SunThru 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.
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
