Transparent solar windows could be future

Window with the word we can associate two things: a small rectangular area with which the user of the computer can interact using the stylus or keyboard, or the classic window that allows light to enter our home and we used to look outside and by which people are on the street can look inward. This time, we speak of the latter type of windows, and a group of researchers at UCLA have developed a new type of solar cell almost transparent and efficient large scale.
This type of solar cell absorbs light not completely, because if it did virtually no sunlight to enter our home and have to live with the lights on all day. Thanks to technology , the new cell that absorbs near-infrared sunlight and has an ERA of 4%, which may seem low, but speaking to large scale and with the improvements to be implemented, will undoubtedly be an invention great for be used in medium and large buildings.
