Leading Solar Testing Agency Confirms New Energy’s Power Output for its SolarWindow™
See-thru spray-on technology turns ordinary glass surfaces into electricity-generating SolarWindows, able to outperform rooftop solar by 300%.
Out performs is the key to this con Not 300% more efficient They are taking into account that more of a roof can be covered Works in all sorts of light conditions Cheaper to make

Burtonsville, MD – November 1, 2010 – New Energy Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: NENE ) announced today that Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC), a leading American certification and testing laboratory for solar products and equipment, has validated the Company’s power production modeling calculations for its novel, SolarWindow™ technology.
SolarWindow™ is the first-of-its-kind see-thru glass window capable of generating electricity, and able to outperform conventional rooftop solar module installations by more than 300% when applied to the facades of commercial tall buildings and skyscrapers.
Engineers modeling a 40-story building, similar to Tampa’s landmark “100 North Tampa,” estimate annual cost-savings of $40,000 to $70,000 when installing New Energy’s SolarWindow™ to exposed window facades. In contrast, mounting today’s popular poly-crystalline silicon modules rack-mounted on the rooftop produces only $20,000 in energy savings per year.
“We have long anticipated that applying SolarWindow™ to exterior glass surfaces of commercial towers could generate energy savings several-fold greater than today’s rooftop solar systems,” explained Mr. John A. Conklin, President and CEO of New Energy Technologies, Inc. “It’s wonderful to have these power modeling calculations now validated by FSEC, a highly-respected independent solar testing agency.
