Ann Morgan considered herself well read — until she discovered the “massive blindspot” on her bookshelf. Amid a multitude of English and American authors, there were very few books from beyond the English-speaking world. So she set an ambitious goal: to read one book from every country in the world over the course of a…

This should go on the roof of vehicles that can take better angle of solar than a squared home or building.

This isn’t going anywhere. Windows are at an angel that don’t really perpendicular to the sun ray. And there are obstacles like trees, awnings, etc. and 5-10% conversion? Forget about it.

So instead of low-efficiency see-through solar windows, how about high-efficiency house sidings that looks like regular sidings?
CodePlay

I think upping the efficiency of solar panels should take priority over vanity projects… It’s really no different from making a Nokia 5110 out of some exotic material instead of evolving its usability.

Sounds more expensive than regular window

It is. But if it was supplied by the utility company , like solar panels have been for years, to cut back on out put by the electricity company then small price would be worth it. My family member had solar power put on her house here in Texas with NO COST. She saved a bunch and it put less stress on our electrical state grid.
Why would I like regular windows if they don’t save me utility money?
UhhhOhNoo0oo0OoOoo0oo0oO0
January 22, 2023 at 5:01 pm
What about if they cost rhe same or near “normal” windows. What BS. Oh, those squirrels on the roof hate those black panels. My roof might be ugly to birds and helicopters. Notice how they are 5% compared to 20%. Who cares if they are clear? Rhetorical. For a skyscraper…..maybe. to make up the return on a commercial level. Additional to solar roof panels. I’d rather humans not waste more and give the extra money to lessen waste, rather than pretty windows. (Cars already have solar roof panels.)

5% efficiency – 5% of the whole light spectrum or 5% of the UV and IR portions?

Will the polarization of tempered glass have any effect and is the coating a post coating (a soft-coat requiring encasing). Maybe tempering is not even in the pic yet. Maybe ion generator instead

More info is needed here. Can it be applied to existing windows, what about the angle, what about curved glass, does it work in low light, and more…

It juste capture the infrareds that would be heating the inside of the building but with some energy loss
Will Cook
January 23, 2023 at 6:14 pm
Once this really kicks off, gets down on cost, and becomes easily accessible, it truly could be the biggest game changer in the renewable energy movement. Obviously converting all the currently existing windows in the world will take decades if not more, but it truly would negate the need for gas power. There are literally billions and billions of windows on earth.

So far the few family members that does have solar panels on their roof are costing more than their monthly bill because disconnected issues and hard to get knowledgeable professionals for help. They might have to find solutions YouTube to try to do it themselves.
