Last Friday, London's first transparent solar-powered bus shelter opened in the Canary Wharf business district
.
The transparent solar shelter is reportedly capable of supplying a standard London home with electricity for a year and will be used to drive the power billboards and transport infrastructure
around the shelter.
London has also installed solar panels in bus shelters before, but early prototypes had a photoelectric conversion efficiency of only about
1%.
Now British solar technology company Polysolar has developed a new solar photovoltaic power generation technology with a conversion efficiency of up to 6-12%, which has been used in
the solar weather that has been put into operation.
In this technique, a thin film of solar panels is laminated into glass, using a small amount of powdered silicon to create a conductive surface
.
This creates a transparent solar panel from both sides of the glass that generates electricity
without the optimal angle.
The material costs 250 (US$350) per square meter, and Polysolar notes that its cost is similar to traditional building materials
.
Polysolar said the shelters are expected to generate 2,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, just enough to supply a typical London home for a year
.
Polysolar's goal is to implement the technology throughout London and reduce the city's
carbon footprint.
