Peafowl listed among top 8 climate startups in Swedish climate challenge
Peafowl Solar Power has been listed among the top 8 startups with with ideas that can speed up the energy transition and steer the development towards the global goal of 1,5-degree warming. The nomination is done by Startup4Climate, a challenge aimed at startups and...
New paper in Nature Materials
The ability to efficiently collect not only the electrons but also the positive charges means that direct plasmonic solar cells can be improved both by boosting performance and by better voltage regulation, while maintaining the colorless high-transparency look.
Pilot testing for indoor sensors
Our first pilot project, only marginally delayed by the pandemic, has now been launched. Together with one of Sweden's largest real estate owners Akademiska Hus and their tenant Green Innovation Park, we will now be mounting picture frame installations. The picture...
PeafowlGlass: Smart glass with embedded sensors
The most energy intensive system of a commercial building tends to be HVAC – heating ventilation and air conditioning – which account for over 50% of the energy use. In smart buildings, using optimized regulation, this can be cut by 15%. And that is not a compromise...
Rapid coronatesting could be enabled by plasmonics
Plasmonic nanoparticles are useful not only for transparent solar cells, but also for development of biological and chemical sensors. Plasmonic biosensors and plasmonic PCR are now proposed for rapid testing of covid-19.
Welcome our new CEO: Per Edström
In the midst of recent turbulent events, our team keeps growing both inside and outside the lab – and we are happy to welcome Per Edström as our new CEO. Per is a serial entrepreneur who brings over 30 years of experience in developing innovative early stage companies...

3.4 million SEK from the Swedish Energy Agency
We are proud to announce that we have been granted 3.4 MSEK from the Energy Agency for further development of the Ag plasmonic solar cell technology together with Uppsala university. – This is a great addition to our research capacity at this stage, says Jacinto Sá,...
Self-powered dynamic glass
Window glass with dynamic shading, often called smart windows, can regulate their transparency to improve the indoor environment and reduce energy waste. When the building needs heating, sunlight is allowed to flood into the building; when the building needs cooling,...
