SolarWindow Technologies Inc., the developer of electricity-generating transparent coatings for glass and flexible plastics, released a “behind the scenes” video of collaborative research and development taking place at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
The video features footage of NREL and SolarWindow scientists applying transparent electricity-generating SolarWindow™ coatings, utilizing NREL’s state-of-the-art manufacturing and testing equipment located in the Process Development and Integration Lab (PDIL). In the short presentation is SolarWindow Principal Scientist, Dr. Scott Hammond, and NREL scientist, Dr. Scott Mauger, applying electricity-generating coatings to glass; and Dr. Hammond and NREL Research Associate Talysa Stockert coating and inspecting a SolarWindow™ module in a glovebox.
SolarWindow recently announced it had entered into Phase III of its longstanding Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with NREL. See SolarWindow Phase III.

“Now that we’ve kicked off CRADA Phase III for the development of SolarWindow products, we are excited to provide a look inside NREL during a few of our fabrication processes to reveal some of our innovative development work,” said John A. Conklin, SolarWindow president and CEO.
SolarWindow™ coatings are under development for transparent glass windows for tall towers and skyscrapers.
