Solar cells designed to be largely invisible to the human eye while still capable of converting light energy into electricity. These cells absorb infrared light and are made from lightweight, flexible plastic-like materials.

The mechanism by which the transparent solar cells generate electricity by capturing infrared radiation rather than visible light.

Solar energy systems designed by Hanwha SolarOne to be efficient, flexible, and reliable for consumer needs.
