Alternative cellular arrangements offer greater photovoltaic production percentages by trapping light and increasing surface area.

Fram Energy is unlocking energy retrofits for rental homes by realigning incentives and helping building owners pick the best retrofits.

Creating the first truly scalable microgrid solution.

Achieving real-time situation awareness through dynamic state and grid strength estimation

Small new buildings located in remote places and their electrical energization, where there is no electrical grid.

We provide homeowners with accurate, no-cost data with which to make informed decisions on solar installations.

Our silica-titania suspension is non-toxic, durable, easily spray coated, anti-static, transparent, and adheres to glass on exposure to UV

Ray® is a portable, autonomous unit that remediates contaminated water by focusing heat and UV from the sun into the photocatalytic process.

The Saltwater Distillation System uses solar power to distill seawater, brackish groundwater or brine into fresh water and sea salt.

Heliotrope coatings convert wasted UV into usable infrared light, making solar panels 8 to 15% more efficient with little additional cost.

AM-STAR develops low-cost, light-weight, and weather-resilient additively manufactured polymer heliostats with biologically-inspired design.
