Glass to Power
A revolutionary patent, the result of years of research with the aim of increasing the eco-sustainability of buildings, without compromising their aesthetics.
Our technology applied to the glass industry makes it possible to turn the façades in insulating glass active and photovoltaic. The Glass to Power transparent photovoltaic insulating glass is among the most interesting and promising BiPV solutions, as it allows to produce energy on usually passive building surfaces.
Transparent Photovoltaic
Glazing
From Nanoparticles to Photovoltaic Glazing
The key-steps of the exclusive Glass to Power process: from the production of nanoparticles derived from inorganic components, to the assembly of the transparent photovoltaic glazing.
Photovoltaic Insulating Transparent Glass
Transparent photovoltaic insulating glass units are essential components in the creation of highly innovative curtain walls, capable of producing electricity by exploiting solar radiation.
Glass to Power windows are among the most interesting BIPv (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) innovations of the moment, because they are a decisive step forward towards the energy independence of buildings, preserving the aesthetic characteristics and functionality of curtain walls.
Glass to Power
Glass to Power is a University of Milan Bicocca Spin-off, that was born from the scientific interest of Professors Sergio Brovelli and Francesco Meinardi and from the intention of Management Innovation, a scouting and consulting company for technological innovation, of transfer this extraordinary innovation to the business world. In this way, some important players in the world of industrial and financial patents have gathered around this business idea and the new company took shape, acquiring the exclusive license of the patents, with the aim of developing all the industrial research activity necessary to quickly create an industrial product.
