New Energy's Patrick Thompson Featured Panelist at Industry-Leading PV America East 2013 Conference

New Energy Technologies, Inc. is positioning itself and SolarWindow™ to becoming the standard for advanced window technology for high-grade office buildings and skyscrapers.

Philadelphia, Penn. – February 14, 2013 – Patrick Thompson, Vice President of Business and Technology Development of New Energy Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: NENE) participated in a panel discussion and presentation at the PV America East 2013 Conference held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center on Wednesday, February 6.


Mr. Thompson was among five panelists chosen to participate in Custom-by-Design: Where Solar Function Meets Solar Style, a conference session that addressed the hottest issues and challenges of building integrated PV (BIPV) facing the PV industry. Discussions featured architects, designers, manufacturers and developers on how to enhance solar design appeal, while optimizing system performance, keeping costs in line, and playing a key role in a new era of distributed power generation.

Mr. Thompson provided the audience an overview of Solar Window™ technology development and business objectives, discussed overall photovoltaic technology advancement, and shared perspectives how the industry can work together on improving building efficiency and energy autonomy through organic photovoltaic (OPV) systems.

Mr. Thompson also presented to the audience how smart grid technology could benefit from distributed generation. The value of generating power directly where it is used while maintaining an aesthetic design is becoming understood, thereby assisting with mitigating barriers imposed by current BIPV technologies.

SolarWindow™ is a first-of-its-kind technology which enables see-through windows to generate electricity with the Company's patent-pending electricity-generating coatings. SolarWindow™ technology utilizes an organic solar array composed of a series of ultra-thin layers of small cells. These cells are fabricated using mostly hydrogen-carbon based substances.

New Energy Technologies, Inc. is positioning itself and SolarWindow™ to becoming the standard for advanced window technology for high-grade office buildings and skyscrapers. The replacement or retrofit of the current stock of windows with the advanced SolarWindow™ may result in an energy offset contribution to the overall energy equation.

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoil is a high-performance cast resin transformer designed for many demanding and diverse applications while minimizing both installation and maintenance costs. Coils are formed with mineral-filled epoxy, reinforced with fiberglass and cast to provide complete void-free resin impregnation throughout the entire insulation system. HPS EnduraCoil complies with the new NRCan 2019 and DOE 2016 efficiency regulations and is approved by both UL and CSA standards. It is also seismic qualified per IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013. Cast resin transformers are self-extinguishing in the unlikely event of fire, environmentally friendly and offer greater resistance to short circuits. HPS also offers wide range of accessories for transformer protection and monitoring requirements.
