Energy is radiated onto all surfaces of a building during every moment of daylight. Only a fraction of it is harvested by conventional solar systems. SolarEmpower have devoted the past decade to developing and combining technologies that reap the full benefit of the sun's energy in the form of cool light, electricity and heat.
This unique approach makes cost equivalence with fossil fuels achievable now - even without subsidies.
These innovations are not hypothetical; some are already in commercial production, others are in advanced development.

In nature, skin is a vital organ not just a protective barrier. Our technology mimics nature by converting the envelope of a building from something inert that simply excludes the immediate environment to something dynamic that cooperates with it, transforming the force of the elements into an abundant resource. It does this as well as protecting the interior with shade, filtering out glare and the harmful effects of sunlight.
