SolarWindow and Lippert Enter into Framework Agreement
Lippert Components Inc. and SolarWindow Technologies Inc. have agreed to jointly pursue the integration of SolarWindow technologies into select Lippert components to produce transparent electricity-generating SolarWindow-Lippert products.
About the companies
Lippert is one of the largest non-float glass manufacturers in the world with 140 manufacturing and distribution centers across North America, Africa and Europe. Lippert consumes more than 330 million square feet of glass annually for manufacturing and supplying windows, tempered and laminated glass products, and components for recreational vehicle, transit, specialty vehicle and other adjacent markets.
SolarWindow is a developer of transparent, electricity-generating coatings, methods and other technologies that, when applied to glass and plastic surfaces, are capable of generating electricity by harvesting light energy from natural sunlight, artificial light, and low, shaded or reflected light conditions.
Companies' response
"This collaboration with SolarWindow marks an opportunity to introduce innovations like electricity-generating glass into Lippert's existing recreational vehicle, marine vessel and specialty building product markets, while further strengthening our commitment to environmental stewardship, which is at the core of everything we do," says Jason Lippert, president and CEO, Lippert. "Customers across our business have been asking for augmented and true off-grid power. We believe our collaboration with SolarWindow presents the potential for novel energy solutions to meet our customers' needs through transparent, lightweight and fully integrated SolarWindow-Lippert Products."
"I look forward to continuing to build on our working relationship with Lippert," says Amit Singh, president and CEO, SolarWindow Technologies. "Lippert has nearly 70 years of experience in commercializing innovative products globally and is an ideal product collaboration partner for integrating our transparent, ultra-thin SolarWindow coatings to turn otherwise ordinary glass into electricity-generating windows."
