A research team at Osaka University in Japan has developed green light wavelength-selective organic solar cells (OSCs) that transmit blue and red light necessary for crop growth and use green light, which contributes only a little to photosynthesis, for power generation.

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
