Building‐integrated photovoltaics employing transparent photovoltaic cells on window panes provide an opportunity to convert solar energy to electricity rather than generating waste heat. Semitransparent organic photovoltaic cells (ST‐OPVs) that utilize a nonfullerene acceptor‐based near‐infrared (N...
