The photovoltaic effect is achieved by coating the flexible crystals with a special polymer. When light hits them, the electrons present in the &#8220;electric liquid&#8221; transition into the conduction band, generating an electric current. Its advantages include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-ul\">\n<li id=\"viewer-e70mo\" class=\"roLFQS ULPWlI _3Kjjs _78FBa public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-list-ltr fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-reset _1FoOD _78FBa sk96G9 roLFQS\">\n<p class=\"_1j-51 _1FoOD _78FBa sk96G9 roLFQS undefined\">Very light (the coating layer can be as thin as 0.001 mm)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"roLFQS ULPWlI _3Kjjs _78FBa public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-list-ltr fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-reset _1FoOD _78FBa sk96G9 roLFQS\">\n<p class=\"_1j-51 _1FoOD _78FBa sk96G9 roLFQS undefined\">Transparent (making it ideal for glass facades)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"roLFQS ULPWlI _3Kjjs _78FBa public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-list-ltr fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-reset _1FoOD _78FBa sk96G9 roLFQS\">\n<p class=\"_1j-51 _1FoOD _78FBa sk96G9 roLFQS undefined\">Able to take advantage of both natural and artificial light (even in shaded areas)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"roLFQS ULPWlI _3Kjjs _78FBa public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-list-ltr fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-reset _1FoOD _78FBa sk96G9 roLFQS\">\n<p class=\"_1j-51 _1FoOD _78FBa sk96G9 roLFQS undefined\">The coating can be applied to both glass and flexible plastics.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"roLFQS ULPWlI _3Kjjs _78FBa public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-list-ltr fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-reset _1FoOD _78FBa sk96G9 roLFQS\">\n<p class=\"_1j-51 _1FoOD _78FBa sk96G9 roLFQS undefined\">Environmentally friendly, as it uses organic and inorganic raw materials that do not contain toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, or selenium.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"viewer-7clpk\" class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _78FBa sk96G9 roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\">However, although they can generate electricity even if they are transparent, the more opaque they are (the more of this liquid is applied), the better the performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _78FBa sk96G9 roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\">The power production values achieved by the Solar Window company are 50W\/m\u00b2, with an efficiency of around 10%, and a cost of between \u20ac120 and \u20ac 180 per m\u00b2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _78FBa sk96G9 roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\">Thanks to their flexibility, they offer great versatility in applications, as their shape can be adapted to the design needs of the object where this technology will be used, whether in architecture, transportation, the aerospace sector, or other fields.
