SolarWindow is a company that is developing electricity-generating windows for tall towers and skyscrapers based on coatings applied to glass surfaces. The company has now entered into a production agreement with Triview Glass Industries LLC which will fabricate specific electricity-generating glass products at commercial scale by integrating SolarWindow technologies into its manufacturing processes.
Currently, commercial buildings consume nearly 40 percent of all electricity generated in the US, but electricity-generating windows could reduce this electricity demand by 30 to 50 percent, providing a one-year financial payback for a 50-story building.
“I’m proud that we are the fabricator for this innovative electricity-generating glass technology by SolarWindow” said Mr. Alex Kastaniuk, President, CEO and Founder of Triview Glass Industries, LLC. “It’s especially rewarding to apply my 52 years of specialty glass experience to the fabrication of this brand-new innovation”.
SolarWindow President and CEO, Mr. John A. Conklin added that the company has long awaited the opportunity to integrate SolarWindow technologies into commercial scale production and that the agreement with Triview puts the company well on that path”.
SolarWindows electricity-generating coatings were recently processed through Triview’s rigorous autoclave system for window glass lamination. The coated glass modules were subjected to extremely high heat and pressure followed by performance testing during which the modules continued to produce electricity, thus paving the way for the eventual deployment of the windows.
