ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method is provided which allows transfer of DC electrical power across a transparent or semitransparent medium such as glass. Electrical power transfer is achieved using a suitable optical source (matched visible light or infrared LED or LD arrays are best suited) that illuminates a matched solar cell array on the other side of the medium.
