Problem
Traditional solar panels often underperform in shaded environments, limiting their effectiveness in locations with partial sunlight or where obstructions block direct sunlight. This inefficiency reduces the potential for solar energy generation in urban areas, greenhouses, and other settings where shade is prevalent.
Solution
Mirai Solar develops photovoltaic solar screens designed to convert blocked sunlight into usable electricity. Their technology utilizes specialized, foldable solar modules that absorb a fraction of the light to generate electricity while transmitting the remaining light. This approach allows for electricity generation in shaded conditions, making it suitable for applications such as greenhouses, carparks, and mobile shipping containers. The Mirai Screen offers variable shading and output power, enabling optimized control of light and energy production for various use cases.
Target Audience
Mirai Solar targets greenhouse operators, carpark developers, and businesses utilizing mobile shipping containers, as well as building integrated solar projects seeking to maximize energy generation in shaded environments.
