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
