Solaires Entreprises, a British Columbia-based cleantech startup that develops high power conversion efficiency photovoltaic modules (PV Modules), has announced a Licensing Agreement with SEI Energy, a JV between Solaires and Genesis Technology, a Shanghai-based manufacturer. The Companies are collaborating to achieve mass production of PV Modules, aiming to replace batteries in indoor electronic devices.
This licensing deal enables SEI Energy to manufacture PV Modules specifically designed for indoor applications, catering to the growing demand in the Asia market. By leveraging Genesis’ extensive manufacturing capabilities and market reach, the collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of innovative PV
Module technology in a variety of indoor electronic devices, reducing reliance on traditional batteries and promoting cleaner energy alternatives.
By 2030, an estimated 15 billion battery-driven devices will be in operation, demanding a staggering 800 GW of power. Despite this escalating need, the global quest for clean, indoor solar power remains largely unfulfilled by conventional photovoltaic modules. Solaires, with their novel PV Module technology, offers an
inexpensive and easily printable solution that aims to revolutionize the industry. These innovative modules boast superior light absorption, resulting in unparalleled performance and an impressive energy conversion efficiency of 35% specifically optimized for indoor applications.
Solaires' manufacturing process is said to not only be cleaner but also more cost-effective compared to traditional silicon-based materials. The technology enables self-charging capabilities for a wide array of battery-driven devices, including wireless keyboards, smart door locks, electronic shelf labels, sensors, IoT
devices, and more.
