Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #46801 Transparent Solar Cells
Instructions
No  matter  how  sustainable,  eco-friendly,  and  clean  sources  of  energy  they  are,  conventional  solar  panels  require  a  large  setup  area  and  heavy  initial  investment.  Due  to  these  ,  it's  hard  to  introduce  them  in  urban  areas  especially  neighborhoods  with  lots  of  apartment  blocks  or  shops.  But  now  researchers  have  created  transparent  solar  panels  which  they  claim    used  as  power-generating  windows  in  our  homes.  In  order  to  generate  power  from  sunlight,  solar  cells    on  a  solar  panel  are  required  to  absorb  radiation  from  the  sun.  Therefore,  they  cannot  allow  sunlight  to  completely  pass  through  them.  Transparent  luminescent  solar  concentrators  are  capable  of  selectively  absorbing  invisible  solar  radiation  including  infrared  and  UV  lights,  and  letting  the  rest  of  the  visible  rays  pass  through  them.  In  other  words,  these  devices  are  transparent  to  the  human  eye  but  still  absorb  a    of  the  solar  light  which  they  can  then  convert  into  electricity.
