Powerfoyle Powers Solar Tech at CES 2025

Showcasing the Future at CES 2025

At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Exeger made a strong statement about how light-powered technology is moving from concept to mass adoption. Their booth was designed as an immersive space where attendees could interact with headphones, sensors, remotes, helmets, and retail displays—all running directly on ambient light through Powerfoyle. The emphasis was not only on showing prototypes but also on highlighting real products entering the market with trusted partners such as Philips, 3M, and VusionGroup.

What stood out was the variety of sectors represented. From consumer electronics to retail automation and smart homes, Exeger used CES to demonstrate that Powerfoyle is not tied to a single niche—it is a material designed to scale across industries. Visitors saw how headphones could play continuously without charging, how smart shelves could operate without batteries, and how safety gear like helmets could function independently of plugs or chargers. By presenting so many use cases under one roof, Exeger showed that light as a power source is no longer a futuristic vision but an immediately practical solution.

Powerfoyle: A Solar Cell That Breaks Barriers

Unlike conventional solar panels that are rigid, limited in design, and dependent on direct sunlight, Powerfoyle is thin, flexible, and adaptive to almost any surface. It works indoors as well as outdoors, turning everyday lighting into usable energy. The breakthrough lies in its ability to be customized in both appearance and form—it can mimic textures like leather, fabric, or plastic while still performing as a solar cell. This opens the door for manufacturers to integrate it seamlessly into devices without altering their look or feel.

The production process also sets it apart. Built entirely in Stockholm using 100% renewable energy, each Powerfoyle cell reflects Exeger’s focus on sustainable manufacturing. By combining clean production methods with a technology that reduces reliance on disposable batteries, it aligns with broader environmental goals. The flexibility in application—whether in headphones, IoT devices, or even helmets—shows how Powerfoyle bridges the gap between advanced material science and practical design. It’s not just about charging a device differently; it’s about rethinking how energy can be built into the objects we use every day.

Why It Matters

The innovations displayed at CES 2025 are more than individual gadgets—they represent a shift in how energy can be integrated into consumer products. Devices powered by Powerfoyle reduce or eliminate the need for traditional charging cycles, which in turn cuts down on the environmental impact of battery waste and charging infrastructure. For companies, it means designing products that are more reliable and less dependent on after-sales battery replacements. For users, it means convenience, cost savings, and less time spent managing charging routines.

By partnering with global brands across sectors, Exeger has proven that light-powered technology is not a one-off experiment but a versatile platform. It can fit into headphones, home sensors, remotes, helmets, and retail systems, each solving a different problem but relying on the same underlying principle: converting everyday light into energy. This is why the CES showcase matters—it demonstrated not just a technology, but an ecosystem that can scale. The message was clear: with Powerfoyle, light itself becomes a dependable and universal power source for modern life.
