Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
And nuclear fusion power is right around the corner…
Seems this gets invented every year but never reaches consumers. Too many issues to overcome
Love it
So far the few family members that does have solar panels on their roof are costing more than their monthly bill because disconnected issues and hard to get knowledgeable professionals for help. They might have to find solutions YouTube to try to do it themselves.
Sticking Big black…. Solar panels 😅😅 uff that ws a close one..🤣🤣lol my mind though 😂
Once this really kicks off, gets down on cost, and becomes easily accessible, it truly could be the biggest game changer in the renewable energy movement. Obviously converting all the currently existing windows in the world will take decades if not more, but it truly would negate the need for gas power. There are literally billions and billions of windows on earth.
It juste capture the infrareds that would be heating the inside of the building but with some energy loss
More info is needed here. Can it be applied to existing windows, what about the angle, what about curved glass, does it work in low light, and more…
Solar panels are made in Chinese concentration camps. Look it up. But it's ok they're suffering in the Holy name of climate change
Cool! Now I'm on here to read all the spontaneous experts on solar technology! 🤔
Making money is an action.keeping money is a behaviour, but "Growing money is wisdom" I figured this out a week ago. 💰
Will the polarization of tempered glass have any effect and is the coating a post coating (a soft-coat requiring encasing). Maybe tempering is not even in the pic yet. Maybe ion generator instead
Smart window…?
If they could include an auto-tint, that'd be awesome!
Harnessing a fraction of the light spectrum is kinda useless. TBH.
ClearVue Technologies Limited also are a solar glass company
5% efficiency – 5% of the whole light spectrum or 5% of the UV and IR portions?
The problem about solar power is we do not have Sun for three weeks and then one day sun three weeks no sun
That invisible house for sale just recently could use this ……
Hopefully it'll come to market soon Been waiting for tech like this for 10 years alongside with badeless wind energy and so on
This has been around for years…not news at all …. did any further progress happen this time ?
Anything that might lower our cost for power is a good thing!
Company Was found like 10 years ago, and yet not even 1% of the country is using it. …Elon was right, patents are for cowards.
Here in the UK we would be able to benefit from this for nearly 3 or 4 days per year. 🌦️
The sauletech from Poland created inkjet-printing perovskite solar cell and based on this the Building Integrated photovoltaics already on the market in Europe.
Nice tech. How soon can we get this in UK
solar glass on the Aptera would be awesome.
Are we sure this is not another Theranos?
Awesome.
What about if they cost rhe same or near "normal" windows. What BS. Oh, those squirrels on the roof hate those black panels. My roof might be ugly to birds and helicopters. Notice how they are 5% compared to 20%. Who cares if they are clear? Rhetorical. For a skyscraper…..maybe. to make up the return on a commercial level. Additional to solar roof panels. I'd rather humans not waste more and give the extra money to lessen waste, rather than pretty windows. (Cars already have solar roof panels.)
Sounds more expensive than regular window
I think upping the efficiency of solar panels should take priority over vanity projects… It's really no different from making a Nokia 5110 out of some exotic material instead of evolving its usability.
So instead of low-efficiency see-through solar windows, how about high-efficiency house sidings that looks like regular sidings?
Reliability?
This isn’t going anywhere. Windows are at an angel that don’t really perpendicular to the sun ray. And there are obstacles like trees, awnings, etc. and 5-10% conversion? Forget about it.
Amazing!
First time I’ve heard opening a window, as being mechanised venting.
This should go on the roof of vehicles that can take better angle of solar than a squared home or building.
I still won't use it. But, hey some people will.
It would be nice if you devoted more than just a nebulous "nanometer thick coating" to the actual technology employed.
