Maturity stage TRL 6 / 7 - Prototype demonstration 1:1

Power Roll designs and manufactures lightweight, flexible photovoltaic (PV) film that can be applied to surfaces where conventional solar panels are impractical due to weight constraints. Utilizing its patented microgroove architecture, Power Roll eliminates the need for Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) and avoids the use of Critical Raw Materials. The film is produced using cost-effective roll-to-roll manufacturing techniques, commonly employed in other industries, making it an innovative and scalable solution for next-generation solar energy.

The Environmental Benefits

  • Power Roll is light enough to be placed on weak and non-load bearing rooftops (like warehouses) where normal solar panels are too heavy to go
  • Power Roll uses a unique patented architecture unlike any other solar panel reducing the need for expensive components
  • Power Roll uses no critical raw materials
  • Power Roll produces over 2 times less green house gases than normal silicon solar panels during manufacturing
  • Power Roll generates clean energy from the sun

The Financial Benefits

  • Power Roll has the potential to generate electricity cheaper than the grid
  • Less capital intensive than other PV modules
  • Provides a payback time of between 2-4 years
  • Power Roll provides an IRR of 25-51%
