NanoPower Windows
(nanosilicon photovoltaic solar cells)

The technological potential of adapting existing glass windows into ones capable of generating electricity from the sun’s solar energy has been made possible through a ground breaking discovery of an electrochemical and ultrasound process that produces identically sized (1 to 4 nanometers in diameter) nanoparticles of silicon that provide varying wavelengths of photoluminescence and high quantum efficiency (50% to 60%).

On the leading edge of innovation, with the potential to serve significant and unmet market needs.

When thin films of silicon nanoparticles are deposited onto silicon substrates, ultraviolet light is absorbed and converted into electrical current. With appropriate connections, the film acts as nanosilicon photovoltaic solar cells that convert solar radiation to electrical energy.

The process of producing these silicon nanoparticles is supported by 10 issued US patents, 8 pending US patents, 8 issued foreign counterpart patents and 21 pending foreign counterpart patents.

Our research and development work involves integrating films of silicon nanoparticles on glass surfaces in order to convert solar energy coming through home and office windows into electricity, without losing significant transparency or requiring major changes in manufacturing infrastructure.

Global Energy Crisis Drives Solar Alternatives
A fundamental imbalance between supply and demand defines America’s energy crisis.  If electricity consumption continues to increase as anticipated, our energy needs will far exceed expected levels of production. Read more...
