Commercial Transparent OPV Window Coating by NEXT is a groundbreaking solution that revolutionizes the way buildings generate clean energy. This proprietary organic photovoltaic technology allows glass facades to seamlessly double as solar panels, harnessing sunlight to produce electricity while maintaining transparency and aesthetics.

Using a scalable and energy-efficient slot-die coating process, the OPV layer is applied to architectural windows, canopies, skylights, and spandrel panels. By absorbing UV and infrared light, the transparent OPV covertly converts solar energy into electricity without compromising the visual appeal of the building. This innovative approach enables large-scale energy generation without the need for bulky, traditional solar panels.

The technology, optimized for integration into existing glass fabrication workflows, features world-record transparent OPV panels measuring 40″x60″. Buildings equipped with NEXT's OPV coating can offset a significant portion of their energy demand, reducing reliance on grid power and lowering HVAC loads. This not only leads to cost savings but also contributes to a more sustainable and energy-efficient built environment.

Backed by Nobel Prize-derived materials, the OPV solution is earth-abundant, cost-effective, and suitable for global deployment. With support from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the California Energy Commission (CEC), NEXT's technology is transitioning from pilot projects to commercial installations, with successful demonstrations in prominent buildings like the Patagonia HQ.

By providing sustainable, onsite energy generation, enhancing building resilience, and supporting net-zero energy goals, NEXT's Commercial Transparent OPV Window Coating is at the forefront of green building innovation.
