The organic photovoltaic (OOG) Start-Up Next Energy Technologies, based in California, has revealed what it claims to be the world’s largest fully transparent organic PV window.
The 101.6 cm x 152.4 cm laminated transparent power-generating window was produced with the company’s pilot production line.
The window is built with a substrate, a transparent up -up layer, a edge seal, a bus bar, a connection box and cover glass.
Next energy uses automated final-DIE coating production techniques to apply its own UP directly to glass. The coatings of the company are placed on the glass and a laser is used to write the OPP layer before laminating it. “Our very refined process is a versatile deposition technique in which a solution is supplied on a substrate via a narrow gamble close to the surface,” the company explained. Glass manufacturers can add the final DIE process to their existing production options.
“This milestone is further evidence for an industry that is hungry for a solution that works our combination of OPP-Coatings and advanced production processing, can be scaled and can be used quickly,” said Daniel Emmett, co-founder, executive chairman and CEO from Next. “It is a proof that builds high confidence in our path to make 152 cm x 304 cm possible [for] Commercial production. “
Last year the company demonstrated 68 cm x 89 cm of windows that were claimed to compensate between 20% and 25% of the energy tax of a typical commercial building, “absorbing the windows and also convert infrared light, causing the heating of the building , ventilation, reduced and air conditioning (HVAC) requirements, “the company said at the time.
