Transparent Photovoltaic (TPV)

Solar cells designed to remain transparent while absorbing specific wavelengths of light, particularly ultraviolet and infrared radiation. These cells enable windows and glass surfaces to generate electricity without visible tinting.

Halide Perovskites

A new class of opaque solar cell materials that can be tuned to absorb specific frequencies of light by adjusting their chemical composition. They are less expensive than traditional crystalline silicon and offer greater flexibility in light absorption properties.

Organic Photovoltaics

Solar cells based on organic materials that achieved 5% efficiency in the research, representing an alternative approach to traditional inorganic photovoltaic technologies.
