glass2energy The Situation
glass2energy 70% oftheworld‘spopulation will live in an urban areaby 2050 80% oftheworld‘scarbonemissionsareproducedbycities 40% oftheworld‘senergyisconsumedbybuildings
glass2energy • The challenge • Generateelectricityin the heart of cities • wherepeople liveand consume • wherespaceisscarce • whereesthetics are valued • whereenvironmental impact must beminimal
glass2energy • Our solution • Generateelectricityfromalmostevery glass • surfaceyoucan imagine… • facades • windows • balconies • anti-noise barriers • fences • verandas • bus shelters • etc…
glass2energy • Our technology • dye-sensitizedcelltechnology (DSC) • leading-edgenanotechnologyinvented by Prof. Grätzelfrom the EPFL • representing the 3rd generationphotovoltaics 1st generation: CSi 2nd generation: thin-film CSi 3rd generation: DSC
Think of it as artificialphotosynthesis… 2% leaves sun energytogrow sun electricity glass2energy modules
glass2energymodulesare 10x different... diffuse light everyorientation frombothsides transparent efficient in interior colored efficiencyimproves withtemperatures 100% glassstructure easy to recycle no rare earth notoxic material lowsensitivityto shadows
3 keybenefits... 1. High energygeneration 20-30% morekWh/Wpharvest (v. C-Si PV of same capacity, at same angle&orientation) 2. Multiple applications transparency, colors, designs andtotallynewuses Low environmental impact muchbetterprofilethanexisting PVs 3.
Different & complementary uses… focus on electricitygenerationonly, mainly on roofsand solar farms colors, transparency, designandelectricitygenerationon vastrangeofapplications
