Registration Statement on Form S -1 Filed February 1, 2018 File No. 333 -222809 Dear Mr. Conklin : We have reviewed your registration statement and have the following comments.

After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. General 1. We note that your registration statement on Form S -1, File no. 333 -212770, has not been updated to include your audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2017, as required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securi ties Act and your Item 512(a)(i) undertaking. Please advise whether any offers or sales have been made under that registration statement since December 31, 2017, the date by which information should have been updated. We may have further comment upon rev iew of your response. Calculation of Registration Fee Table 2. The disclosure of the securities listed in the fee table and on the prospectus cover page and elsewhere in the prospectus appears to contain several errors. The prospectus cover page refers t o 821,600 shares as underlying “Series P” instead of “Series S” warrants that John A. Conklin Solarwindow Technologies, Inc. February 26, 2018 Page 2 are exercisable for $3.42 per share. Regarding shares previously registered for resale, the fee table does not indicate that any of these 1,527,445 shares are still subject to t he exercise of Series P warrants, although the prospectus cover page indicates that 86,500 shares are issuable upon exercise of Series P warrants. Please revise as necessary to reconcile your disclosures between the cover page and fee table, and elsewhere in the prospectus as necessary. 3. We note your footnote five disclosure that you are using Rule 457(g) to calculate the registration fee. Since the transaction you are registering is the resale of shares by selling stockholders at market prices, the regis tration fee for these shares should be calculated based on the highest of the price at which the warrants may be exercised or the price of securities of the same class determined in accordance with Rule 457(c), or the last sale reported for your securities on OTCQB within five business days prior to the filing of your registration statement. Please see Rule 457(c) and (g) and revise accordingly in your next amendment. Shares Outstanding upon Closing of the Offering, page 4 4.
