New invisible solar panel windows
Glass windows which are also solar panels. Clear View Technologies.
A report on Nine News – The window panes harness sunlight and turn it into power.
This is an Australian invention and a world first. It looks like a standard widow but act as solar panel and will be on sale by the end of 2024. They harness the energy from the sun using windows constructed with an interlayer made of a proprietary formulation of nano and micro particles but the panes are clear with no distortion.
New technology like this is exciting and we hope to utilise it as soon as it is available to the general consumer. As with most new inventions cost will be a factor until they become more commonly manufactured and used, at present they are estimated to add around $250 per square metre and should pay for themselves within 5 – 15 years depending on use and location of installation.
