Blue Device’s Solar Smart Window Doesn't Rely on External Power or Wiring
Laura McQuarrie — December 3, 2025Blue Device’s Solar Smart Window introduces a self-powered, low-cost way to cut building energy use, solving the limitations of today’s wired, energy-hungry smart window systems.
Buildings burn huge amounts of energy for heating and cooling, driving emissions and operating costs. Current smart windows require wiring, external power, and costly film replacements, which only increase installation complexity, indirect emissions, and power bills.
Recognized as a 2026 CES Innovation Awards Honoree in the Sustainability & Energy Transition category, the Blue Device Solar Smart Window needs no wiring or external energy because it is powered by solar power and can be charged using indoor lighting. Its exclusive nanoparticle liquid design cuts installation costs by over 50% and reduces energy consumption by 20-40%, introducing a practical solution for offices and off-grid buildings.
