MAKING ENERGY BEAUTIFUL
Peafowl Solar Power is a spin-out from Uppsala University, Sweden, that has developed a groundbreaking transparent solar cell. Our technology enables the next generation of smart buildings and self-powered IoT devices.
Optimizing buildings with a new generation of smart glass
Our high-transparency solar cells enable integration of sensors directly into window glass, without wires or batteries. Existing buildings can easily be retrofitted with smart building management systems which create a comfortable indoor environment, increase productivity and save energy. A new room is connected simply by changing a window pane.

self-powered DYNAMIC GLASS
Dynamic shading of windows with automatic transparency control improves indoor environment, enhances property value and saves up to 40% of energy spent on HVAC.
With our fully integrated power solution this technology becomes more sustainable, less expensive to install and suitable for retrofitting as well as for new construction.

WE ENABLE self-powered devices and sensors FOR the internet of things (IoT)
Internet of Things (IoT) is enabled by smart sensors, essential in applications like energy efficient building systems. Our transparent solar cell technology enables integration of light harvesting from indoor and outdoor light into smart sensors and low-power devices without compromising their aesthetic design. Printed directly onto surfaces or displays, the high transparency makes it virtually invisible. Our plasmonic cells are produced without any rare or toxic materials, warranting a high sustainability rating.
