The EU project CITYSOLAR aims to revolutionize the market for transparent solar cells in windows.
Project partners consist of some of the world's leading researchers in the field and some of the strongest industrial players in the market, and they have set themselves the ambitious goal of making the most efficient and transparent, power-producing windows, the world has ever seen.
The project can become a real game-changer in the green transition.
Windows as small power plants
In big cities, there are lots of buildings and high-rise buildings with large facades that have sun-shielding glass that prevents overheating and reflects the glare from the sun.
The idea is that, instead of reflecting the sunlight back, it should be used to produce electricity. The windows will become small power plants and make the building's energy neutral.
The electrical power-producing windows are simply called ‘photovoltaic windows’, and
