Description
SolarWindows™, a newly innovative creation being recognized as a new way to capture energy. The use of solar windows and the way that they can impact society is the big idea. For the research of this topic, scholarly sources from the web will be used to obtain the information. The reason for this topic is because there needs to be more alternative ways to conduct solar energy to reduce the amount of energy consumption throughout the world. Every building, whether it is commercial, industrial, or residential, all have windows of some sort and being able to convert those windows into a way to harness energy will reduce the energy cost prices around the world by more than 50%. The electricity-generating coating can be applied to new or existing windows, which is connected to an electrical adapter. They are said to be able to conduct enough energy to support America's 85 million detached homes and commercial buildings, turning entire buildings into ‘vertical power generators’. This topic is important because solar energy is the most readily available way to make energy using a sustainable resource. Solar energy is already used in forms that may be too expensive or not as obtainable to people. Solar windows would cut the energy cost of a building by 30-50% and “guarantees a one-year financial payback (SolarWindow™)” for building owners. As a building owner, investing in solar windows would be an efficient way to save money, as well as the environment.
