AI-Driven Design Breakthrough Brings Full Color and Higher Efficiency to Solar Windows

New York, Friday, 27 February 2026.
Researchers have successfully utilized artificial intelligence to overcome the aesthetic limitations of urban solar integration, creating semitransparent windows capable of displaying a full spectrum of colors. Published on February 27, 2026, this breakthrough employs an inverse design strategy to apply non-metallic coatings to perovskite cells. The most compelling aspect of this technology is its ability to decouple aesthetics from energy loss; the specific dielectric coatings actually increase power generation by up to 20% compared to standard transparent cells. This development offers architects a practical solution for transforming skyscrapers into power-generating assets without compromising visual design.
