About Us
Greenhouses need a high percentage of the ambient light to reach the plants on the inside and as a result, any cladding used must be highly transparent. In addition, the ideal cladding will not change the spectral characteristics of the light. The price of a greenhouse Solar Panel must also be low enough to generate a positive ROI by offsetting purchased electricity. Brite Solar’s Solar Glass product has optimized full spectrum transparency, power production and cost to meet the needs of the commercial greenhouse application.
Brite has also developed variations on the Solar Glass technology. The first is a low cost, thermally insulating Electrochromic Glass called Dynamic Glass.
Brite is ramping production and building pilot greenhouses utilizing the Solar Glass in Europe and in the USA.
Brite`s vision
Brite's vision is to deploy advanced nano material engineering to create new types of glass products and have a positive impact on worldwide energy consumption to support a growing world population.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to deliver transparent solar glass with 5% efficiency, >70% transparency and thermal insulation to the commercial greenhouse market at a price point allowing mass conversion and future deployment and also deliver energy saving glass to the architectural glass market to substantially reduce worldwide heating and cooling energy consumption in commercial and residential buildings.
Why Our Technology
Glass has been an important material in Architecture since the first glass windows were used in Roman Egypt in 100 AD.
As technology has developed, glass has now become the predominant facade material throughout the world. Unfortunately, the very transparency that makes glass attractive for buildings creates undesirable effects in terms of thermal and optical insulation.
Brite Solar is dedicated to the deployment of advanced nanotechnology materials to create new types of architectural glass that can reduce the energy footprint for buildings by reducing energy for heating, cooling and lighting and at the same time produce electrical energy from light.
