Double glazing quotes: New technology for solar panel windows

Double glazing quotes: New technology for solar panel windowsNew 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.
