The more different systems we have to gain renewables energy the more stable a renewables energy grid will be. This is a fantastic idea with seemingly massive potential; great stuff.
Its will never be stable. Solar and wind are collecting energy just 30% of its time. Its innaficient. Nuclear is way better. Plus solar is unrecyclable.
Thanks for addressing potential arguments; they make your argument even stronger! Additionally, I love this channel's content in general and the emphasis on statistics to maximize significance. Glad I subscribed!
Ubiquitous is a great name for the company and a great descriptor of solar in general. Of all the energy sources available, solar has the greatest potential to become ubiquitous, or close to it. From transparent panels in place of windows in buildings and vehicles, to roof-top panels and solar roof tiles, to agrivoltaic systems, solar can be blended nicely with structures and processes already in use, maximizing land use, using otherwise wasted building space, providing added cooling for crops, buildings and vehicles. Not to mention the relative ease with which solar can be deployed; especially important in developing nations where electric infrastructure is poor or non-existent in some areas..

My thinking, regarding my previous comment, is that if salt is used in the making of solar cells that maybe they could use the brine left over from desalination factories so that we can help reduce the waste products left over from them. I have no idea if that is feasible, but thought that it may be something to look into so that we are not only able to make more solar cell windows but also help reduce an unrelated problem such as brine waste.

Welp lil dude, when you have ideas like that I guess it's time to explore and research ways on how they would work, if you do that you will probably have a solid project in the future, that's gonna help you a lot.
There is only so much solar energy per sq. meter at any given Latitude. So far the efficiency of most affordable solar PV is around 20 %. That % is getting better but slowly. But there are huge areas of the earth's land surface that are unusable and pretty much barren. Example: lets say a solar PV "farm" of 200 sq. miles , that is 10 x 20 miles, were installed in north Nevada, USA. And lets assume that 1/2 of that area is solar panels or 100 sq. miles. A facility like that would be a tiny fraction of the land area there and no one would even see it. Such a solar plant could generate enough power to supply a large portion of the West coast of the USA. Several of these scattered across the country would provide over 50 % of our energy needs.
We could cover a small section of the Sahara Desert, and make enough energy to provide the whole world with an abundance. But, it would cost alot, they would have to be self cleaning, and it would require global effort
the video said if every window in the US were converted, it would provide 40%. Of course that's assuming none of them are shaded, nobody builds a bigger building right in front of you, you keep them relatively clean, cloudy days cease to exist. So many reasons why this isn't financially feasible and just can't provide any significant portion of the worlds power needs.
I would love having this technology installed in my house. I think it's essential to think of alternatives for the installation of solar panels that do not require the felling of trees, because this ends up going against the very principle of sustainability.
well I can tell you that laminate glass gets better acoustic (sound insulation) performance than normal float glass of the same thickness so that plastic-y layer might be a winner. It seems like most architectural projects use double glazing these days though for thermal reasons. like the 12mm or so gap between panes helps for thermal insulation (causes so resonance so not ideal for acoustics) but they usually specify one pane with some kind of coating to reduce glare or thermal gain. Basically - yeah I think they’ll buy it. It would be an extra bonus if the façade was compatible with a wooden structure because concrete is also a big problem in terms of carbon so architects are experimenting with materials to find more “green” building materials
right now im looking to buy some for my home...it totally makes sense. THIS WILL BE THE FUTURE...we NEED energy and we need windows and we need to see through windows and why buy a window when it only does one thing...let light in...when you can buy a window that does 2 things...let light in and power your home...which makes more sense....buying the window that does both...not just one thing. turn it around.....HEY you wanna buy a window that lets light in....or HEY you wanna buy a window that lets light in AND powers your home?
this can be used to build the base on mars and moon as it would remove some of radiation from the light as mars doesn't have an Ozone layer protecting it while producing electricity i am sure this technology will be effective in 10 years time when they starting building a base.
The solar panels also has to have the lifespan similar or greater than it's building, otherwise swapping it out every dacade would be a pain, and not to mention, expensive.
The clip you showed early on was NOT PV, but rather Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), which uses mirrors (heliostats) to heat a vessel full of oil and that is used to create steam. No electrons being generated with CSP.
i got lots of solar to charge my cyber truck.i love spacex..we visited this site last Oct. 2020.. I've ordered the tri motor cybertruck fsd and i can't wait. i may buy they y or s in the meantime?
