Transparent Solar Panels: The Clear Method For The Future
When you consider photovoltaic panels, the instant photo that enters your mind is the typical blue-black panel that covers many a rooftop. In fact, many locate it odd, probably even paradoxical, that a things implied to harness power from the brilliant sunlight, comes with such a dark shape. This is by design, as the nearly-opaque panels are able to trap the optimum amount of sunshine, as well as hence generate solar energy with a higher price of performance (balancing 15%).
