Researchers of the PLACEMENT perfected a procedure of solar concentrateur, allowing obtaining the light of the sun on the very surface d’une leaf of glass and to concentrate l’énergie thus collected on the slicees of this one. According to Science and Life "the surface of the glazing is not costly and bears easily irregularities of surface. The surface is an organic ink that deposits itself by a printing press procedure on a very ordinary glass.

Of this manner, any glazing can be conceived to leave to pass 10% of the light and convert the remainder in electricity ". This system, working with a number reduces cells, would allow besides to simplify and to reduce the cost of production of the traditional solar panels. A rich technological advance of promises of which the first applications should see the light of day d’ici 3 years… And if the windows n’apportaient more only the view and the light but participated in l’alimentation in energy of the building?
