I have put these into this blog - despite that it is not DIRECTLY construction related, I think it is important to research and look into all new building technology. Particularly when these new developments incorporate the 5-star energy rating and more.
Solar company HelioVolt and Architectural Glass & Aluminum have announced a partnership to produce glass windows capable of generating electricity. HelioVolt is one of several new solar manufacturers using different materials to produce thin-film solar cells. The company intends to make solar cells for rooftop panels and later get into building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), where cells are embedded onto roof shingles, blinds, awnings, or other building components.
