Solar skyscrapers and solar phones: This new tech is transforming the energy industry kitconews gold silver metals investing mining economics finance

Any transparent surface can be made into a solar panel, said Susan Stone, CEO of Ubiquitous Energy, a California-based company doing exactly that. Ubiquitous' transparent solar panels can be installed as windows, car surfaces, or even on a smartphone as supplementary power.

Stone spoke with David Lin, Anchor and Producer at Kitco News, at the Collision 2022 Conference in Toronto.The Biden administration recently stated a goal of 50 percent of the United States's electricity to be solar powered by 2050. Stone said that this requires thinking differently about "how we deploy solar technology.""We make transparent solar," said Stone. "We harvest only the sunlight that your eyes can't see.

"You don't have to change anything that you do," she said. "Your house will look the same. These big, beautiful skyscrapers will look the same. We've just accessed a surface that was passive before, and we've turned it into a solar asset."U.S. power companies face supply-chain issues this summer, as parts and equipment are in short supply. Stone said that Ubiquitous Energy has been "lucky so far" not to be affected by limited supply.
