Eco Factor: Solar window capable of generating 250 watts of green power.
Rainbow Solar Inc. has announced a new technology that could reduce the carbon footprint of various skyscrapers built all over the world. The company has released details of its new semi-transparent solar window that can generate up to 250 watts of electricity while protecting indoors from ultraviolet and infrared radiations.
The solar windows are based on the company’s patent-pending multi-tier PV and heat insulation system that reduces the energy required to cool down the building, while generating between 80 and 250 watts of clean power. The windows can be made in various sizes to a maximum of 81 square feet, depending on the requirements and the size of the building.
The Dark Side:
If cost is not an issue, the windows can add green credentials to almost all skyscrapers being constructed all over the world, converting them into large scale renewable energy generators.
