Project funded by Wells Fargo Innovation Incubator (IN2) shows novel solar window technologies’ steady climb up new energy-performance curve and potential improved energy efficiency

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NEXT Energy Technologies, Inc., makers of a proprietary transparent photovoltaic (PV) coating that transforms commercial windows with uncompromised aesthetics into energy-producing solar panels, has announced results of a multi-year photovoltaic window project it has completed as part of the Wells Fargo Innovation Incubator (IN2) that shows the overall energy-efficiency performance of NEXT transparent PV windows compared to traditional commercial windows.



IN2 is a renewable technology initiative with a major focus on supporting scalable solutions to reduce the energy impact of commercial buildings. It is co-managed by the Wells Fargo Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Results of this project are significant given that commercial buildings account for 36% of all US electricity consumption at a cost of more than $190 billion annually. Additionally, windows represent 30% of a commercial building’s heating and cooling energy, costing US building owners about $50 billion annually, according to DOE. Combined with President Joe Biden’s new goal of the US government achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, it is imperative that the commercial real estate and construction industries transform how buildings manage energy and where they get it.

“To effectively mitigate climate change, we need to fundamentally rethink how we design, construct, power, and manage our built environment,” said Daniel Emmett, CEO of NEXT Energy Technologies. “Our project data shows these windows can help buildings reduce energy consumption by improving the efficiency of windows and generating electricity for the building.”

NEXT’s transparent energy harvesting technology allows architects and building owners to turn windows and glass facades into producers of low-cost, on-site, renewable energy for buildings. The photovoltaic technology is enabled by proprietary organic semiconducting materials that are earth-abundant and low-cost. This material is coated uniformly onto glass as an ink in a high-speed, low-cost, low-energy process, enabling the glass to harvest the sun’s light and convert it into electricity rather than heat.

In the IN2 NEXT project, NEXT windows were modeled and tested against traditional commercial windows, tracking performance based on their respective Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), an industry-standard performance metric for commercial windows. SHGC measures the amount of heat – or solar gain – created by sunlight passively entering buildings through windows. Excessive solar gain can lead to overheating within a space and inefficient energy management throughout a building.

The results of the study show that NEXT’s technology could lower the SHGC from an otherwise equal window to something below .20.

Garret Henson, the Vice President Sales & Marketing at Viracon, a leading manufacturer of architectural glass for commercial buildings in North America, said: “These are extremely significant results for the energy efficiency of insulating glass. Achieving a SHGC below .20 while providing neutral aesthetics has been a monumental challenge for all of us that create vacuum deposition architectural coated glass. Balancing performance and appearance is the heart of ideal harmony and it appears NEXT has done just that.”

The lowering of the SHGC represents a median source energy savings of approximately 10% across all locations and a maximum source energy savings of up to 50% in some locations (e.g., New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona) compared to baseline scenarios for today’s traditional windows.

“The results of the collaboration with NEXT give us data on how to redefine ways architects and building owners measure the performance of commercial windows,” said Trish Cozart, program manager of IN2 and director of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center at NREL. “If you can generate substantial amounts of electricity with a building’s windows, it can mark a new chapter. Now, the goal is the evaluation of SHGC to account for impacts of power generation as well as solar heat gain.”

About NEXT Energy Technologies, Inc.

NEXT Energy Technologies is a Santa Barbara, California company developing transparent energy harvesting window technology that allows architects and building owners to transform windows and glass facades into producers of low-cost, on-site, renewable energy for buildings.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Boat Restoration Market Size, Market Share, Application Analysis, Regional Outlook, Growth Trends, Key Players, Competitive Strategies and Forecasts, 2022 to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global boat restoration market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.5% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2030. The market for ship restoration services is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for passenger ships and ferries across East Asia, South Asia, and the Pacific.

