The video discusses the evolution of solar panels, highlighting their increasing efficiency and affordability. It addresses the challenge of integrating solar panels in urban areas, where building sides are the primary sun-catching surfaces. A novel solution is presented: solar windows embedded with quantum dots, which absorb certain light wavelengths and convert them into electricity. These windows are not fully transparent but are comparable to standard skyscraper windows. Although not yet as efficient as traditional panels, solar windows hold promise for future urban energy solutions.