Yes .. It's the reason I change my mind about blue and white Vision.. I have to apologize to some friend of mine international of fighting for your colors culture.. Even my father's they was absolutely right..
Transparent solar panels would be AMAZING for desert/tropical homes because you could have clear windows for the majority of your exterior walls and upper ceilings, and avoid sunburn if it absorbs more UV and blue spectrum.
2:52 "It's transparent luminescent solar concentrator takes the form of a spectrally selective polyvinyl butyral interlayer . . ." Hey, hey, hey, women and children are watching this video. Let's keep it clean.
As long as the visible light isn't utilised, it'll never have better efficiency than a conventional solar panel. A centralised conventional solar farm will always be more economical.
I don't think so, as the earth is shrinking in usable free space for the solar farms, skyscrapers already have an utility, so why not combine the two and make it a skyscraper that acts as a solar farm?
Why not?...Every little bit helps. While no one technology will be enough to completely replace fossil electricity, it all adds up. This, combined with all the other technologies in renewable energy, gets us one step closer.
Much less expensive, much easier, and much more efficient to put solar panels on your roof. But in the city, and especially in new buildings, this could make a big difference.
We need to figure out a way to stack these on top of each other with minimal loss of efficiency so we could save space. Basically I imagine stacks of thousands taking up a few square meters. Will be much cheaper than retrofitting the world's buildings.
Since they divert the spectrum of light that they use to the edges, very little would be passed on to the next in the stack. There are some solar panels that are stacked, but each converts a different spectrum of light and they don't need to pass along any visible light.
@@justlisten82 Not really. The whole point of diverting to the edges is to capture it and convert it to electricity. A better option would be to try to increase how efficient they are to be more than 10%. But this is also true of all solar panels.
The only major issue with Solar panels is the large amount of space it takes to install one especially in housing units. Thats the area, researchers need to deal with along with the efficiency ofcourse.
Nope. The first layer already extracts what can be extracted, leaving nothing for the one underneath. But a transparent solar pannel on top of a regular one? Maybe.
I am using 100% of electricity in my life, cooking, computer, phone, and I use E-bike, so everything by electricity since I was born. I have no any tool use oil/gas. lol

Graphene interlayer all glass building are the future - roof walls and floors footings : everything. Solar smelted & recycled. Fireproof, hail impact proof, performing PV computing display climate control lighting all from the glass.
All skyscrapers should be fitted with these windows plus reskinned with solar facades... These buildings could easily go from being power hogs to net power generators!
No one system is the solution, and reminds me of a saying, which is how we should look at renewable energy sources. "Many little raindrops make a big puddle."
10% divided by the losses from the fact that the panel is not facing up but sideways, so probably more like 5%, or in other words you're paying for four times as much of a more cutting edge and expensive product to achieve the same result as ordinary panels.
There is no reason to expect that this technology will ever be feasible. Transparent solar panels, clear enough to serve as windows, would be letting most of the light that they might otherwise convert to electricity, just pass through them uncaptured. There is a very good reason why conventional solar panels are opaque, and very dark-colored; and why any practical solar panels will always be so.
I agree. Poor sun angle, dont work at night or under clouds. 60% of the building is in shade all the time. Big money for suppliers, 25% efficiency max. I dont think it would provide much power for a huge building as compared initial cost vs public utilities with large spans of solar adjusting shared infrastructure and power generation. .
Actually, Heat shields and Solar panels will be invisible!, Solar panels should be noticed but (Heat shields) should be a Magnetically charged field of power surrounding the Hull of the exterior of the ship as a protective blanket to protect everything behind or underneath it to protect the exposed areas!,.✨
What's the cost of these see through solar panels as well as the abilty to mass produce them? How long do they last before becoming less and less efficient? What is there structural strength compared to normal glass?
Good questions. Poor sun angle, dont work at night or under clouds. 60% of the building is in shade all the time. Big money for suppliers, 25% efficiency max. I dont think it would provide much power for a huge building as compared initial cost vs public utilities with large spans of solar adjusting shared infrastructure and power generation. .

