See-Through Film Turns Everything Into A Solar Panel

Most solar panels and photovoltaic surfaces are dark in color, limiting their application to things you don't need to see through. But a breakthrough technology proves that sometimes what you get is much more than what you see.

A French company recently demonstrated the amazing capabilities of their wafer-thin, flexible, (and most importantly) transparent photovoltaic film that allows light to pass through a semi-cylindrical lens onto thin strips of photovoltaic cells below, while allowing the surface underneath to show through.
