If the very idea of a spray-on film that can turn windows into solar collectors sounds too good to be true, think again. After all, Japan's University of Tokyo did come up with a Wi-Fi-blocking paint, ...

Norwegian Company EnSol AS has developed a remarkable new spray-on solar film that allows windows to generate solar power without clouding the view. The material consists of metal nanoparticles ...

In a recently built office building in Boulder, Colorado, there are solar panels on the roof. But the building also has one of the world’s first installations of solar-window technology—transparent ...

Imagine you could put solar panels anywhere you'd put a pane of glass. That's the promise of solar windows, which could change the way we build. Claire Reilly was a video host, journalist and producer ...

video: Chemical engineers at the University of Texas in Austin are researching new "spray-on" applications for photovoltaic panels. With support from the National Science Foundation, Brian Korgel and ...

Solar windows are sheets of glass with photovoltaic properties. This allows solar windows to not only let light into buildings but to absorb the sun's energy and convert it into electricity. While ...

The tantalizing idea behind solar windows is that the vertical surfaces on the outside of just about any building could unobtrusively generate electricity. But first, researchers and companies need to ...
