NSCC Applied Energy Research proposes to work in partnership with Kohltech Entrance & Window Systems, a company with 35 plus years of experience in designing windows, to design and build a prototype of a solar photovoltaic (PV) window to fit within an existing production frame and produce electricity. Kohltech islooking to diversify its offerings in the high performance buildings industry in Canada by developing a buildingintegrated solar PV window. Through this work Canadian builders will have a more accessible and diverseoption for solar powering devices and lowering their carbon footprint. The window NSCC and Kohltech will build together is for testing solar efficiency in Kohltech's currently designed and manufactured frames. Thisprototype will give Kohltech valuable data on how feasible it is for them to manufacture specialty solar PVwindows for the Canadian market.
