Solar Window Pilot Project Planned for Willis Tower (Sears Tower)

Pythagoras Solar that generates solar power and is also a provider of energy efficient, transparent windows today announced that it has been selected by Willis Tower, originally Sears Tower for collaborating on the pilot project to help provide on building’s energy efficiency and renewable energy enhancement goals. This particular pilot process was organized in the month of November 2011 on south facing windows of the 56th floor of Willis Tower or Sears Tower using an apartment incorporated photovoltaic solution, which as the capability to expand to surface area following sustainable modernization endeavours.

Mr. John Houston, Executive Vice President at American Landmark Properties, one of the Willis Tower’s ownership partners said that they are delighted to introduce this pilot project with leading edge solar window solutions of Pythagoras Solar as a test for not only energy savings can be achieved but the capability, they symbolize for actually generating power via sun. Pythagoras Solar offers ground-breaking Building Integrated Photovoltaics products that fuse solar power generation, transparency and energy efficiency for enabling self-powered, aesthetically-pleasing buildings. The company was envisaged at Precede Technologies, the Israeli incubator that teams up inventors, entrepreneurs and scientists. Gonen Fink, leader in taking Check Point Software from start-up to multibillion dollar company and Dr. Itay Baruchi, award-winning physicist, saw a business opportunity at intersection of increasing demand for declining cost of Photovoltaic (PV) solar power and Green Buildings.
