Elevator Pitch
We make solar adoption possible for buildings that cannot support conventional panels by using lightweight photovoltaic solutions that require no civil works. We reduce costs, installation time, and CO₂ emissions, expanding access to clean energy.
Climate Problem
We address CO₂ emissions from buildings, which generate 38% of global emissions. Over 70% of roofs in Colombia cannot support conventional solar panels, limiting clean energy adoption and slowing decarbonization.
Solution
We provide lightweight, flexible solar panels and BIPV solutions that adapt to roofs unsuitable for conventional systems. Our technology avoids costly structural reinforcements, cuts installation time, and enables wider access to clean energy.
Revenue Model
We generate revenue through B2B sales of lightweight solar panels, turnkey solar projects, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). We also earn from distribution, installation, maintenance, and future proprietary solar technologies.
Target Market
The Americas
Social Impact
People of African Descent, Refugees - Asylum-seekers and Internally Displaced People, People Living in Extreme Poverty, Women
Demand Evidence
We validated demand through years of roofing and solar projects. Over 70% of buildings cannot support conventional panels, and our pilots, client pipeline, and partnerships confirm strong market need for lightweight solar solutions.
Competitors
Our main competitors are conventional solar panel providers and EPC installers. Few companies specialize in lightweight BIPV solutions in Colombia, giving us a first-mover advantage in solar architecture and flexible photovoltaics.
