Researchers in South Korea have developed transparent solar cells that can be embedded into glass surfaces of mobile devices, cars, and buildings.

The team's 16 cm transparent solar cell module achieved high efficiency, with transmittance ranging between 20% and 14.7% .

The researchers also developed Seamless Modularization technology, which eliminates gaps between solar cells and removes the need for opaque metal wires.
