Windows

SolarWindow's organic photovoltaic arrays (OPVs) modules are created by applying ultra-thin liquid polymer coatings to glass and flexible plastics. The modules can

A non-intrusive, external window upgrade technology to improve insulation and energy efficiency of existing buildings. The system also offers a platform to enable adoption of third party smart window technologies for existing buildings.

its efficiency is 0.5%, not enough to generate a meaningful amount of energy, but enough to trigger reactions that darken the window cutting down on the heat it allows into the building, which reduces the load of air conditioning systems.

VIG is a flat, transparent insulator that dramatically reduces window heat loss. Two panes of glass, separated by tiny spacers, are sealed around the edges. Vacuum between the panes eliminates conduction and convection heat loss. A Low E coating on one pane cuts radiation heat loss.

Project to extend the function of windows by turning them into daytime sources of electricity. The target market for this technology is tall buildings in urban areas, where electricity demand is the highest and the available space for installing solar cells is smallest. This technology utilizes a window tint that can absorb sunlight and remit light of a certain color through the window's glass to small solar cells located at the edges. This technology hasn't been commercialized previously because most tint materials typically absorb their own emitted light, limiting efficiency.

Our patented technology allows visible light to pass through a pane of glass, while the invisible wavelengths of light are deflected to the edges of the glass where they are converted into electricity.
