NovaSolix
NovaSolix develops advanced rectifying antennas using carbon nanotubes to convert the entire solar spectrum to electricity with high efficiency, aiming to produce solar energy cheaper than fossil fuels.
NovaSolix Technology and Innovation
NovaSolix is pioneering the development of rectifying antennas equipped with carbon nanotube (CNT) technology designed to convert light to electricity from the entire solar spectrum. This innovative approach enables NovaSolix's antennas to match the nano-scale wavelengths of sunlight, offering a significantly higher conversion efficiency of near 90% compared to conventional photovoltaic (PV) cells, which generally achieve around 20% efficiency.
World's Fastest Diode and Advanced Manufacturing
NovaSolix has successfully engineered the world's fastest diode, integral to their energy conversion technology. Utilizing roll-to-roll advanced manufacturing techniques, NovaSolix's products are intended to be the most cost-effective energy solution available. This manufacturing process is aimed at producing solar energy at costs per kWh that are lower than fossil fuels, promising to make renewable energy both more efficient and more affordable.
Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness of NovaSolix's Solar Technology
NovaSolix has developed a self-assembling antenna array solar cell that is estimated to be 2-4 times more efficient than current solar technologies while costing less than one-tenth per watt. The advanced design of these solar cells facilitates a substantial increase in efficiency and cost reduction, positioning NovaSolix's technology as a transformative force in the renewable energy sector.
