Solar Walls for Ambient Workplace Lighting

Revitalizing the conventional confines of the traditional workspace, designer Jenny Redd has come up with an innovative room divider that other than providing privacy, also harnesses solar energy to run the office. The “Solar Wall,” as the designer hails the divider, utilizes a new kind of solar technology, wherein dye-sensitized solar cells are printed onto the glass, to provide electricity to the workspace. Capturing energy in its screen-printed honeycomb pattern, the freestanding room divider stores solar energy in its base, where power outlets are provided to juice up and run the electronics. The up-to-the-minute technology helps you accumulate not only the direct sunlight but also the indirect ambient light to power all the gadgets in the office.
