The ongoing joint development work targets the development, manufacture, and integration of Ubiquitous Energy鈥檚 ClearView Power鈩 technology into architectural window glass that has the potential to produce solar electricity for buildings. NSG鈥檚 participation includes ongoing research and development and technical support.
Ubiquitous Energy鈥檚 transparent solar coating, ClearView Power鈩, selectively absorbs and converts non-visible light (ultraviolet and infrared) to electricity while transmitting visible light. This makes ClearView Power鈩 technology the only truly transparent solar product, allowing any surface to convert ambient light into useful electricity without impacting the way it looks.
The transparent solar coating can be applied directly to architectural windows during the standard glass manufacturing process, allowing buildings to generate their own onsite renewable energy as part of the building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) market. Additionally, ClearView Power鈩 blocks infrared solar heat, improving the energy efficiency of buildings, which in combination with energy generation can lead to zero net energy buildings and beyond.
鈥淗aving worked with Ubiquitous Energy for some time now, we have been impressed with ClearView Power鈥檚 differentiation amongst BIPV products, and in particular, its proven ability to meet the aesthetic demands of mass market glazing products that are acceptable to architects, designers, and occupants,鈥 said Stephen Weidner, NSG Vice President, Sales and Marketing Architectural and Technical Glass Products. 鈥淲e have witnessed first-hand the company鈥檚 steady progress towards commercialization and we look forward to working together closely with Ubiquitous to bring this technology to the market.鈥
鈥淎s we continue to build our ecosystem of partnerships across the glass industry, we are thrilled to work with NSG to help bring ClearView Power鈩 to market as part of the more than nine billion square meters per year of annual global glass production,鈥 said Ubiquitous Energy CEO Keith Wilson.
鈥淣SG brings a wealth of unique knowledge to our development efforts as a global leader in advanced architectural window glass products. It also has experience in bringing BIPV products to market. We have hit a number of key milestones together over the past year and are excited to publicly announce this partnership.鈥
