SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. announced plans to replace traditional electrical wiring connections with a simplified next-generation system for collecting the power produced by its see-through electricity-generating windows. In addition to reducing costs, ease of electrical installation will be important to window fabricators, glass installers (i.e., glaziers), electricians, and maintenance personnel.
The replacement of today’s cumbersome methods with the company’s easy power connection system (‘module interconnects’) is also important for new construction and retrofit applications of SolarWindow electricity-generating window modules on skyscrapers and tall towers.
“Low-cost scale-up and manufacturing, ease-of-installation, and warranties are at the top of our list of ongoing development efforts,” said John Conklin, president and CEO of SolarWindow Technologies, Inc.
SolarWindow products, currently under development, already boast the industry’s fastest published financial payback of less than one year. Last month, the Company’s Power Production and Financial Model was reviewed and validated by a team of third-party, independent engineers and scientists at the University of North Carolina Charlotte Energy Production and Infrastructure Center (UNCC-EPIC).
A single installation of SolarWindow products on all four sides of tall towers could generate 50 times greater power than traditional rooftop systems and 15 times their environmental benefits.
The newly-announced easy connection system would allow glaziers and electricians to collect electricity from SolarWindow modules by connecting building wires anywhere along the entire edge of the glass inside the window frame. Previously, electricity generated on SolarWindow modules was collected at individual, hard-wired points on the glass.
