If this was efficient enough you could use them to shade plants to keep the summer heat down while also giving them full light. Hopefully it's feasible.

Similar, non-wavelength specific translucent panels were for sale a month ago when I bought my 400W traditional panels. It's not just feasible. It's already for sale.
If this works, could you theoretically cover crop fields in solar panels as well? That's a ton of usable space
Transmits, as in let's it pass through, right? Like window tint being rated as xx% visible light transmission (VLT)?
As written in the article, letting through wavelengths other than green. So, yes.
I did read it, but I realize I was stuck with a more radio-like definition of "transmit". Thanks
lets* it pass through
