How can we sustainably harvest more energy and move it to where it is needed? The United States’ annual energy consumption requires about one-quarter of 1% of the 174 petawatts the sun sends to Earth daily. The prospect of new solar generation capacity created by placing transparent solar cells in windows and other surfaces will transform how we think about […]

They have become fixtures in homes, businesses, and large-scale solar farms. But in the future, solar technology could generate energy on almost any surface or window. Aaron Bates, founder and […]
