Transparent Photovoltaic Glass Window by Rainbow Solar Inc. (RSI)

Rainbow Solar Inc. (RSI) has produced a transparent, photovoltaic glass window producing power 80-250 watts. Although this is not the “first solar window,” it seems that the RSI has taken a big step forward.

The potential of this product is very exciting and hopeful. In the hot-house testing, proven energy saving is greater than 50%, according to a study conducted by NTUST (National Taiwan University of Science and Technology), under the director of Professor CH Young (Ph.D.). So innovative, this study received the attention of the Discovery Channel. A super-tempered glass windows system, the PV is fully integrated multi-tier and heat insulation technology (patent pending), was called as a next-generation BIPV (building integrated photovoltaic) and “Window of the Future.”

The window can now be produced up to 9 ‘x 9′ in size and valued anywhere between 80-250 watts each, depending on the size. It will be available with various options to meet the design, climate, weather and building code requirements. They can include privacy curtains, which changed the whole window into a light panel, thus blocking out the already shaded window.

Description from the company:

“The RSi PV-Glass Window uses the sunlight, and heat from the sun, to generate electricity, reducing heat, and providing a semi-transparent window that provides privacy, while maintaining a comfortable level of visibility to the outside world. At the same time, RSi PV-Glass Windows provide a 100% reduction in Ultraviolet and Infrared radiation, adding that extra level of protection not offered by standard glass windows.”
