A research team from the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in South Korea has developed transparent solar cell technology capable of directly charging a battery from a glass surface. This innovation offers numerous applications, allowing for direct energy generation from sources like smartphone screens, car windows, and building facades.
@deegeese @BrikoX If it’s light enough to be added liberally to a smartphone without turning it into a brick, it probably is light enough to add it to a car roof with no major weight added. The question is, will it actually absorb enough sunlight to fill a car battery?
False comparison. Smart phones are volume constrained, cars are weight constrained.
sure, the 6 ton object is “weight constrained”
Go read up on CAFE regulations and then tell me weight doesn’t matter.
