Transparent Solar Cell - Alternative Energy Program

This research project has two sides; Transparency and Reflection. Consider what a Transparent Solar Cell could do from an applications perspective, besides the obvious application of stacking, thereby escalating depth efficiency versus just width efficiency of a solar farm.

The other area of research is Reflection, which increases energy production by not just using the direct sunlight, but also using the reflective by positioning an alternate set of actuators to control an alternate set of reflection cells. Think of a two-way mirror.