The solar panels also has to have the lifespan similar or greater than it's building, otherwise swapping it out every dacade would be a pain, and not to mention, expensive.
Wait, did he change the channel name or am I trippin?
great
thanks for sharing
The clip you showed early on was NOT PV, but rather Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), which uses mirrors (heliostats) to heat a vessel full of oil and that is used to create steam. No electrons being generated with CSP.
TECH VISION? is that you there??
i got lots of solar to charge my cyber truck.i love spacex..we visited this site last Oct. 2020.. I've ordered the tri motor cybertruck fsd and i can't wait. i may buy they y or s in the meantime?
I can’t imagine a solar panel that lets light pass through it will be very effective
Transparent solar cells only harvest the infrared or Ultraviolet potion of solar spectrum.
@@jerryli5555 Both, right?
This is amazing, the future sounds amazing
🙄
Yes I love the idea of using transparent solar for windows instead of conventional solar panels.
I Love
2:48 CPV stock thats on the ASX i bought some
Definitely 'visionary' :)
Fantastic video, from Spain
Make a transplant solar sticker and stick the existing glass then it will be cheaper and easy to install. Thanks.
Yeah, ofcourse, just make it. Thanks for this genius idea.
Love this! will keep it in my back pocket for my future building project
Yes .. It's the reason I change my mind about blue and white Vision.. I have to apologize to some friend of mine international of fighting for your colors culture.. Even my father's they was absolutely right..
When the tech becomes mature and cost effective, I'd seriously consider it.
Transparent solar panels would be AMAZING for desert/tropical homes because you could have clear windows for the majority of your exterior walls and upper ceilings, and avoid sunburn if it absorbs more UV and blue spectrum.
I like the solar blinds concept. It can be retrofitted easily
2:52 "It's transparent luminescent solar concentrator takes the form of a spectrally selective polyvinyl butyral interlayer . . ." Hey, hey, hey, women and children are watching this video. Let's keep it clean.
As long as the visible light isn't utilised, it'll never have better efficiency than a conventional solar panel. A centralised conventional solar farm will always be more economical.
I don't think so, as the earth is shrinking in usable free space for the solar farms, skyscrapers already have an utility, so why not combine the two and make it a skyscraper that acts as a solar farm?
I mean at this moment yes, but wait another 30 years and it will have to change
@@EmielWauters Look up data on Earth's surface utilisation. The built-in percentage is irrelevant compared to agricultural or not-utilised land.
The potential for growth is pretty clear.
Why not?...Every little bit helps. While no one technology will be enough to completely replace fossil electricity, it all adds up. This, combined with all the other technologies in renewable energy, gets us one step closer.
Transparent solar will give evenly a good look to buildings and same time produce power
incredible tech, will definitely replace my windows at home if the tech is matured enough
Much less expensive, much easier, and much more efficient to put solar panels on your roof. But in the city, and especially in new buildings, this could make a big difference.
@@terrysullivan1992 perfect for apartment windows for those that do not have a roof
This is what im waiting for, but the problem is price.
Cost, wiring and durability will be important factors
We need to figure out a way to stack these on top of each other with minimal loss of efficiency so we could save space. Basically I imagine stacks of thousands taking up a few square meters. Will be much cheaper than retrofitting the world's buildings.
Since they divert the spectrum of light that they use to the edges, very little would be passed on to the next in the stack. There are some solar panels that are stacked, but each converts a different spectrum of light and they don't need to pass along any visible light.
@@rgbii2 could it be redesigned maybe so it does not divert the light to the edges so we can stack them?
@@justlisten82 Not really. The whole point of diverting to the edges is to capture it and convert it to electricity. A better option would be to try to increase how efficient they are to be more than 10%. But this is also true of all solar panels.
Filipino made solar window transparent. The student in MACUA
The only major issue with Solar panels is the large amount of space it takes to install one especially in housing units. Thats the area, researchers need to deal with along with the efficiency ofcourse.
Sir, please make video on , how big is Tata group.
How big is samsung,sony, etc please 🥺😭😭😭
Thank you for the video. Yes transparent solar is coming soon
Stacking many transparent solar panels until we extract all the solar energy from the light making it completely opaque.
