Beyond a Building Material - Clear Glass Solar Windows Provide a Renewable Source of Energy
One of the most common ways to harness solar energy is to install photovoltaic (PV) panels on residential or commercial building rooftops, or solar farms which can supply power on a larger scale. However, with limited land especially in dense urban cities, an alternative approach is to turn vertical building facades into solar producing panels, also known as building-integrated photovoltaics...
