New Energy Technologies, Inc. announced that the company has achieved compatibility of the SolarWindow(TM) architecture with a variety of active layer electricity-generating coatings. In organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, the active layer plays a critical role in determining a number of the key properties of the device, including: color, amount of visible light transmission (VLT), wavelength response, and power production. New Energy has established SolarWindow(TM) as a versatile platform for the eventual commercialization of a range of products.

With different active layer electricity-generating coatings, SolarWindow(TM) products may be manufactured with a variety of colors, levels of VLT, wavelength response, and power production, adapting to different building characteristics, such as color, power production, and energy offsetting requirements. The device architecture fabrication process for SolarWindow(TM) coatings remains unchanged, thus allowing a single fabrication line to produce a variety of active layers and color options for applications on window, plastic and other substrate products. Combined with the low-temperature, high-throughput, solution-based fabrication techniques used in SolarWindow(TM), this enables the Company to remain focused on low-cost fabrication processes for a wide range of products.

The compatibility of SolarWindow(TM) with a variety of active layer materials provides the Company a path for future development of additional products and discoveries. New Energy's SolarWindow(TM) architecture represents a platform for the commercialization of a variety of see-through products capable of generating electricity on glass and flexible plastics. Today's announcement of compatibility with a variety of active layer materials demonstrates the versatility, affordability, and potential of SolarWindow(TM) coatings for a diverse array of see-through electricity-generating products for skyscrapers, buildings, and other applications.

New Energy Technologies is preparing to unveil the Company's next-generation, high performance SolarWindow(TM) prototypes with never-before-released photos and multi-media content within the first quarter, 2014. The Company is awaiting performance results for its latest high-performance prototypes from an accredited independent Photovoltaic Testing Lab. Upon receipt of the Lab's Performance Test Report, the Company anticipates announcing unveiling dates and additional information regarding the technology in future announcements.
