Supercharging Solar

Simple, efficient power increase for solar panels

How does it work?

The photon multiplier material works by splitting and therefore increasing the number of infrared photons (light particles) that hit a solar panel, harvesting more solar energy and boosting the performance of silicon photovoltaic modules.

Increased
performance

Increases efficiency of any silicon solar panels by up to 15%

Seamless
integration

No need to change manufacturing processes

Increased
ROI

Increased for solar manufacturers and owners

Environmentally
friendly

No risk of heavy metal leaching
