Eco Factor: Window glass generates renewable energy.

Dutch company Peer+ has unveiled the latest in BIPV technology in the form of Smart Energy Glass for windows that generate renewable energy and give you the desired privacy as well. Similar to the upcoming LCD glass treatments, these windows let you change their transparency level at the flick of a switch and feature a “Privacy Mode” where the glass is at its darkest.

The company explains that the Smart Energy Glass is an organic product that has been designed on cradle to cradle principles. The glass converts light that is normally reflected and wasted into electricity. The company doesn’t state the technology being used or the amount of charge they produce, but even if the glass generates enough to keep a cellphone buzzing, it could be greeted with some interested faces.
