SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. announced that the company’s latest products will be engineered as transparent, tinted, flexible veneers that installers can apply directly over top of existing windows on tall towers and skyscrapers.
This expanded product line broadens the company’s market reach beyond new and replacement installations, to include windows currently installed on the estimated five million commercial buildings constructed in the U.S. alone.
This announcement follows the unveiling of SolarWindow working prototypes for new construction and replacement windows weeks earlier. These latest retrofit systems will be developed in addition to the SolarWindow products already under commercialization.
“Our latest goal is to augment installation of SolarWindow products in the new construction market with retrofits for existing buildings,” said John A. Conklin, president and CEO of SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. “Since commercial buildings account for 35% of all electricity consumed, this market opportunity is especially significant for all of our stakeholders. We want to constantly push the boundaries with our liquid, electricity-generating coatings.”
SolarWindow achieves the industry’s fastest published financial payback of less than one year as validated by a team of independent engineers and at the University of North Carolina Charlotte Energy Production and Infrastructure Center (UNCC-EPIC).
Engineers envision installing SolarWindow products on all four sides of tall towers, generating electricity using natural, shaded and even artificial light. Conventional solar does not work in shaded areas or perform under artificial light.
