Transparent Solar Building

Solar panel pretty much come in one color Dark that's because they use dark sheets of SIlicon crystals to absorb light of sun rays then convert into electrical energy. Nowadays solar panels are so cheap and so efficient that we can run the whole city with a solar panel. Mostly all the sun catching area in cities are insides of the building. Which is designed to let line in we can use dark solar panels but that is quite awkward and reflection can create some problems

In this project you are going a make a transparent window solar panel in which there are tiny silicon particle in the form of quantum dots. Which passing the sunrays ir will bounce back following the principle of total internal reflection. Those quantum dots only absorb shorter wavelength. You might wonder then where is the solar panel. Solar panels are on the edge of the window which will absorb light by TOI.

Project Description:

Transparent glass: It's not only glass but its also has tiny silicon particles in the form of quantum dots. Which absorbs uv and shorter wavelength rays and those rays are guided at the edge of the glass.
Solar strip: its basically the arrangement of the solar cells in the form of strip. A photovoltaic (PV) module is a packaged, connected assembly of typically 6x10 photovoltaic solar cells. Photovoltaic modules constitute the photovoltaic array of a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies solar electricity in commercial and residential applications
Rechargeable battery: A rechargeable battery, storage battery, secondary cell, or accumulator is a type of electrical battery which can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use. It is composed of one or more electrochemical cells.
