Solarmer, Joel Berman Glass Studios develop aesthetic glass PV solution

Solarmer Energy has developed modular glass panels that are visually attractive as well as renewable energy generators. The glass photovoltaic panels have been developed in partnership with Joel Berman Glass Studios.

The aesthetically appealing photovoltaic (PV) glass panels feature Joel Berman Glass Studios’ textured kiln-cast glass laminated to Solarmer Energy’s transparent plastic solar cells. The resulting composite panels are suitable for use in architectural applications where decorative glass and solar energy generation are desired features.

The materials and manufacturing technologies employed by Solarmer Energy result in a lower cost alternative to traditional silicon-based solar technologies.

No information was released about the amount of energy these panels will provide.
