A device used to collect solar energy power has been pioneered by Michigan State University. These see- through solar materials can be applied to windows to represent a massive source of untapped energy. This product can produce and collect power much better than the solar units on rooftops.
This product can also reduce the use of fossil fuels and potentially produce 40 percent of US electricity demand. Highly transparent solar cells were analyzed to find their potential to "show that by harvesting visible light these devices can provide a similar electricity- generation potential as a rooftop solar while providing additional functionality to enhance the efficiency of buildings, automobiles and mobile electronics.” When this product is placed on a window, it does not obstruct the view, it is transparent. While on the window it creates solar energy by being a luminescent solar concentrator.
