Windows. No longer just for staring out. No longer for opening to let the fresh air in or closing to keep the elements out.

Windows are being develop and installed that can generate solar electricity. 

How? A series of coatings are applied to create the organic photovoltaic layer, while at the same time laser scribing processes create a series of fine, microns-wide channels, which enable the solar cells to generate power.

Imagine how windows generating solar power would shape cities of the future and reduce reliance on traditional electricity generation methods.

A new window installation doesn’t just keep the elements out and transmit light and heat—it generates power too.