A primary element that is driving the growth of the worldwide ship repair and maintenance services market is the continuous rise in shipbuilding operations. The size of the worldwide marine fleet was 1.3 million units in 2010, and reached about 2 million units at the end of 2020, representing a growth of 53%.

Because shipping by water has a noticeably lower overall cost compared to other modes of transportation and a noticeably greater carrying capacity, international commerce has a tendency to choose this mode of transport. As a result of this, it is anticipated that the market for ship repair and maintenance services would continue to expand.

Increasing Demand from Recreational Boating Industry

It is projected that the growing need for boats used for leisure purposes will enhance demand in the market for boat construction. Boating for pleasure is a well-liked pastime activity in many countries throughout the world. Recreational boating includes a wide variety of activities, such as water skiing, fishing, and travel, that is enjoyed by a large number of people.

Application of Cutting Edge Technologies to Increase Efficiency

In the marine business, robots are utilised for the performance of a wide variety of duties, ranging from cleaning and maintenance to fully driverless ships, with the goals of lowering the danger of injury to humans and improving the overall efficacy of the process.

Therefore, cutting-edge robotics that are having an impact on maritime operations is a significant development that is driving a crucial trend in the maritime business. Platforms based on the SaaS model are assisting in the reduction of unanticipated costs in the field of ship repair and maintenance.

Environment-Friendly Solutions to Boost the Market Growth

Shipbuilding enterprises all around the world are rapidly turning to environmentally friendly shipbuilding technology in order to comply with environmental laws and standards.

Ships with no ballast systems, which prevent organisms from entering the ship and eliminate the need for sterilisation equipment, sulphur scrubber systems, waste heat recovery systems, speed nozzles, exhaust gas recirculation systems, advanced rudder and propeller systems, fuel and solar cell propulsion systems, and the use of LNG fuels for propulsion and auxiliary engines are all examples of technologies that are currently being used in shipbuilding.

Bulk Carriers to Dominate in terms of type of Vessels

In 2021, it is anticipated that bulk carriers will hold more than 30 % of the market share for vessels categorised as bulk transport. Ships specialised in carrying unpackaged bulk cargo, such as coal, grains, ore, and cement, are known as bulk carrier ships. The demand for bulk carriers is particularly high in developing countries like India, Brazil, Mexico, and the countries of the ASEAN.

Electrical Repairs to Account for Most of the Restoration Activities

Electrical and instrumentation repairs, including electrical motors, generators, and electrical equipment maintenance and repair, are estimated to be major forms of repairs.

As investors become more selective, fintech, cyber, supply chain and alternative energy opportunities remain hot and key beneficiaries of global VC funding, reaching $120.2 billion during Q2’22.



Investors increased focus on profitability while the Americas and Europe show most resilience, attracting $66.2 billion and $27.3 billion in VC funding, respectively, in Q2’22.

Global fundraising reached $158.6 billion at mid-year: a record pace despite market uncertainty

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Against a backdrop of geopolitical, supply chain and economic uncertainty, overall global VC investment is falling, but several sectors, including fintech and cleantech, are beneficiaries of more selective investments.

According to the Q2’22 edition of Venture Pulse — a quarterly report, published by KPMG Private Enterprise, that analyzes key VC deals and trends globally — fintech, cybersecurity, supply chain management and alternative energy and energy storage opportunities are continuing to attract significant interest from investors. This is despite global VC investment dropping to $120.2 billion across 8,420 deals in Q2’22.

The Americas attracted $66.2 billion in VC investment — over half of the total global VC investment — during Q2’22, with the US accounting for $62.3 billion of this amount. Europe’s market showed strong resilience during the quarter, attracting $27.2 billion in investment during Q2’22. Despite the second successive quarter of decline, VC investment in Europe remained high compared to pre Q2’21. Q2’22 was the most subdued in Asia, dropping to an eight-quarter low of $24.5 billion across 2,206 deals.

