PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary highlights certain information contained elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our shares. We urge you to read this entire prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes and other documents incorporated by reference into this reoffer prospectus, before making an investment decision.
Our Company
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 5, 1998, under the name “Octillion Corp.” On December 2, 2008, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to effect a change of name to New Energy Technologies, Inc. Effective as of March 9, 2015, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to SolarWindow Technologies, Inc.
Our executive office is located at 430 Park Avenue, Suite 702, New York, New York 10022. Our telephone number is (800) 213-0689; our email is info@solarwindow.com. Our website is www.solarwindow.com. Information contained on our web site (or any other website) does not constitute part of this prospectus.
Our operations are conducted primarily from our offices in the Republic of South Korea, located at JA-1022HO 10F, 338, Gwanggyojungang-ro, Suji-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea (the “Korean Office”). Our staff in the Korean Office consists of four individuals, including John Rhee, President and Director of both SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. and SolarWindow Asia Co., Ltd.
Our research and development activities are conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratories in Golden, Colorado pursuant to a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement.
All of our other officers, employees and consultants currently work remotely.
Background
We are a pre-revenue company developing proprietary transparent electricity-generating coatings, and methods for their application to various materials (“LiquidElectricity™ Coatings”). When applied to materials such as glass and plastics, our LiquidElectricity™ Coatings generate electricity by harvesting light energy from natural sun, artificial light, and low, shaded, or reflected light conditions.
We apply ultra-thin layers of LiquidElectricity™ Coatings to rigid glass, and flexible glass and plastic surfaces where they transform otherwise ordinary surfaces into organic photovoltaic devices. When applied to otherwise ordinary glass, for example, these coatings generate electricity, producing power under natural, artificial, low, shaded, and reflected light conditions. Potential applications of our LiquidElectricity™ Coatings span multiple industries, including architectural, automotive, agrivoltaic (greenhouse agriculture), aerospace, commercial transportation and marine.
We have achieved important milestones and overcome major technical challenges in order to broaden the range of materials and products that we can coat to generate electricity. Our goals in developing electricity-generating products have included ensuring transparency and esthetics, optimizing power generation, and lowering the costs of our coating materials and their related application.
The subject of over 90 granted and in-process trademark and patent filings, our coatings and application processes and technologies can be applied to generate electricity on building facades, balcony railings, curtain walls, skylights, and shading systems, as well as automotive, truck, marine and aircraft applications, and consumer products and military uses.
Risk Factors
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors,” that represent challenges that we face in connection with the successful implementation of our strategy and growth of our business.
THE OFFERING
This reoffer prospectus relates to the public offering, which is not being underwritten, by the Selling Stockholders listed in this prospectus, of up to 4,534,370 shares of common stock for sale by the Selling Stockholders for their own account, and consisting of 3,980,150 shares of our common stock issuable or issued to the Selling Stockholders upon exercise of options granted to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the 2006 Plan that have vested prior to the date of this reoffer prospectus and 562,553 shares of our common stock issued to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the 2006 Plan. The Selling Stockholders may from time to time sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the shares covered by this prospectus through underwriters or dealers, directly to purchasers (or a single purchaser) or through broker-dealers or agents. We will receive none of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Stockholders. We would, however, receive proceeds upon the exercise of the stock options by those Selling Stockholders who receive or received options under the 2006 Plan pursuant to the Option Agreements and exercise of such options for cash. Any cash proceeds will be used by us for general corporate purposes. We will bear all expenses of registration incurred in connection with this offering, but all selling and other expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders will be borne by them.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, initially filed with the SEC on October 4, 2020 (the “Closing 8-K”), and under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of each subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K (which documents are incorporated by reference herein), as well as the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this reoffer prospectus or in any prospectus supplement hereto before making a decision to invest in our shares. Our business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The Selling Stockholders may sell the common stock issued to them from time-to-time at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions.
