"Researchers at Michigan State University have created a fully transparent solar concentrator, which could turn any window or sheet of glass (like your smartphones screen) into a photovoltaic solar cell. Unlike other transparent solar cells that weve reported on in the past, this one really is transparent, as you can see in the photos throughout this story. According to Richard Lunt, who led the research, the team are confident that the transparent solar panels can be efficiently deployed in a wide range of settings, from tall buildings with lots of windows or any kind of mobile device that demands high aesthetic quality like a phone or e-reader. http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/...d-make-every-window-and-screen-a-power-source Imagine your house becoming it's own power source.
