Highlights Recent advancement in solution-processed thin film transparent photovoltaics (TPVs) is summarized, including perovskites, organics, and colloidal quantum dots. Pros and cons of the emerging TPVs are analyzed according to the materials characteristics and the application requirements on the aesthetics and energy generation. Promising TPV applications are discussed with emphasis on agrivoltaics, smart windows and facades.
