New Energy Technologies, Inc. announced that SolarWindow, the world’s first-of-its-kind, see-through technology capable of generating electricity on glass windows and flexible plastics, has been selected as the Energy Innovation Award winner for 2013 by Energy Business Review (EBR).

Chosen by the editorial staff of EBR, the award recognizes the most promising projects with the potential to become trendsetters in the global energy sector.

“This recognition reflects the tremendous efforts of our researchers and development team in advancing our SolarWindow technology recently,” John A. Conklin, president and CEO of New Energy Technologies, Inc., said. “We look forward to further innovations and unveiling our next-generation prototypes to the world early in 2014.”

The Company has made numerous advancements to its prototype see-through solar technology for generating electricity on glass and flexible plastics, including achieving faster fabrication time, improved transparency and device design and architecture. The technology is produced using low-cost manufacturing methods, and is capable of remaining see-through while generating electricity using both natural and artificial light sources, and has been engineered to be architecturally neutral and aesthetically-pleasing.

New Energy Technologies is preparing to unveil the company’s next-generation, high performance SolarWindow prototypes with never-before-released photos and multi-media content within the first quarter, 2014. The company is awaiting performance results for its latest high-performance prototypes from an accredited independent photovoltaic testing lab measuring electrical performance of photovoltaic cells.
