Sydsol creates ultra‑thin, transparent solar films that can be applied to existing windows like a sticker, turning glass façades into continuous power generators. The chalcogenide‑based, bifacial films harvest both outdoor sunlight and indoor ambient light, delivering up to 1.5 MWh per 5,500 m² daily without rare‑earth materials or structural supports, making them ideal for commercial real‑estate and high‑rise buildings.

Problem
Conventional solar installations require bulky panels, heavy mounting structures, and dedicated roof space, limiting the ability to generate clean energy on existing building façades and windows. This restricts the integration of renewable power into dense urban environments where roof area is scarce.
Solution
Sydsol develops ultra-thin, ultra-light see‑through solar films that can be retrofitted onto existing windows like a sticker, turning transparent surfaces into power generators. The chalcogenide‑based films are bifacial, harvesting sunlight from the exterior and ambient indoor light at night, providing continuous electricity without altering building aesthetics. Energy production is comparable to a small power plant, delivering up to 1.5 MWh per day per 5,500 m² of installed area and offsetting over one tonne of CO₂ daily. The technology requires no rare earth materials or heavy frames, enabling seamless integration into new and existing architecture.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial real‑estate developers, office building owners, and architects seeking to embed renewable energy generation into façades and windows of high‑rise and urban structures.
