How is Smart Glass powered?
Smart Glass operates on 110 Volts AC power. It consists of five layers and it use small electrical charge that is approximately 3 to 5 watts per square meter. Smart Glass (electrochromic) uses voltage (12-36 W) and causes lithium-ions to transfer layers and making the glass tint.
