Windows as a solar panels – great idea !!!

Rainbow Solar Inc. found a new technology that could revolutionize the buildings and skyskrapers. The company has released details of its new semi-transparent solar window that can generate up to 250 watts of electricity while protecting indoors from ultraviolet and infrared radiations and heat !!!! That’s simply amazing. Especially for a hot countries, like where I live (FYI I live at Reunion Island and we have summer now ). All those savings one could make on airconditionning

The solar windows are based on the company’s patent-pending multi-tier PV and heat insulation system that reduces the energy required to cool down the building, while generating between 80 and 250 watts of clean power. The windows can be made in various sizes to a maximum of 81 square feet, depending on the requirements and the size of the building.
