HANS Brings Solar-Powered Glazing Solutions to GlassBuild America 2026

LAS VEGAS, USA — September 25, 2026 

 

HANS showcased its latest solar-powered glazing solutions at GlassBuild America 2026, held September 23–25 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

As the largest event for the glass, window and door industries in North America, GlassBuild America brings together manufacturers, fabricators, suppliers, contractors and other professionals across the glass and fenestration supply chain.

At the 2026 show, HANS presented two key product solutions: solar-powered integral blinds (blinds between glass) and solar-powered smart switchable glazing for doors.

Solar-Powered Integral Blinds for Windows & Doors

HANS' solar-powered integral blinds are designed to integrate shading directly into insulating glass units (IGUs).

By combining blinds, solar power and intelligent control within the glazing system, the solution is designed to provide clean, wire-free shading for modern windows and doors.

The technology can be applied to residential windows, entry doors, patio doors, storefronts, commercial glazing and other architectural glass applications.

For window manufacturers, IGU manufacturers and glass processors, HANS provides opportunities for product integration and customized configurations based on different glass and window system requirements.

 

Solar-Powered Smart Switchable Glazing for Doors

Another featured solution at GlassBuild America 2026 was HANS solar-powered smart switchable glazing for door applications.

The solution combines switchable privacy glass with solar-powered smart control, allowing glass to switch between transparent and privacy modes without relying on conventional external AC wiring.

Together, the two technologies demonstrate HANS' approach to integrating glass, shading, power and smart control into modern glazing systems.

 

Supporting North American OEM & ODM Cooperation

HANS' participation in GlassBuild America 2026 is also part of its ongoing development of the North American market.

The company works with window and door manufacturers, glass processors, IGU fabricators, architectural glass companies and system partners through OEM, ODM, product integration and component-based cooperation.

Rather than requiring every partner to develop the complete technology in-house, HANS can provide core glazing and shading technology that can be integrated into a partner's own window, door or glass production system.

This creates opportunities for customized integral blinds, blinds between glass and smart glazing solutions adapted to the requirements of the USA and wider North American market.

 

HANS Smart Glazing Solutions for North America

Following GlassBuild America 2026, HANS will continue expanding its presence in the USA and North American market, with a focus on solar-powered integral blinds, blinds between glass, smart switchable glazing and intelligent shading systems.

HANS welcomes inquiries from North American window manufacturers, door manufacturers, IGU manufacturers, glass processors, architectural glass companies and OEM/ODM partners looking to add integrated shading or smart glazing to their product portfolios.
