The SQPV is a translucent solar panel designed to take advantage of the entire light spectrum, including UV and infrared rays, improving energy efficiency even in low light conditions. It is made with sustainable, recyclable and biodegradable materials, and can replace glass in windows, reducing. . InQs, a leading player in the renewable energy industry, has unveiled an innovative solar panel technology that could revolutionize how we harness solar power.

Michigan State University (MSU) introduced the first fully clear solar panels in 2014, often called invisible solar panels or photovoltaic glass. These panels capture energy from ultraviolet and infrared light while still allowing visible light to pass through, making them look like ordinary glass. . Japanese consortium NSG is going to test windows with integrated solar cells in the building of Tokyo's Takanawa Gateway railway station. The windows have transparent photovoltaic coating that transmits visible sunlight and absorbs infrared and ultraviolet rays, converting them into electricity.
