Turns the window glass into a solar cell

For the first time in the world, experts from New Energy Technologies have created a single layer of glass, coated with a transparent layer of electricity, which offers great potential for practical application.

A unique organic coating with the ability to generate electricity is essentially a mixture of hydrogen and carbon, which can be coated on any glass. Thanks to them can adjust the transparency and color of the window glass to suit the wishes of customers and technical requirements of architects design the buildings.

Electric glass material will open a new future for the solar industry.

Other than the photovoltaic device, new coating does not need to have the plate p Anel sun (solar panel) to heat or increased pressure, which just spray a simple way at room temperature, so the price is very Lower down the need to equip power windows for tall buildings or greenhouses.

According to calculations, in the United States, the potential market for this 'electroglass' material will be 85 million homes and public housing.

In a laboratory study, scientists coated a new, lightweight and elastic coating with the very popular plastic polietilenterephthalate (PET) on glass and randomly detected a ' Just the addition of other essential components (not yet published) will find broad application in the use of solar energy.

When assembling buildings, window panes will produce enough electricity to supply light sources and small electric motors. However, this "glass" does not only obtain energy from sunlight, but also convert artificial light into electricity.