Nope. The first layer already extracts what can be extracted, leaving nothing for the one underneath. But a transparent solar pannel on top of a regular one? Maybe.
Bro my phone is never gonna run atta battery 🔋 cuz I'm always outside XD
Nice Video !!
Since it's transparent,
Stacks & Layers will produces a Multiplier amount of electricity per area?
Amazing Science.
SolarGaps approach is the easiest to be implemented for home users.
Give us time to breath I can't breath listening to your voice
I am using 100% of electricity in my life, cooking, computer, phone, and I use E-bike, so everything by electricity since I was born. I have no any tool use oil/gas. lol
Depends where you live as the electricity what you to charge your E-bike might come from coal plant or such.
You are one of the very few
@@aidandesiena932 Because I really hate the smell of oil, also, I am lazy to go gas station to talk, and pay, put plugs 🔌 at home is much easier for me.
Been waiting for this! Absolutely I get it, on everything, even my sunglasses, what’s taking so long?
Yes, it's really a demand of nature, U can use it every where,,,, For trial,,, I am in for using it for my car, windows, mobile,,,,,
That and the self cleaning windows ie. windows with a special coating is something I have been waiting on for a while now. Hopefully it happens.
Graphene interlayer all glass building are the future - roof walls and floors footings : everything. Solar smelted & recycled. Fireproof, hail impact proof, performing PV computing display climate control lighting all from the glass.
3:50 firstly talking about a strawberry farm, then showed us a picture of raspberry.
All skyscrapers should be fitted with these windows plus reskinned with solar facades... These buildings could easily go from being power hogs to net power generators!
ok, the self charging phone sounds really cool
i am waiting for this technology to change all my home windows
Metamaterial inc is the leader in this tech
I'm aware that Samsung has already been making prototypes for Transparent Smartphones which it can benefit greatly with Transparent Solar Cells.
I was so confused
Kept asking myself when did I subscribe to VISION
Then I heard the narrator’s voice 😂
Same
same bro ;p
really incredible contents thank you very much ! :)
No one system is the solution, and reminds me of a saying, which is how we should look at renewable energy sources.
"Many little raindrops make a big puddle."
I'm looking through you!
10% divided by the losses from the fact that the panel is not facing up but sideways, so probably more like 5%, or in other words you're paying for four times as much of a more cutting edge and expensive product to achieve the same result as ordinary panels.
There is no reason to expect that this technology will ever be feasible. Transparent solar panels, clear enough to serve as windows, would be letting most of the light that they might otherwise convert to electricity, just pass through them uncaptured. There is a very good reason why conventional solar panels are opaque, and very dark-colored; and why any practical solar panels will always be so.
I agree. Poor sun angle, dont work at night or under clouds. 60% of the building is in shade all the time. Big money for suppliers, 25% efficiency max. I dont think it would provide much power for a huge building as compared initial cost vs public utilities with large spans of solar adjusting shared infrastructure and power generation. .
What the awesome green energy invention
Actually, Heat shields and Solar panels will be invisible!, Solar panels should be noticed but (Heat shields) should be a Magnetically charged field of power surrounding the Hull of the exterior of the ship as a protective blanket to protect everything behind or underneath it to protect the exposed areas!,.✨
There voice kinda sounds like Vision from Marvel, and there TH-cam name is Vision. This video is very informative, it’s actually very nice editing.
0:08 hahaha VERY FUNNY
There’s nothing more exciting 🥰
What's the cost of these see through solar panels as well as the abilty to mass produce them?
How long do they last before becoming less and less efficient?
What is there structural strength compared to normal glass?
Good questions. Poor sun angle, dont work at night or under clouds. 60% of the building is in shade all the time. Big money for suppliers, 25% efficiency max. I dont think it would provide much power for a huge building as compared initial cost vs public utilities with large spans of solar adjusting shared infrastructure and power generation. .
If it is cost effective. I would give it a shot.
Imagine all cars, yachts, cellphones, buildings and houses are generated by transparent solar panels. And that's what you call "What a wonderful world?"
I've wondered for years why we don't use windows for PV. So happy to see it done and growing
Was waiting for this was wondering when it come into the world
How much does it cost per Watt, compared to 'regular', opaque solar-panels? Cost is a huge consideration.
