Hopefully this new technique will be available commercially soon. However anything on the lab table will normally take a few years before it become commercial products. While waiting for that, one may consider DIY Solar Panel at home; to kick off his home solar energy system at a lower cost. Consider reading up some good DIY guide on the market.

The reality is that solar power that is commercially available still isn’t in the reach of the masses. Unless of course, you know how to make panels from scratch, and even from broken cells for example.

Interesting, so this is some kind add-on. can this be added onto normal solar panels that are currently available on the market?

I’ve been idly following solar power ‘developments’ and ‘breakthrough’ stories for a few years now, but like virtually all the other headlines & stories it’s “might this” and “could that” and “hope to” – no tangeable physical results of cheaper or higher wattage solar panels.

Wake me up when shop-bought solar panels really are less than $1/watt!

Lol, all you would need to do is add a layer of liquid crystal and Voila!, privacy glass

Yeah, if you could control how much light was absorbed, you’d have self-powered auto-dimming windows! lol
