World’s First Solar Window Technology

Solar technology has taken a giant leap forward with creation of the smallest known organic solar cells, measuring less than ¼ the size of a grain of rice.

This has enabled New Energy Technologies to bring the world’s first solar window closer to reality. The see-through glass could be coated with SolarWindow coatings at room temperatures using commercially available technologies.

The revolutionary solar cells, developed by the University of South Florida researcher Dr. Xiaomei Jiang, generate usable electricity from both natural and artificial light sources for homes, offices and commercial buildings.

This is a useful innovation for mankind. If windows double up as solar panels, we can significantly increase the surface area of a building for capturing solar power and help to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels.

Just imagine the profits in this industry if building authorities insist on using solar windows as part of sustainable designs.
