NREL scientists \n have been working side-by-side with SolarWindow Principal Scientist, Dr. \n Scott R. Hammond during the development of SolarWindow transparent \n electricity-generating coatings. SolarWindow is initially targeting the \n five million tall towers and commercial buildings in the United States, \n which consume almost 40% of the electrical energy generated.\n \n \n “The prospect of skyscrapers generating electricity from see-through \n window products is very exciting,” said Dr. Maikel van Hest, a Senior \n Scientist in the Thin Film and Processing Group within the National \n Center for Photovoltaics at NREL. “Through our CRADA, we have been able \n to develop and test this technology using some of the world’s most \n advanced state of the art equipment. As a result, SolarWindow and NREL \n have advanced the technology by enhancing scale, efficiency and \n reliability.”\n \n \n Under the terms of the Agreement, SolarWindow and NREL will continue to \n work jointly to enhance product performance, increase scale, and improve \n reliability; and develop new features and obtain important performance \n certifications required for a commercial rollout.\n \n \n In addition, the team will focus on various SolarWindow™ \n product-specific goals, including:\n \n \n \n Large scale window fabrication\n \n \n Interconnection development for easy ̵...
