SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. named Patrick Sargent VP of product development and engineering. He will use his knowledge of the glass and photovoltaic (PV) industries to guide the scale-up and pre-industrial processing of SolarWindow technologies necessary for commercialization.
“One of the most impressive features about SolarWindow is how it’s being developed for direct integration with existing fabrication and glass manufacturing processes using high speed and large area coating methods,” said Sargent. “Manufacturability is one of the technology’s most compelling features, and is a real competitive edge in this market. SolarWindow liquid coatings can be applied onto glass at high speeds and at large scale.”
In addition to targeting new installations, the company recently announced that its products are being developed as transparent, tinted, flexible veneers that installers can apply directly over top of existing windows on tall towers and skyscrapers.
Sargent previously served at Asahi Glass Company, a $10 billion international glass producer, as photovoltaics cover technology leader for its North American Solar Business Unit. He also worked at Lucent Technologies and Fujitsu Network Communications.
