Universities and Corporations Collaborate: New Energy Technologies Set to Unveil Transparent Solar Window εt Dow Corning and University of Toledo Develop Thin Film

摘要

New Energy Technologies announced that its researchers have produced a functional prototype of their SolarWindow, the first-ever fully transparent window capable of generating electricity. This breakthrough was made possible by utilizing the world's smallest organic solar cells, developed by Dr. Xiaomei Jiang of the University of South Florida. Unlike conventional solar systems, New Energy's solar cells generate electricity from both natural and artificial light sources. The company claims that it will offer up to a ten-fold gain in performance today's commercial solar and thin-film technologies.