USE OF PROCEEDS
This reoffer prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to this reoffer prospectus. To the extent that we receive any funds from the exercise of options issued to the Selling Stockholders, such funds will be used to fund the development of our technology and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

(1) | The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the Selling Stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares, which the Selling Stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days. “Shares Beneficially Owned After the Offering” assumes the sale of all of the common stock offered by this reoffer prospectus and no other purchases or sales of our common stock by the Selling stockholders and does not constitute a commitment to sell any or all of the stated number of shares of common stock. The number of shares offered will be determined from time to time by each Selling Stockholder at their sole discretion. Each of the beneficial owners listed above has direct ownership of and sole voting power and investment power with respect to the shares of our common stock and except as indicated the address of each beneficial owner is 430 Park Avenue, Suite 702, New York, NY 10022. |

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 24, 2021, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. |

Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based upon information obtained from the Selling Stockholders. Information with respect to “Shares Beneficially Owned Prior to the Offering” includes the shares issued pursuant to our 2006 Plan. Information with respect to “Shares Beneficially Owned After the Offering” assumes the sale of all of the common stock offered by this reoffer prospectus and no other purchases or sales of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders. Except as described below and to our knowledge, the named Selling Stockholders beneficially own and has sole voting and investment power over all shares or rights to these shares.
Because the Selling Stockholders may offer all or part of the common stock currently owned, which they own pursuant to the offering contemplated by this reoffer prospectus, and because its offering is not being underwritten on a firm commitment basis, no estimate can be given as to the amount of shares that will be held upon termination of this offering.
Listing of Common Stock
Currently our common stock is not listed for trading on a national exchange. Our stock is quoted for trading on the OTC Markets Group, Inc.’s Pink Sheets-Current Information under the symbol “WNDW” and is currently penny stock exempt.
Indemnification Agreement and Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance
The Company’s Bylaws require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, including indemnification of expenses such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, penalties, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the director or executive officer in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of the Company, arising out of the person’s services as a director or executive officer. The Company has obtained an insurance policy that insures its directors and officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under applicable securities laws.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Timing of Sales
Under our 2006 Plan, we are authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of our common stock.
Subject to the foregoing, the Selling Stockholders may offer and sell the shares covered by this reoffer prospectus at various times. The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.
Offering Price
The sales price offered by the Selling Stockholders to the public may be:
| · | the market price prevailing at the time of sale; |
| · | a price related to such prevailing market price; or |
| · | such other price as the Selling Stockholders may, in their discretion, determine from time to time. |
Manner of Sale
To the extent permissible, the common stock may be sold by means of one or more of the following methods (or such other methods as may be permitted by applicable law):
| · | a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the common stock as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| · | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by that broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this reoffer prospectus; |
| · | ordinary brokerage transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; |
| · | through options, swaps or derivatives; |
| · | in transactions to cover short sales; |
| · | privately negotiated transactions; or |
| · | in a combination of any of the above methods |
The Selling Stockholders may sell their shares directly to purchasers or may use brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents to sell their common stock. Brokers or dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Stockholders, or, if any such broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale. The compensation received by brokers or dealers may, but is not expected to, exceed that which is customary for the types of transactions involved.
Broker-dealers may agree with a selling stockholder to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent the broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for a selling stockholder, to purchase as principal any unsold common stock at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholder.
Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may thereafter resell the shares from time to time in transactions, which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices then related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with resales of the common stock, broker-dealers may pay to or receive from the purchasers of shares commissions as described above.
If the Selling Stockholders enter into arrangements with brokers or dealers, as described above, we are obligated to file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement disclosing such arrangements, including the names of any broker-dealers acting as underwriters.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the Selling Stockholders in the sale of the common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. In that event, any commissions received by broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Such brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Stockholders and/or purchasers of the shares or both. Such compensation as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions. The Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify any broker, dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares arising under the Securities Act. We have notified the Selling Stockholders of the need to deliver a copy of this reoffer prospectus in connection with any sale of the shares.
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of our shares and activities of the Selling Stockholders, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in passive market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. Passive market making involves transactions in which a market maker acts as both our underwriter and as a purchaser of our common stock in the secondary market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares.
Once sold under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
Sales Pursuant to Rule 144
Any shares of common stock covered by this reoffer prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this reoffer prospectus.
Accordingly, during such times as a Selling Stockholder may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, the selling stockholder must comply with applicable law and, among other things:
| · | may not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock; |
| · | may not cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place; and |
| · | may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Exchange Act. |
In addition, we will make copies of this reoffer prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
State Securities Laws
Under the securities laws of some states, the common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless the stock have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
Expenses of Registration
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. These expenses are estimated to include, but not limited to, legal, accounting, EDGARization and filing fees, printing and mailing fees. Any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares will be borne by the Selling Stockholders or other party selling such shares. Sales of the shares must be made by the Selling Stockholders in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, including the Securities Act.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES LAW VIOLATIONS
Section 78.7502(1) of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) authorizes a Nevada corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee, or corporate agent “who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation” due to his or her corporate role. Section 78.7502(1) extends this protection “against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.”
