The other day I was shown a new type of solar collector that was amazing. It is a crystallized film that is applied to glass surfaces and has the ability to create power much like any solar panel would except for two differences. One, you can still see through the window it is applied to. This in itself is truly amazing. However this material has another property that will set itself apart from any other material currently used in the collection of sunlight and transformation into energy. First of all, during daylight hours this material is almost 300% more efficient than previous solar panels. Second when the sun goes down this material can produce power from artificial light sources. street lights, passing vehicles, lightning storms. All will produce some level of power. This has never before been achievable until now.
That being said, I am not here to advertise this product. Architectural Braindump is about how this world is changing. In earlier articles I wrote about integration of technologies that are more intertwined and cohesive. I have proposed that buildings will almost become a living organism to live and work in. This material helps drive home that point and shows us direction towards my theory. Glazing on a building will serve a dual purpose. Not only has the amount of reactive space been increased on some buildings by a hundred fold, but, the efficiency has been increased to incredible levels. I am confident that in the future Architects will exploit this new technology and take advantage of the returns it can provide.
one thing for sure this is one profession that is ever changing.
