NEXT Energy Technologies — piloting installations in 2023
Early in 2023, outdoor apparel company Patagonia announced it had installed solar windows at its corporate headquarters in Ventura, California, furthering the company’s commitment to sustainability. The windows were fabricated and installed by Walters & Wolf, a large commercial window company operating in the Western U.S., that used a transparent PV coating from NEXT Energy Technologies. NEXT’s coating was integrated into 22 windows on the south-facing façade of Patagonia’s campus, and the power is being used to charge phones and other devices in the employee community spaces.
