[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] SoftPV, a solar cell specialist company (CEO Ahn Hyunwoo), announced on the 8th that it has signed a business agreement with HouseMuch, a window specialist company, to develop intelligent windows.

SoftPV is a company that developed the world's first 3D bead-shaped SMD (Surface Mount Device) type ultra-small solar cell and gained attention by winning the Innovation Award at the 2021 CES exhibition in the United States.

Through this business agreement, the two companies agreed to jointly proceed with product development ideas and field tests in the domestic remodeling market. In addition, they stated that they will closely cooperate to combine each company's capabilities for commercialization and create new synergy.

SoftPV prints its previously developed 3D ultra-small solar cell "SoftCell," along with LEDs, sensors, and Bluetooth electronic components, onto SoftFoam, a transparent film with printed electric circuits, producing and supplying strip-type modules. When attached to electrochromic glass, the strip-type module blocks ultraviolet rays and helps indicate the external dust condition by displaying the dust level on the glass through LED colors.

HouseMuch, a remodeling company well known for same-day installation services and breathable windows, plans to manufacture windows by receiving SoftPV's strip-type module SoftGoods and electrochromic glass. The company explained that it aims to enter the domestic high-end market through this collaboration.

Ahn Hyunwoo, CEO of SoftPV, said, "Through this business agreement, the two companies plan to exchange product development ideas for the high-end domestic remodeling market," adding, "We will closely cooperate to create new synergy by combining each company's capabilities in field testing and commercialization."

The intelligent windows being developed by the two companies are scheduled to be completed this year and launched in the first half of 2022.
