Question

3. Transparent electronics is something that has been developed here at OSU. One use they are being developed for is the creation of clear solar panels that can be used as windows. Using what you have learned from this lab about photovoltaic cells and light angles, discuss the pros and cons of using this new technology on skylights versus windows on the sides of buildings. Which one would be more efficient at energy conversion and why?

Answer 1

transparent electronics are the usual opaque semiconductor material forming the basis for electronic device fabrication is replaced with transparent material,

It is an emerging science and technology field focused on prducing invisible electronic circuitry and opto electronic device.By this we can those panel as for generating electrical energy as for renewable energy.

Pros :

1:day light can improve our health

2:while in out we can use screen as tv.

3: they produce energy from the sun.this decrease for energy bills

4:we can use those for different purposes and better anf have modern design

Cons:

1:too much light sometimes

2: moisture and leaking issue,poor insulation

heatgain . temperature increases inside our room

The new technology skylight are better energy efficient compare to side windows
