[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: WNDW) announced today that its \n transparent electricity-generating glass has been successfully processed \n through the rigorous autoclave system for window glass lamination at a \n commercial window fabricator.\n \n\nThis Smart News Release features multimedia.

Despite the \n SolarWindow™ modules being subjected to the harsh pressure and \n temperature conditions, subsequent performance testing confirmed that \n the modules continued to produce power, paving the way for deployment of \n the company’s electricity-generating windows.\n \n \n “This is one of the most important advancements for the commercial \n manufacturing of SolarWindow™ products, and marks a huge win for all our \n stockholders, supporters, and scientists and engineers. We’ve long \n championed the prospect of electricity-generating windows powering \n skyscrapers and tall towers, which alone consume almost 40% of all the \n electricity generated in the US,” explained Mr. John A. Conklin, \n President and CEO of SolarWindow Technologies, Inc.\n \n \n When clad with electricity-generating windows, tall towers and \n skyscrapers could become clean power generators. A single SolarWindow™ \n installation on a 50-story building, for example, could reduce \n electricity costs by as much as 50% per year, avoid more than two \n million miles of equivalent carbon dioxide emitted by vehicles on the \n road, and achieve a one-year financial payback, according to \n independently-validated engineering modeling.\n \n \n “I traveled to a custom window fabrication plant on the west coast and \n personally oversaw senior production staff assemble and position our \n SolarWindow™ modules inside the autoclave, close the door, and initiate \n the pump-down cycle,” recalled Conklin.\n \n \n \"Hours later, I witnessed f...
