build a high-tech startup focused on mobile technology solutions
aimed at improving municipality process and procedures for code
enforcement operations, and also starting an energy incubator
program, CLT Joules, as a way to combine his passion for energy
technology and entrepreneurism. Through his leadership, the CLT
Joules program has raised significant corporate sponsorships to
fund the operations and taken in 9 energy companies as part of the
program, donating professional service work to energy innovators
and small businesses to further their development. CLT Joules was
noted by then Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers as “one of the top 3
energy developments in Charlotte” in 2012.
“I’m pleased to have Curtis as a member of our Advisory Board
team,” stated Mr. John A. Conklin, President and CEO of New Energy
Technologies, Inc. “Curtis is a proven entrepreneur and energy
professional. As we continue to develop our SolarWindow™ technology

Administration from the Virginia Commonwealth University.
Currently under development for eventual commercial deployment
in the estimated 85 million commercial buildings and homes in
America, SolarWindow™ is the world’s first-of-its-kind technology
capable of generating electricity on see-through glass windows and
flexible plastics.
About New Energy Technologies,
Inc.
New Energy Technologies, Inc., together with its wholly owned
subsidiaries, is a developer of next generation alternative and
renewable energy technologies. Among the Company’s technologies
under development are:
- MotionPower™ roadway systems for
generating electricity by capturing the kinetic energy produced by
moving vehicles – a patent-pending technology, the subject of 59 US
and International patent applications. An estimated 250 million
registered vehicles drive more than six billion miles on America’s
roadways, every day; and
- SolarWindow™ technologies, which
generates electricity on see-through glass and flexible plastics
with colored tints popular to skyscraper glass. Unlike conventional
systems, SolarWindow™ can be applied to all four sides of tall
towers, generating electricity using natural and artificial light
conditions and even shaded areas. SolarWindow™ uses organic
materials, which are dissolved into liquid, ideal for low-cost
high-output manufacturing. New Energy’s SolarWindow™ is the subject
of 42 patent applications.
Through established relationships with universities, research
institutions, and commercial partners, we strive to identify
technologies and business opportunities on the leading edge of
renewable energy innovation. Unique to our business model is the
use of established research infrastructure owned by the various
institutions we deal with, saving us significant capital which
would otherwise be required for such costs as land and building
acquisition, equipment and capital equipment purchases, and other
start-up expenses. As a result, we are able to benefit from leading
edge research while employing significantly less capital than
conventional organizations.