Section 78.7502(2) of the NRS also authorizes indemnification of the reasonable defense or settlement expenses of a corporate director, officer, employee or agent who is sued, or is threatened with a suit, by or in the right of the corporation. The party must have been acting in good faith and with the reasonable belief that his or her actions were in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests. Unless the court rules that the party is reasonably entitled to indemnification, the party seeking indemnification must not have been found liable to the corporation.
Section 78.751(2) authorizes a corporation’s articles of incorporation, bylaws or agreement to provide that directors’ and officers’ expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action must be paid by the corporation as incurred, rather than upon final disposition of the action, upon receipt by the director or officer to repay the amount if a court ultimately determines that he is not entitled to indemnification. Section 78.751(3)(a) provides that the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights under any bylaw, agreement, stockholder vote or vote of disinterested directors. Section 78.751(3)(b) extends the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses to former directors, officers, employees and agents, as well as their heirs, executors, and administrators. Our bylaws require us to indemnify our directors to the fullest extent permitted under Nevada law or any other applicable law in effect.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
You should rely only on the information contained in this document. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different. This document may only be used where it is legal to sell these securities. The information in this document may only be accurate on the date of this document.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known may also impair our business operations. The risks and uncertainties described in this document and other risks and uncertainties which we may face in the future will have a greater impact on those who purchase our common stock. These purchasers will purchase our common stock at the market price or at a privately negotiated price and will run the risk of losing their entire investment.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the common stock offered by this reoffer prospectus has been passed upon by Sierchio Law, LLP. Mr. Joseph Sierchio, principal of the firm and a named Selling Stockholder. Mr. Sierchio is the beneficial owner of 249,067 shares of our common stock which includes vested options to purchase 52,500 shares of our common stock all of which have been registered pursuant to the reoffer prospectus and included as part of this registration statement.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 78.7502(1) of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) authorizes a Nevada corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee, or corporate agent “who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation” due to his or her corporate role. Section 78.7502(1) extends this protection “against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.”
Section 78.7502(2) of the NRS also authorizes indemnification of the reasonable defense or settlement expenses of a corporate director, officer, employee or agent who is sued, or is threatened with a suit, by or in the right of the corporation. The party must have been acting in good faith and with the reasonable belief that his or her actions were in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests. Unless the court rules that the party is reasonably entitled to indemnification, the party seeking indemnification must not have been found liable to the corporation.
To the extent that a corporate director, officer, employee, or agent is successful on the merits or otherwise in defending any action or proceeding referred to in Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), Section 78.7502(3) of the NRS requires that he be indemnified “against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.”
Unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Section 78.751(2), Section 78.751(1) of the NRS limits indemnification under Section 78.7502 to situations in which either (1) the stockholders, (2) the majority of a disinterested quorum of directors, or (3) independent legal counsel determine that indemnification is proper under the circumstances.
Section 78.751(2) authorizes a corporation’s articles of incorporation, bylaws or agreement to provide that directors’ and officers’ expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action must be paid by the corporation as incurred, rather than upon final disposition of the action, upon receipt by the director or officer to repay the amount if a court ultimately determines that he is not entitled to indemnification.
Section 78.751(3)(a) provides that the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights under any bylaw, agreement, stockholder vote or vote of disinterested directors. Section 78.751(3)(b) extends the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses to former directors, officers, employees and agents, as well as their heirs, executors, and administrators.
Regardless of whether a director, officer, employee or agent has the right to indemnity, Section 78.752 allows the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on his behalf against liability resulting from his or her corporate role.
Our Bylaws also contain broad indemnification provisions.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities Exchange Commission, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.
There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees, or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director, officer, employee, or other agent.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
The shares of common stock which may be sold pursuant to the reoffer prospectus for the respective accounts of the Selling Stockholders issued to the Selling Stockholders under the 2006 Plan were issued by the Company in reliance upon the available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including those contained in Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b), which relates to exemptions for offers and sales of securities pursuant to certain compensatory benefit plans.

(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(a) and (a)(1)(b) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
