GLASS TO POWER |
Invisible energy.
The electricity flows invisibly from the transparent glass windows of our homes, offices and shopping centers, directly to storage systems and consumers. This is the dream of anyone who has respect for the environment and cares about architectural impact.
Today this is possible through a new extraordinary technological revolution called LSC - Luminescent solar concentrator - which makes use of nanocrystals incorporated into thin films or modules of plexiglass.
The nanocrystals convert sunlight into infrared light which is reflected inside the panel across to the window edge. Here, a thin strip of silicon photovoltaic cells converts the infrared photons into electric power with a high efficiency rate. It sounds like magic but it’s true!
Glass to Power (G2P) is a spin-off of the University of Milan Bicocca based on the scientific research of Prof. Sergio Brovelli and Prof. Francesco Meinardi and created due to the commitment of Management Innovation to transfer this extraordinary innovation into a real market product. In no time at all we have brought together some of the major players in the business industry and finance around this idea to create the new company, acquiring the exclusive patent license, with the aim of developing the whole industrial research and development necessary to quickly design and produce an industrial product.
The market for this new technology is huge. Using the G2P technology it is possible to achieve the goal of Zero Energy Buildings. Completely autonomous buildings from an energy point of view, as required by the European Directive 31/2010 / EU will come into force across Europe by 2020. Similar regulations are to be introduced in the US and China and G2P technology is now the only one able to address this important and ambitious challenge.
The industrial and academic network of G2P guarantee quick access to the best technologies and the market, developing, in a few years, highly innovative products for the European and international market.
