AI Summary

Researchers at India’s Vellore Institute of Technology have created a glazing system that pairs transparent wood (TW) with transparent solar PV (TSPV) modules. The TW is made by extracting lignin from wood and infusing the resulting porous matrix with a clear polymer, yielding a see‑through material that also reduces interior heat gain. The system consists of a TSPV panel that generates electricity while staying transparent, backed by a TW layer that blocks heat while preserving light transmission. Experimental analysis was used to evaluate the combined impact on heat gain and interior illuminance.
