Background
❧
● Energy Resources is the most concerning issue of Pakistan.
● Pakistan is reliable on non renewable resources which are running
out of stock.
● Another major source of energy is HEP but Pakistan is estimated to
run out of water by 2030 according to surveys by WHO.
Product Proposed
❧
● Transparent Solar Panel: Panels will be installed as
window panes.
● It transforms the solar energy into electric power. LEDs are
used in the panels and can generate electricity by absorbing
light.
● The electricity produced through these plates can light up
street lights, malls etc.
● Our goal is to create awareness about recent conditions of
Pakistan and provide them with an alternate solution to
coope up with expected energy crisis.
● We want to work on the concept of smart buildings and
smart roads.
Why is it needed?
❧
● A limiting issue with most renewable energy sources is their dependence
on unpredictable resources such as wind. In other cases, such as tidal or
geothermal, the resource may be too far from the demand for practical
use.
● The transportation sector consumes about one third of the national
energy production, and is responsible for more than one third of the
pollution.
● Excessive consumption of natural resources is resulting in their depletion
which in turn is resulting in high energy production costs.
Contd.
❧
● Two unique advantages of using transparent solar panels over other
materials and sources of energy are
1. By using this technology, we can harvest the excess energy without
allocating a specific area for this purpose.
2. Using transparent solar panel as window panes will not only produce
electricity but will also help reduce the hazardous penetration of UV light
rays.[1]
Working of Proposed System
❧
● Transparent solar panels work exactly like conventional solar
panels.
● Energy from sunlight will be absorbed in from of photons
through photovoltaic cells.
● The photons are used by LEDS inventors to convert it into
electricity.
● The energy being used is directly transferred to the appliances
while the excess is stored in batteries to compensate the
production gap on other times.
● The efficiency of a fully transparent panels and partially
transparent panels is 5% and 7.2% respectively when compared
with 12% of conventional solar panel. [1]

Working of Parts
1. Photovoltaic Cells
● Cells to convert solar energy into electrical energy.
2. Filter
● Capacitor to remove AC components from DC voltage.
3. Inverter
● To generate pure AC voltage.
4. Load
● Equipments which will work due to electrical energy
produced by the plates.

Price and Availability
1. Estimated price of the product from wholesale
providers is 250 Euros/ 38151 PKR per meter
square.
2. Providers:
● Brite (Brite Solar )
● Amerisolar (Amerisolar) [2]
Launch of the Product
❧
● Khawani’s technical staff is currently working on
installation of panels as windows.
● Work is being done on installing external plating
to panels.
● Soon it will be launched in Pakistan with the help
of BRITE and AMERISOLAR .
● Once an agreement is reached, a date for a
Launch Ceremony of the product with be finalized
and contact with advertising agencies will be
made.
Benefits
❧
● Emits no pollutants.
● Generates no hazardous waste because most of the
materials used can be recycled or repurposed.
● Strong Adaptability.
● Helps keep the environment clean by absorption of UV
Rays.
● Can store or harvest energy at any time.
● Great potential due to climate condition.
● Extremely Efficient.
● Very Durable.
