Transparent solar panels for record efficiency. In a step closer to skyscrapers that serve as power sources a team led by university of michigan researchers has set a new efficiency record for color neutral transparent solar cells. They broke the previous efficiency record and hit the all time high of 8 1 efficiency. The team achieved 8 1 efficiency and 43 3 transparency with an organic or carbon based design rather than conventional silicon. Transparent solar panels that could one day be used to generate renewable energy from buildings have reached a record breaking efficiency of 8 per cent researchers have said.

The former 2 efficiency of the photovoltaic transparent solar panel was also from the university of michigan. Rather than using silicon researchers from the university of michigan developed an organic carbon based design that hit a record breaking efficiency of 8 with a 43 3 transparency. Transparent solar panels break the efficiency record a group of scientists from the university of michigan broke the efficiency record with transparent solar panels. A team from the university of michigan said they had also achieved 43 3 per cent transparency with their organic carbon based design rather than using conventional silicon.

Researchers used an organic carbon based design of solar panels that led to this incredible breakthrough. Solar panels are mostly made of silicon.
