SolarWindow™ Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:NENE; SOLW - Pending),
developer of see-through electricity-generating coatings for glass,
confirmed encouraging test results from efforts to meet or exceed
warranty periods for commercial-grade window products. As a result
of favorable degradation and stability outcomes, the Company will
direct resources to accelerate important durability and
product-lifecycle testing efforts, effective immediately.

SolarWindow™ products, under development, include rapid-payback
electricity-generating windows for installation on the estimated 85
million tall towers and detached homes in the United States.
According to latest power and financial modeling, SolarWindow™
systems boast the industry’s fastest known financial return, and
could achieve payback within one year. To produce the equivalent
amount of power with conventional solar systems would require at
least 5-11 years for payback and at least 10-12 acres of valuable
urban land.
“Our SolarWindow™ products are being developed to performance
standards which give real estate developers, engineers, architects,
building designers, and future customers plenty of financial
incentive. Of course, we also want to instill the confidence that
comes with industry-duration warranties,” explained Mr. John A.
Conklin, President and CEO of SolarWindow™ Technologies, Inc.
SolarWindow™ devices have been undergoing testing of their
durability in an effort to meet or exceed warranty periods for
commercial-grade insulated glass units (IGUs) installed on tall
towers. Durability determines product-lifecycle, an important
feature to the commercial adoption of SolarWindow™ products for
generating electricity on glass windows.
Among tests conducted by researchers have been measurements to
evaluate the durability, degradation, and performance of
SolarWindow™ coatings. These liquid coatings are organic and
generate electricity while remaining see-through. Researchers
validated the electromechanical stability and performance of these
coatings.
Additional tests were conducted to include packaging; a series
of technical processes being developed by the Company for applying
special sealants to SolarWindow™ devices.
These tests measured factors related to durability, reliability,
degradation, integrity and performance of seals. These special
seals are applied along areas where moisture or weather elements
could potentially create wear and tear. Moisture can cause erosion,
an especially important factor to the lifecycle of window
products.
“I’m pleased that durability tests of SolarWindow™ coatings and
their associated sealants have generated a level of performance we
believe is essential to commercial warranty standard. Our next
important steps will address efficiency, lifetime and cost for
future product commercialization,” concluded Mr. Conklin.
About SolarWindow Technologies,
Inc.
SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. is a developer of next generation
electricity-generating SolarWindow™ coatings.
SolarWindow™ coatings generate 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; and is the subject of a patent
pending technology.
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.
The Company’s Proprietary Power Production & Financial Model
(Power & Financial Model) uses photovoltaic (PV) modeling
calculations that are consistent with renewable energy practitioner
standards for assessing, evaluating and estimating renewable energy
for a PV project. The Power & Financial Model estimator takes
into consideration building geographic location, solar radiation
for flat-plate collectors (SolarWindow™ irradiance is derated to
account for 3600 building orientation and vertical installation),
climate zone energy use and generalized skyscraper building
characteristics when estimating PV power and energy production, and
carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalents. Actual power, energy production
and CO2 equivalents modeled may vary based upon
building-to-building situational characteristics and varying
installation methodologies.
