New Energy Technologies to Unveil SolarWindow at University of South Florida

New Energy Technologies, Inc. has announced that its small-scale prototype SolarWindow technology, capable of producing electrical energy by means of see-thru glass, is likely to be unveiled at the University of South Florida (USF) on the 16th of September, 2010.

Lead researcher at the USF Xiaomei Jiang will demonstrate the SolarWindow technology on see-thru glass window prototypes on the USF campus using both artificial and natural light sources.

Researchers of New Energy Technologies have developed a prototype of SolarWindow in preparation for production in full-scale. The important objectives targeted by the researchers are increased power performance, improved manufacturability and low production costs.

Electrical energy is produced on see-thru glass when SolarWindow coatings get sprayed on the surfaces utilizing commercially available technologies. The process facilitates researchers in spraying SolarWindow coatings on top of the glass surface at room temperature, avoiding expensive and tedious high-vacuum manufacturing approaches commonly utilized by solar manufacturers.
