Solar Glass Window

Here’s some exciting news in the evolution of solar-power: a new material utilizes innovative technology that allows transparent glass windows to produce electricity from the power of the sun. Made of very thin semi-transparent coatings that can be used to create large area monolithic solar cell structures that you can see through. This transparency makes solar glass window glazing desirable for placing over glass, plastics, and other see-through structures.

Solar glass window will operate at the efficiency of conventional solar cells but with only a quarter of the cost. From a design perspective solar glass window is certainly a lot less obtrusive than those bulky free-standing solar panels which need to be installed on roofs – and could allow designers more aesthetic freedom in which to create energy efficient buildings.

Advantages of the Solar Glass Window:

  • Creates eletricity from the sunlight
  • Reduces external noise in 30db
  • Reflects UV rays
  • Impact resistant
