Scientists Create Clear Coating To Invisibly Turn Windows Into Solar Panels

By David Nield – Science alert

Scientists have developed a brand new, clear coating that can be applied to any standard window to turn it into an effective solar panel – while still keeping the window largely transparent.

It’s the work of a team from Nanjing University in China, and the researchers have already developed a small working prototype. Scale that up across all the available windows in the world, and we could be talking about terawatts of green energy.
