Pythagoras Solar Announces Photovoltaic Glass Unit (PVGU), First Green ... MarketWatch (press release)

18.05.10

SAN MATEO, CA and TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, May 18, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Pythagoras Solar, a provider of advanced building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) products, today announced plans to commercialize the industry's first energy efficient, transparent and high power density photovoltaic glass unit (PVGU). The company's groundbreaking new technology is the first to combine energy efficiency, solar power generation and appealing aesthetics in a single green building material -- a solar window. PVGU products will be available for curtain walls, skylights and windows in the second half of 2010.

Pythagoras Solar also announced that it has established formal relationships with Arkema, China Sunergy and Flextronics, all of which will help Pythagoras Solar to quickly scale its operations as it prepares for commercial production and distribution.

Triple Value BIPV Technology

Pythagoras Solar leverages a combination of patent-pending optics, high-efficiency crystalline silicon, advanced materials science and simulation software to create a highly efficient photovoltaic glass unit (PVGU), a new category of green building material. Unlike existing BIPV products, Pythagoras Solar curtain walls, skylights and windows simultaneously block solar radiation; concentrate sunlight and convert it into solar power; and deliver a high level of transparency for optimal daylighting and aesthetics. A video animation and images of the PVGU platform are available at www.pythagoras-solar.com .
