Abstract

Semi-transparent photovoltaics (STPV) is an important component in building integrated PV (BIPV), which is a rapidly growing PV sector. Thin film based transparent solar panels have strongest potential for window and skylight applications, and the main challenge is to incorporate good transparency with acceptable conversion efficiency.
