Clear Solar Panels Double As Projection Screens

EnergyEfficient writes "Metropolis Magazine has an article about a company that is producing transparent solar panels. The panels 'can generate 3.8 watts of electricity per square foot, an above-average level of efficiency.' They come in a thick version that can be used for glazing buildings. Imagine if all those glass skyscrapers could also produce power! As an interesting aside, they can also be used as screens for projection TV units."

  1. Rick James, Dead At 56 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I just read the news in the Springfield Shopper- legendary funkster and superfreak Rick James was found dead in his L.A. apartment at the age of 56. Even if you have a below average libido and didn't like his music there's no denying his contribution to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
