SOLAR WINDOW
SolarWindow™ coatings are sprayed on to any see-through glass to turn them into solar panels.
SolarWindow™ coatings are sprayed on to see-through glass to make use of the world’s smallest functional organic solar cells, which measure less than ¼ the size of a grain of rice, and have been shown to successfully produce electricity. It does not require expensive high-temperature or high-vacuum production methods, but rather can be sprayed on to glass at room temperature. Once applied to windows, it generates electricity from both natural and artificial light sources, outperforming today’s commercial solar and thin-film technologies by as much as 10-fold. SolarWindow™ technology — capable of generating electricity on see-through glass windows — is under development for potential application in the estimated 5 million commercial buildings in America (Energy Information Administration) and more than 80 million single detached homes.
