Anderson Corporation, Ubiquitous Energy partner to create energy generating window and doors

BAYPORT, MINN. — Andersen Corporation, manufacturer of windows and doors, and Ubiquitous Energy, specializing in transparent solar technology, have entered into an agreement to jointly develop first-of-its-kind energy generating window and door products for residential and light commercial buildings.

The products will leverage Ubiquitous Energy’s UE Power technology, a visibly transparent photovoltaic glass coating that harnesses solar power to generate electricity, indicates a release.  

The products the companies are jointly developing are intended to bring renewable energy generation to windows and doors while providing a clear, natural experience that is similar to what is expected from traditional windows and doors.

“Our companies have a shared goal of changing the way the world uses solar power and positively impacting the environment in a big way without compromising esthetics or function,” said Susan Stone, chief executive officer, Ubiquitous Energy, in a statement.
