They use two main components: a nanoparticle interlayer and a special coating.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The nanoparticle interlayer is a thin layer inside the window made up of incredibly tiny particles. This layer is designed to help capture certain types of light that the window can turn into electricity.<\/li>\n<li>The special coating on the back of the window is designed to let most light through (so you can still see out of the window), but redirect infrared towards the edge of the window.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The infrared light sent to the edge of the window is caught by solar cells.<\/p>\n<div

their own nanoparticles and quantum dots, specifically for the layer inside the window that helps to capture the sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>The financial assistance agreement comes from the first round of the government\u2019s $285 Investment Attraction Fund, and will go towards\u00a0the assembly line that will manufacture ClearVue\u2019s solar PV strips, the solar collectors in the company\u2019s solar
