We believe our heat-activated materials could offer a passive way to manage that heat, engaging only when temperatures climb and staying clear the rest of the time.
Where we see the potential
Heat management
Shading that could come on as surface temperature rises.
Passive
No power, and no tracking hardware to add.
Only when needed
Only active in peak heat.
Adaptable
The switching temperature could be matched to the panel type.
No moving parts
Nothing that would need servicing.
Let’s manage that heat.
