Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about power glass

What is Power Glass?

Power Glass is transparent solar panel technology that can be integrated into buildings as windows, facades, roofs, and other architectural elements. It generates electricity while maintaining transparency and aesthetic appeal.

How efficient is Power Glass?

Our power glass achieves conversion efficiencies of 15-18% for standard products, with lab records reaching 21.62%. The CdTe technology offers excellent low-light performance and operates effectively even in cloudy conditions.

Can Power Glass be customized?

Yes! Power Glass offers 300+ colors, adjustable light transmission (10%-60%), custom patterns, and various sizes. You can also print custom graphics on the glass for branding or artistic purposes.

Is Power Glass safe?

Absolutely. Power Glass has Class A fire rating, is resistant to hot spots, and uses low-current technology for safety. The tempered glass construction meets all building codes and safety standards.

What is the payback period?

Payback periods typically range from 6-12 years depending on location, installation size, electricity rates, and available incentives. Use our Energy Calculator to get a customized estimate for your project.

How long does Power Glass last?

Power Glass is designed for a 25+ year lifespan with minimal degradation. The first year attenuation is 5%, with only 0.4% annual degradation thereafter, ensuring long-term performance.

What applications is Power Glass suitable for?

Power Glass can be used for windows, skylights, curtain walls, facades, awnings, canopies, sunrooms, fencing, privacy walls, railings, walkways, and even decorative installations. It's versatile for both new construction and retrofits.

Does Power Glass provide insulation?

Yes! Our Hollow Translucent Series offers excellent thermal insulation with U-values as low as 0.5-1.28 W/(m²·K), comparable to high-performance Low-E glass. It also provides superior sound insulation.
