Abstract: . . . PowerView Semi-Transparent Photovoltaic Module – “Smart Glass” NREL is excited to introduce a breakthrough solarpowered technology with multiple market applications. This new technology, the PowerView Semi-Transparent Photovoltaic Module or “Smart Glass” is a self-dimming, self-powered glass that combines photovoltaic (PV) technology with electrochromic (EC) technology. The technology operates by coating the inside surface of the glass with a transparent, thin film PV cell followed by an EC layer. The PV cell provides power to activate the EC layer, darkening or lightening the window. The smart glass window can block up to 98% of transmitted light and 100% of UV light all the time. The user can also control the amount of light transmitted through the glass. There are many energy . . .
