Buildings and infrastructure
Energy-generating roofs and facades, embedded storage, surface heating, cooling, deicing and architectural illumination.
Applications
Imagine what becomes possible when the surface is the energy system
SolarPWRD begins with the material already present in a building, vehicle, product or garment and asks what additional functions it could perform.
Application landscape
Six markets ready for active materials
The platform is most compelling where conventional energy equipment is too rigid, heavy, visible, separate or space-intensive.
Vehicles and transportation
Active exterior surfaces, light capture beneath compatible paint systems, climate-control components and integrated lighting.
Textiles and clothing
Functional material woven into fabrics to heat or cool the wearer in personal, protective, medical and demanding environments.
Industrial thermal systems
Localized heat, cooling, deicing and distributed power for production equipment, transport systems and constrained spaces.
Remote and portable products
Generation and storage integrated directly into devices that need greater energy autonomy and fewer external components.
Lighting and smart surfaces
Flexible illumination for architecture, vehicle interiors, electronics, wayfinding, branded spaces and industrial equipment.
SolarPWRD Buildings
Every elevation can become productive
Traditional solar design begins by finding a suitable roof or field. SolarPWRD expands the available canvas to facades, glazing systems, exterior materials and interior energy surfaces.
A building can combine generation with storage, heating, cooling and illumination. The result is a more integrated relationship between architecture and energy.
Produce more within the site boundaryUse vertical and nontraditional surfaces where roof area is limited.
Reduce separate equipmentCombine functions within materials already specified for the building.
Design for local conditionsTune the solution for climate, orientation, appearance and operating needs.
Exterior energy harvestingActive material can follow the vehicle body and continue capturing light beneath compatible painted finishes.
Cabin temperature controlHeating and cooling can be integrated into seats, panels and interior materials.
Integrated lightThin illumination supports interiors, safety, signalling and brand expression.
SolarPWRD Mobility
Let the vehicle body participate in the energy system
Mobility applications are constrained by weight, aerodynamics, appearance and limited horizontal area. A conformable active layer can use the body itself without adding the visual language of a roof-mounted panel.
The same platform can also support thermal management and light, creating several opportunities within one vehicle architecture.
SolarPWRD Textiles
Clothing that responds to the person and the environment
Perovskite-based functional material can be incorporated into textiles to support wearable heating or cooling. The garment becomes part of the thermal system rather than relying entirely on the surrounding room or vehicle.
Potential uses include personal comfort, protective equipment, outdoor work, medicine, emergency response and extreme environments.
01
Personal comfortLocalized warmth or cooling where the wearer needs it
02
Protective systemsThermal support for demanding work environments
03
Medical and recoveryControlled temperature in application-specific garments
Choosing where to begin
The best first use case has a clear constraint
SolarPWRD creates the most immediate value where an existing solution is limited by space, shape, weight, temperature, integration or the need for separate components.
Limited surface area
High output density matters when every square metre must work harder.
Complex geometry
Flexible or coatable materials can follow forms that cannot accept rigid panels.
Multiple functions
The strongest opportunity may combine electricity, storage, thermal control or light.
