Why Transparent Solar Panels Are The Future

A visionary new technology wants to upend the way we power society by harvesting solar energy from windows on your home, the windscreen of your car, and even from the screen of your smartphone.

Transparent solar panels offer a clear solution to the problem of where to put new photovoltaic cells. The plan is architects going forwards can simply coat the next generation of skyscrapers with high-tech panes of this groovy generative glass.

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

[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.

you've rebranded from techvision to VISION? the narrator's voice is what reminded me

[roseannarabia]

Yes, when it's proven effective and it's at a price that I can afford.

[Cembadyx]

If this can actually be applied on a massive scale within the next decade or so this could revolutionize our transition to green energy. Of course there are always the cons to every idea; but its just truly fantastic to see how innovative we have become, really brings out the good in humanity

What i appreciate the most about this channel is that they put english subtitles in the caption available

[briccup]

That sounds nearly too good to be true. If affordable I would definitely install those as my homes windows and - if if I had one - on my electric vehicle. And greenhouses could produce not only greens, but power, too (if the throughcoming light is processable for the plants). We could set transparent solar panels above cropfields instead of blocking huge spaces.

Thanks for addressing potential arguments; they make your argument even stronger! Additionally, I love this channel's content in general and the emphasis on statistics to maximize significance. Glad I subscribed!

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..

this showed up in my recommendations after watching a review of the ioniq5 (a car with a solar roof). the algorithm is playing close attention!

[Sacrimony]

This video is so informative and has so many puns. How could I not leave a like?

[brianeibisch]

The more different systems we have to gain renewables energy the more stable a renewables energy grid will be. This is a fantastic idea with seemingly massive potential; great stuff.

[darpansoni]

Great video...
You changed your channel name right..?
From techvision to Vision

[JohnsonChiw]

Sound interesting as polytunnel in tropical weather can use this to power up their fans and cooling system

[ZebbMassiv]

Been hearing of this technology for over a decade. It'll never leave the lab.

[marshartdegen]

I am using 100% of electricity in my life, cooking, computer, phone, and I use E-bike, so everything by electricity since I was born. I have no any tool use oil/gas. lol

Seems like a good idea for smart glasses

That along with...

-LCD panels (as translucent video displays, not just as light filters)
-Built-in open-ear headphones
-Optical phased array cameras
-A projection trackpad and recognition of shorthand

[LERJizz]

For the right price, definitely! 🌞 ⚡️

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.
