Breakthrough Solar Dye Coating Converts Glass Windows Into Solar Power Plants

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is once again on the front line of solar power research.  Researchers have recently developed a special kind of dye that, when applied to glass, converts a window into a photovoltaic solar panel by funneling light to solar cells that would be located in the window frame. The main purpose of this project is to transform skyscrapers into power plants, but researchers also claim that the dye could be applied to standard PV solar panels to improve efficiency.
