$1.6M for Solar Cell Windows, High-Temperature Solar Power
“Electricity-generating windows and high-temperature solar power are the aims of two new University of Michigan projects, funded with a total of $1.6 million from the Department of Energy’s Solar Energy Technologies Office.
Solar cell windows are supported with $1.3 million. Many building windows have a coating to reduce glare and unwanted heating, discarding 50 to 70 percent of the available energy. Instead of coating the windows, the researchers are developing flexible, clear solar cell sheets that would capture that energy instead…”
