Professor at King Abdulaziz University for Science and Technology.Founder of iyris. The iyris innovation allows any window to become a solar cell. Our technology absorbs the infrared portion of the spectrum to produce electricity, whilst at the same time blocking heat from passing through and leaving the window transparent to our eyes. We coat our technology directly on commercially available glass, seal this as a double glazed window unit and the iyris panel is ready to be sold. This glass can be directly integrated in to a building’s fabrication allowing it to produce electricity and reduce heating invisibly.