Investor interest in supply chain and logistics continues to grow as industry challenges continue to have an impact. Soaring global energy prices and increased concerns around energy security has driven investors to look at alternative energy and storage options. Investments in electric vehicles, battery technologies and increasingly hydrogen are becoming more attractive.

The US attracted the world’s largest VC deals during Q2’22, including a $2 billion raise by Epic Games, a $1.7 billion raise by Space X, and a $1.5 billion raise by Gopuff. With its $1.2 billion raise, Germany-based fintech company Trade Republic accounted for the fourth spot — the only company outside of the US to raise a $1 billion plus round during the quarter. In Asia, the largest deal of the quarter was an $805 million raise by India-based Dailyhunt.

“With valuations declining, many tech companies performing poorly on the public markets, and no end in sight to the level of geopolitical uncertainty, notwithstanding other challenges facing the VC market globally, we’re starting to see investors instructing their portfolio companies to preserve cash,” said Jonathan Lavender, Global Head, KPMG Private Enterprise, KPMG International.

“Heading into Q3’22, this trend is expected to continue as start-ups look to survive in an increasingly challenging environment where profitability will be of critical importance.”

Key Highlights – Q2’22

  • Global VC investment dropped considerably, from $165.3 billion across 11,468 deals in Q1’22 to $120.2 billion across 8,420 deals in Q2’22.
  • VC investment in the Americas dropped from $89.3 billion across 5,034 deals in Q1’22 to $66.2 billion across 3,778 deals in Q2’22. The US accounted for $62.3 billion of Q2’22 investment in the Americas, down from $81.9 billion in Q1’22.
  • VC investment in Asia sunk to an eight-quarter low of $24.5 billion across 2,206 deals in Q2’22.
  • Despite a drop to $27.2 billion in Q2’22, VC investment in Europe remained quite strong compared to historical trends.
  • Global fundraising remained very strong, with $158.6 billion raised by the end of Q2’22 — well on track to exceed the $$252.2 billion record high set in calendar 2021.
  • After plummeting from $355 billion in Q4’21 to $70 billion in Q1’22, exit value dropped even further to just $50.8 billion in Q2’22.
  • Global CVC-affiliated investment dropped from $76.6 billion in Q1’22 to $49.7 billion in Q2’22.

Global fundraising remains on record pace, driven by activity in the US

Global fundraising activity remained on record pace at mid-year, with $158.2 billion in fundraising by the end of Q2’22. The US helped buoy global fundraising amounts, accounting for $121.5 billion at mid-year, compared to the $138.9 billion annual record high the region saw in 2021. VC investment in cybersecurity, alternative energy, electric vehicles, and battery storage in the US held strong in Q2’22 and is well-positioned to remain hot heading into Q3’22.

Fundraising activity in Europe fell off record pace, with $13.3 billion in fundraising at mid-year, while fundraising in Asia remained very subdued compared to previous highs, with $16.9 billion raised in the first half of 2022.

No end in sight to uncertainty but interest in new tech to grow

Heading into Q3’22, the global uncertainty plaguing the world is expected to continue, which will likely continue to keep the IPO window shut and VC investment soft. Down rounds could become more common as companies are forced to raise funding rounds despite the challenging fundraising environment.

M&A activity globally could increase as investors look for deals among companies experiencing challenges and start-ups in various industries look to consolidate to improve their economies of scale and market positions. In tech, the crypto tide is likely to turn with further consolidation among firms heading into Q3’22 as many try to cope with a major sell-off in assets.

“While there’s still dry powder out there, over the next quarter, VC investors are going to become a lot more critical of targets and are likely to place increasing emphasis on profitability,” said Conor Moore, Head of KPMG Private Enterprise in the Americas Region & Partner at KPMG in the US.

“We’ve been talking about potential consolidations for a while, particularly in more mature industries like e-commerce. While the top one or two or three companies in a particular space might continue to be attractive to investors, the rest will likely see a pullback. This will likely drive consolidation as companies run out of cash.”
