Oakland University has hooked up with Auburn Hills-based Octillion Corp. to research and develop NanoPower Window technology, the company's advanced solar photovoltaic technology. Yeah, that's a mouthful. It's basically solar panels. It's another step towards establishing Michigan as a major force in the alternative energy industry.
Excerpt:
“Nanotechnology research and development requires a highly
collaborative and flexible approach to achieve commercially viable
outcomes, and that sentiment is very much alive here at Oakland
University,” Cucinelli said in a statement. “There is a rapidly growing
‘nanotechnology corridor’ developing here in Southeast Michigan, and we
look forward to working with Oakland University to access and enhance
those resources.”
The two-year agreement will be focused on transparent photovoltaic
device construction on glass substrates, and also includes provisions
to explore related innovations such as flexible substrates, hybridized
solar cell designs, and other photovoltaic innovations.
