Solar Panels On Skyscrapers

The team achieved 8 1 efficiency and 43 3 transparency with an organic or carbon based design rather than conventional silicon.

Solar panels on skyscrapers.

In a step closer to skyscrapers that serve as power sources a team led by university of michigan researchers has set a new efficiency record for color neutral transparent solar cells. That future might be closer than you think. As solar panels get cheaper the world is likely to see more skyscrapers covered in solar panels collecting energy much like trees do. Images of this unique skyscraper can be seen below.

In a step closer to skyscrapers that serve as power sources a team led by university of michigan researchers has set a new efficiency record for color neutral transparent solar cells. In a forest the tallest tree has the advantage of collecting. University of michigan this has been made possible by a seemingly. The team achieved 8 1 efficiency and 43 3 transparency with an organic or carbon based design rather than conventional silicon.

In labs around the world scientists and engineers are working to transform skyscrapers into giant solar energy generating pylons. Besides the solar panels the roof of the building has 24 wind turbines that generate 10 of the building s power requirements.
