editor’s pick:<\/strong> since new energy technologies submitted this idea in july, they’ve announced the expansion <\/a>of their solarwindow coating to commercial and military aircrafts. pilots may soon find the company\u2019s see-through, energy-generating technology on aircraft windows, flight suits, helmets and visors. researchers envision applying the light-weight coatings to pilot safety equipment, thus providing a source of power in the case of an emergency. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

solarwindow is an organic photovoltaic (opv) solar array composed of ultra-thin layers forming small cells. solarwindow\u2122 generates clean electricity on see-through glass windows, by making use of the energy of natural sunlight and artificial sources such as fluorescent and led lighting typically installed in offices, schools, and commercial buildings. the coating is an organic photovoltaic solar array composed of ultra-thin layers forming small cells, using mostly hydrogen-carbon based substances. when interconnected in a grid-like arrangement, an array of these opv cells increase the voltage potential and electrical current in a given area. the electricity-generating coating that produces electrical energy from natural and artificial light can be applied to the entire fa\u00e7ade of a building or applied on surfaces at low-temperatures and atmospheric pressures. it can also be used in conjunction with existing energy conservation technologies such as low e coatings. when applied to the fa\u00e7ade of an office building, solarwindow is capable of generating over 300 percent the energy savings of traditional rooftop panels. new energy technologies, inc.’s solarwindow technology utilizes an organic solar array composed of a series of ultra-small solar cells measuring less than \u00bc the size of a grain of rice each. they are fabricated using environmentally-friendly hydrogen-carbon based materials, and successfully produce electricity, as demonstrated in a published peer-reviewed study in the journal of renewable and sustainable energy of the american institute of physics.<\/p>\n
