Abstract
Transparent Photovoltaics In article number 2000564, Shun-Wei Liu and co-workers demonstrated vacuum-deposited transparent photovoltaics with a power conversion efficiency of 1.34%, average visible transmission of 77.45%, and a color rendering index of 91.9. Such see-through solar technology not only provides a solution to convert ambient light (sunlight or indoor lights) to electricity, but also offers the realization of self-sustainable power.
