SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. announced that a process breakthrough has enabled the advanced development of invisible wires as thin as human hair for improved transmission of electricity from the surface of its power-generating glass. According to the company, its early, first generation, invisible wire microgrid was already the thinnest system ever developed for its SolarWindow™ technology.
 
 “Our previous system was widely acknowledged as a technical breakthrough. However, we’ve always wanted to push the boundaries, and have now done so with wires as thin as human hair,” said John Conklin, president and CEO of SolarWindow Technologies, Inc.
 
Today’s invisible microgrid wires are thinner than an average human hair. When applied in a grid pattern, the new, virtually invisible wire system increases power and performance while improving the visual aesthetics of SolarWindow systems, currently under development.
 
The process developed for these new virtually invisible wires is solution processable, faster and can be applied using high speed roll-to-roll (R2R) or large area sheet-to-sheet (S2S) equipment, all compatible with the company’s SolarWindow module production and deployment strategy.
 
“We’re grateful for the support of the development team at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL),” said Dr. Scott Hammond, principal scientist, SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. “Specifically; our work in collaboration with Dr. Maikel van Hest, senior scientist, and Talysa Stockert, research associate, at NREL, has led to today’s technology advancement.”
