Founded in 2017 after more than 12 years of photovoltaic-materials research at Princeton University, Andluca develops and manufactures transparent UV-harvesting glass and wireless smart-window systems. Headquartered in Rochester, where it conducts chemistry, materials development, thin-film manufacturing and R&D, the company also operates a product center in Oakland focused on window integration. Its SafeFlight UV™ interlayer adds an invisible-to-humans, bird-friendly treatment to laminated glass, while Innovio™ Glass supplies in-window power for self-powered smart features.
Energy GlassEnergy Glass develops ENERGYGLASS™, an optically clear building-integrated photovoltaic window system that turns vertical glazing into a source of electricity without grids, dots, or lines across the field of vision. Its patented inorganic nanotechnology redirects light to protected edge collectors, allowing the glass to generate power from sunlight and ambient light while serving as a building window. The company also applies the technology to energy-supporting greenhouse systems.FAIRMONT, WV
Nodis CorpFrom its Marysville, Ohio base, Nodis develops nanoparticle-based smart glass film that changes tint, color, and infrared control with a small electrical voltage. Founded in 2014, with Nodis Inc. established in 2020 to commercialize technology developed in Singapore, the company supplies its TruTint platform through partnerships with flat-glass manufacturers. Its work spans energy-saving glazing for buildings and vehicles, with transparent display and camouflage applications also under development.COLUMBUS, OH
SunThruSunThru develops highly transparent silica aerogel monoliths and integrates them into window insulating glass units. The company’s prototype delivers triple-pane performance in a unit with the thickness and weight of double-pane glass, and SunThru is now scaling its manufacturing process from laboratory production to window-sized monoliths. Its work has been supported by the National Science Foundation, NYSERDA, Fuzehub and Union College’s Aerogel Lab.SCHENECTADY, NY
Ubiquity Solar IncUbiquity Solar develops and manufactures high-efficiency photovoltaic cells and modules for electric power generation, aerospace, and transportation applications. Based in Endicott, New York, the privately owned company is moving from more than a decade of research and development into vertically integrated U.S. production at an 800,000-square-foot former IBM facility. Its team brings more than 200 years of combined solar and semiconductor experience, including technology acquired from Alta Devices.ENDICOTT, NY
