A piece of technology that can well be called a piece of art.
Energy produced from the sun will light up the roof of your house in the night with beautifully white LEDs, just as it will protect it from hot sun rays during the day.
Thin solar panel, sandwiched inside the glass, is like a battery getting charged by the sun.
LumiWall, just as the name suggests, a product by Sharp would be available in Japan by November this year. The product is aimed at being a decorative piece for the house rather than generating electricity.
Open priced that it is; it might come with a heavy price tag.
This is for the first time that a Lumiwall powered by solar energy has come into the market.
Providing solar energy to the customers since 1950’s Sharp has plans to make solar energy trendy just as this Lumiwall, which can even be installed in a dome in the middle of the garden, if you may.
Sharp has plans to make silicon, chief material used in solar cells panels, much thinner, so that the prices can be slashed down.
