Did you ever think about producing energy from the window of your home to meet up with the energy needs? An Israeli company named Pythagoras Solar invented the World’s first transparent Photovoltaic glass unit (PVGU) which will produce energy from sunlight directly. Pythagoras Solar beat out nearly 5000 entrants to win this year’s $100,000 GE Ecomagination Challenge, which recognizes the most promising green energy building innovations, for its unique solar window. According to the CEO of Pythagoras Solar, the window will produce benefits such as power generation and reducing the building energy needs, while allowing light in. The technology is its optical design uses direct light to generate energy, while optimising daylight inside the building. Photovoltaic Glass Units (PVGUs), are compatible with standard glazing systems, combine energy efficiency, high density solar power generation and transparency. PVGUs employ a prism system that steers most of the so-called direct ...
