tion The History of

Tomorrow

In the future we hope people can choose the grade of opacity in their solar panel windows.

We are able to create transparent or semi-transparent solar panels, which can be inserted into windows.

The windows filtrate certain colors which generate energy. Currently they can only filtrate one or two colors and not all of them

The transparent windows are still too expensive to produce in large scale.

We will be able to filtrate more colors and by that make the panels cheeper.

We hope transparent solar panels will be used everywhere; in offices, homes, shopping centers, cars, greenhouses…

TOMORROWTODAY

Infiltration of Light

Certain colors filtrate at different capacities in the panels layers.

Semi-Transparent -mask light acts as shadows

Non transparent – takes up large areas, but can be mass produced

Transparent - less space needed
