Can Solar Power Go Beyond Rooftops?

What if solar energy could come from windows, walls, or even fabric, and no panels are required?

Bringing Solar Power to Places Panels Can’t Go


NanoFlex Power Corporation is working on thin-film solar technology that reimagines how and where solar energy can be used. By focusing on organic photovoltaic (OPV) systems, they’re developing flexible, lightweight, and semi-transparent solar films that can blend into various surfaces, including building materials. These solar films come in different shapes and colours, making it possible to produce energy in places where regular panels can’t fit, bringing solar power into more parts of daily life.

Exploring Everyday Possibilities for Solar Use


NanoFlex’s thin-film technology offers new ways to bring solar power into daily life. Instead of focusing on large-scale panels, this approach can support energy needs in smaller or more mobile applications like powering off-grid tools, enhancing building facades, or supporting temporary setups in areas without infrastructure. By widening where and how solar power can appear, it creates space for energy solutions that fit into routines and environments where conventional systems fall short

Paving the Way for Net-Zero Buildings​


NanoFlex Power Corporation's advancements in organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology are contributing to the development of net-zero energy buildings. By creating ultra-thin, lightweight, and flexible solar solutions, they enable the integration of solar power generation into building materials, such as windows and facades. This approach allows buildings to generate electricity on-site, potentially offsetting their energy consumption. As a result, structures can move towards achieving energy neutrality, producing as much energy as they consume. This integration of OPV technology into architectural elements supports sustainable building practices and contributes to reducing the overall environmental impact of urban development.
