New Energy Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: NENE) has been accepted to present
at IDTechEx’s fifth annual Energy Harvesting and Storage USA 2013
conference, the world’s largest conference on Energy Harvesting and
Storage applications and technologies. The conference will be held
November 20th-21st, with Masterclass presentations
on the 19th and 22nd, at the Santa Clara
Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
Dr. Scott Hammond, New Energy’s Principal Scientist, will present an
overview of:
-
The Company’s latest developments of the world’s first-of-its-kind,
see-through technology capable of generating electricity on glass and
flexible plastics on Wednesday, November 20th; and
-
The market opportunities and technical considerations for
semitransparent organic photovoltaic (ST OPV) devices in the Building
Integrated and Building Applied PV (BIPV and BAPV) markets, along with
discussing technical hurdles that must be addressed to unlock these
growing markets on Friday, November 22nd in one of
IDTechEx’s expert-led Masterclasses.
Dr. Hammond’s discussions will focus on organic photovoltaic (OPV)
research and the use of transparent contacts that allow increased
transparency, and improves power conversion efficiency and flexibility
in semitransparent OPV devices. The basis for the research is the
combining of transparent contacts with conductive substances and
polymers to further enhance product durability and performance.
Conventional photovoltaic PV and OPV devices typically utilize an opaque
metal contact or transparent indium tin oxide (ITO), has low or no
visible light transmission (transparency), exhibits low power due to
high resistance, requires high-vacuum, high temperature processing,
and/or has poor flexibility.
The transparent contact technologies incorporating conductive substances
and polymers have the additional potential for lower-cost manufacturing,
as they are fully solution-processable, allowing for a variety of
application techniques, including roll-to-roll (R2R) and sheet-to-sheet
(S2S) processing.
Currently under development for eventual commercial deployment in the
estimated 85 million commercial buildings and homes in America,
SolarWindow™ technology is the subject of forty two (42) patent filings
and is the world’s first-of-its-kind technology capable of generating
electricity on see-through glass windows. New Energy Technologies, Inc.
is positioning itself and SolarWindow™ to becoming the standard for
advanced window technology for high performance office buildings and
skyscrapers. The importance of building integrated PV brings focus to
the importance of deploying SolarWindow because “building-integrated and
building-applied PV are set to achieve a compound annual growth rate of
at least 41 per cent through 2016."
The Energy Harvesting and Storage USA 2013 Conference will have
Application and Technology focus areas, as well as a Tradeshow, Company
Visits, and the Masterclasses. The Conference is co-located with
IDTechEx’s Printed Electronics USA 2013. IDTechEx also offers
independent market research, business intelligence and advice on
emerging technologies to companies across the value chain, supporting
them in making essential strategic business decisions.

About New Energy Technologies, Inc.
New Energy Technologies, Inc., together with its wholly owned
subsidiaries, is a developer of next generation alternative and
renewable energy technologies. Among the Company’s technologies under
development are:
-
MotionPower™ roadway systems for generating electricity by
capturing the kinetic energy produced by moving vehicles – a
patent-pending technology, the subject of 59 US and International
patent applications. An estimated 250 million registered vehicles
drive more than six billion miles on America’s roadways, every day; and
-
SolarWindow™ technologies, which enable see-through windows to
generate electricity by ‘spraying’ their glass surfaces with New
Energy’s electricity-generating coatings – the subject of 42 patent
applications. These solar coatings are less than 1/10th the thickness
of ‘thin’ films and make use of the world’s smallest functional solar
cells, shown to successfully produce electricity in a published
peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy
of the American Institute of Physics.
Through established relationships with universities, research
institutions, and commercial partners, we strive to identify
technologies and business opportunities on the leading edge of renewable
energy innovation. Unique to our business model is the use of
established research infrastructure owned by the various institutions we
deal with, saving us significant capital which would otherwise be
required for such costs as land and building acquisition, equipment and
capital equipment purchases, and other start-up expenses. As a result,
we are able to benefit from leading edge research while employing
significantly less capital than conventional organizations.
