@nullbeyondo]

So basically it converts harmful rays from the sun into power, makes the glass glow, provides a clear see-through window filtered from UV and IR rays entering your eyes... honestly, I couldn't care less about efficiency when you've got all these advantages. 10% is actually pretty good as a start for such an important project. The only real problem is their cost. We need to produce more and encourage projects like this if their potential is actually that proven.

[@kyneticist]

@@johncampbell829 1815. The largest eruption for 750 years. It blocked sunlight for 1 year over north-east US and western Europe. It caused extreme hardship for the people in those regions, of course. One would hope that in the futuristic world in which we live we'd be better able to cope with such. The next in line was around the years 945, 535, 1159BCE... It's theorised that a warmer world enables larger volcanic eruptions or perhaps more accurately that colder (glacial) climates subdue them and less-cold climates effect on subduing them decreases. We're in much greater danger of good ol' war & famine in places that have traditionally been immune to conflict or disruption. If you're determined to search for dark clouds... I can't think of anything more likely or disruptive than resource insecurity (primarily fresh water) and the increasing wealth-inequality (and thereby social instability) that goes along with a scarcity of core resources. None of that inherently decreases the value or performance of solar cells; The availability of functional, affordable and prevalent solar energy might be key in mitigating the worst of such things.

@@XiloTheOdd There has never been a form of transportation that didn't leave a profound environmental footprint, even horses and wagons decimated large areas or land and left massive areas of waste in their trail. No manmade vehicle. whether electric or gas can tout no footprint. However, we can make ones that are less impactful than previous versions in time and with a lot more research and development. I believe electric vehicles have numerous downsides but that they are still far less impactful than gas-powered cars.

[@1964mcqueen]

Ubiquitous is a great name for the company and a great descriptor of solar in general. Of all the energy sources available, solar has the greatest potential to become ubiquitous, or close to it. From transparent panels in place of windows in buildings and vehicles, to roof-top panels and solar roof tiles, to agrivoltaic systems, solar can be blended nicely with structures and processes already in use, maximizing land use, using otherwise wasted building space, providing added cooling for crops, buildings and vehicles. Not to mention the relative ease with which solar can be deployed; especially important in developing nations where electric infrastructure is poor or non-existent in some areas..

Oh and as far as the first one mentioned, with the salt, maybe that can help with our brine problem with regards to the desalination of water. If you could use the brine left over from desalination processes to make solar windows I think that's a win-win.

[@roseannarabia6461]

@@sushmaranjini5636 I'm not sure what you are referring to, but I think you are asking what the salt is used for within the solar cells. If you go to the part in the video at 1:00 minute you will hear them speak about how organic salts are used in solar cells. My thinking, regarding my previous comment, is that if salt is used in the making of solar cells that maybe they could use the brine left over from desalination factories so that we can help reduce the waste products left over from them. I have no idea if that is feasible, but thought that it may be something to look into so that we are not only able to make more solar cell windows but also help reduce an unrelated problem such as brine waste.

[@yay-cat]

well I can tell you that laminate glass gets better acoustic (sound insulation) performance than normal float glass of the same thickness so that plastic-y layer might be a winner. It seems like most architectural projects use double glazing these days though for thermal reasons. like the 12mm or so gap between panes helps for thermal insulation (causes so resonance so not ideal for acoustics) but they usually specify one pane with some kind of coating to reduce glare or thermal gain. Basically - yeah I think they’ll buy it. It would be an extra bonus if the façade was compatible with a wooden structure because concrete is also a big problem in terms of carbon so architects are experimenting with materials to find more “green” building materials

This would be the future, but it would be more futuristic if we found a way to generate enough energy from the sun in small scale area.

[@terrysullivan1992]

There is only so much solar energy per sq. meter at any given Latitude. So far the efficiency of most affordable solar PV is around 20 %. That % is getting better but slowly. But there are huge areas of the earth's land surface that are unusable and pretty much barren. Example: lets say a solar PV "farm" of 200 sq. miles , that is 10 x 20 miles, were installed in north Nevada, USA. And lets assume that 1/2 of that area is solar panels or 100 sq. miles. A facility like that would be a tiny fraction of the land area there and no one would even see it. Such a solar plant could generate enough power to supply a large portion of the West coast of the USA. Several of these scattered across the country would provide over 50 % of our energy needs.

[@Thowe]

We could cover a small section of the Sahara Desert, and make enough energy to provide the whole world with an abundance. But, it would cost alot, they would have to be self cleaning, and it would require global effort
