Breakthrough glass generates energy: Car windows, mobile screens to charge batteries

Scientists have developed a breakthrough transparent solar cell module that can generate energy from glass surfaces like car windows and smartphone screens. The new technology achieves high efficiency while maintaining glass-like transparency. In tests, a 16 cm² module successfully charged a smartphone using natural sunlight. The innovation opens possibilities for using transparent solar cells in buildings, vehicles, and small devices as an eco-friendly energy source. Researchers believe this advance is crucial for commercializing transparent silicon solar cells.
