Israeli company brings 'solar windows' to Wisconsin

Israel-based firm Pythagoras Solar has completed installing the worlds first solar windows that simultaneously generate electricity through solar power and also optimize the daylight coming through the windows, the company announced this week.

The 20 windows were successfully integrated into the Organic Valley headquarters building in La Farge, Wisconsin. With the new windows, workers inside the building are able to turn off artificial lights during the daytime, as the windows bring diffused natural light, instead of glare, into the building, the company said.

This is really cool:

Pythagoras Solar ( ) offers the only transparent and high-density PVGU, which combines solar PV power generation with the modularity and insulating benefits of the standard insulating glass unit (IGU) while preventing direct solar radiation from entering the building. This delivers a new level of design flexibility to the architecture, construction and engineering industries, enabling the creation of cost-efficient, aesthetically pleasing, self-powered buildings. Currently available product applications include curtain walls and skylights. To learn more, visit
