Solar cells integrated into new construction, particularly skyscrapers, are an enticing energy option. However, this effort can be hampered by the cost and architectural considerations sometimes needed to mount traditional photovoltaic cells. Engineers at Michigan State University are working to make it easier with a lightweight, clear, and flexible solar cell that could be retrofitted onto the windows of buildings.
