New technology launched in the US shows potential for solar technology to be included as part of double glazing quotes.Groundbreaking energy-saving technology has been demonstrated in the US, showing the potential for future double glazing quotes.New Energy Technologies Inc has created SolarWindow, which transforms surfaces into electricity-generating solar panels. The see-through material can be applied to regular double glazing to improve a home's energy performance.John Conklin, company president and CEO, told attendees of the University of South Florida presentation that SolarWindow would outperform traditional rooftop solar panels when applied to exterior glass.He said: "The successful public demonstration of SolarWindow boldly underscores our confidence in the technology, and marks a significant achievement for everyone who has supported us as we’ve worked towards this milestone."The Independent has reported that the development of a new organic photovoltaic (PV) technology in Cambridge University could provide homeowners with the opportunity to generate alternative electricity by applying it to windows.Last week, an eco-house based in Chester was opened to demonstrate the benefits of double glazing quotes, which organisers Sustainable Blacon suggest could save you £40 per year in heating bills, the Chester Chronicle reported.Posted by Helen Sykes
