Lippert Components and SolarWindow Technologies are to collaborate to produce transparent electricity-generating products.
The two organisations have agreed to pursue the integration of SolarWindow technologies into select Lippert components to produce the electricity-generating products.
“This collaboration with SolarWindow marks an opportunity to introduce innovations like electricity-generating glass into Lippert’s existing recreational vehicle, marine vessel, and specialty building product markets, while further strengthening our commitment to environmental stewardship, which is at the core of everything we do,” explained Jason Lippert, Lippert president and CEO.
“Every day, Lippert manufactures more than 23,000 windows worldwide. Meanwhile, customers across our business have been asking for augmented and true off-grid power.
“We believe our collaboration with SolarWindow presents the potential for novel energy solutions to meet our customers’ needs through transparent, lightweight, and fully integrated SolarWindow-Lippert products.”
Amit Singh, SolarWindow president and CEO, added: “I look forward to continuing to build on our working relationship with Lippert.
SolarWindow and Lippert enter this next phase of our relationship with confidence.

“Lippert has nearly 70 years of experience in commercialising innovative products globally and is an ideal product collaboration partner for integrating our transparent, ultra-thin SolarWindow coatings to turn otherwise ordinary glass into electricity-generating windows.”
Lippert has 140 manufacturing and distribution centres across North America, Africa, and Europe and consumes more than 330 million square feet of glass annually for manufacturing and supplying windows, tempered and laminated glass products, and components.
SolarWindow is a developer of proprietary transparent, electricity-generating coatings, methods, and other technologies that, when applied to glass and plastic surfaces, are capable of generating electricity by harvesting light energy from natural sunlight, artificial light, and low, shaded, or reflected light conditions.
Amit continued: “SolarWindow and Lippert enter this next phase of our relationship with confidence.”
Lippert supplies a range of components for recreational vehicles, automobiles, watercraft, and prefab homes alongside a wide range of aftermarket segments including recreational vehicle and caravanning, automotive, and marine industries.
