The document presents a solution for powering the increasing number of connected devices using a new type of transparent solar cell called Peafowl's direct plasmonic solar cell. This technology allows for the integration of self-sufficient, smart building systems without the need for batteries or wiring, thereby enhancing sustainability and efficiency in architecture. It emphasizes the potential for significant energy savings, increased property value, and improved comfort in buildings, advocating for a shift towards smart, energy-efficient urban environments.
Overview may 2020 generic
- 2. THE PROBLEM • Today: 7 billion connected devices • 2022: 25-30 billion connected devices1 • Scaling with power wires or batteries is not feasible
- 3. CURRENT STATUS OF SOLAR CELLS FOR ENERGY HARVESTING Current solutions limited by • Aesthetical compromises • Energy source availability • Unsustainable materials • Unreliable power supply • Manufacturing difficulties WE NEED MORE OPTIONS!
- 4. SOLUTION: DEVELOP A COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT SOLAR CELL Peafowl’s direct plasmonic solar cell – highly transparent photovoltaics THE MODERN FAMILY WANTS TO BE CONNECTED – WITHOUT WIRES OR BATTERIES
- 5. • Truly transparent • Tailored colours • No compromise VALUE PROPOSITION: POWER FOR A TRILLION SMALL DEVICES AESTHETICS SAVINGS FLEXIBILITY RETROFITTING SUSTAINABILITY • Self-sufficient devices • No cabling • No battery changes • Indoor or outdoor • Adaptive to light source • On any smooth surface • Fit into pre- existing buildings and design • Make all buildings smart • Enabler of sustainable, energy saving smart buildings and cities • Sustainable materials and manufacturing
- 6. Cities account for two-thirds of energy consumption and 70% of CO2 emissions globally
- 7. HVAC – heating ventilation & air conditioning account for 51% of the energy use Smart regulation can cut this by 15% No compromise for the tenants: A “smart” building has better temperatures and air quality, and higher comfort and productivity Example: ”The Edge” One of the worlds’ most sustainable buildings, completed in 2015 Extensive sensor system monitoring daylight, ambient temperature, CO2 levels, occupancy, motion This system enables adaptive control of light, heating, ventilation and even cleaning Existing smart building technology could create sustainable cities
- 8. Lack of power solutions is a barrier to implementation The Edge has 30 000 sensors Smart Homes: 2.2 billion wireless devices in 2022 Cable installations are expensive and feasible only for new buildings Batteries rely on cobalt, lithium, nickel – limited resources with fragile supply chains Batteries need changing every 10 years What can be done in one building with battery-driven devices cannot be easily deployed into millions of buildings This will not work with batteries as usual
- 9. PeafowlGlass enables scaling of smart building technology 1m2 can power 8-10 sensors Window glass Picture frame glass Coffee table an ultra-thin solar cell layer is printed on transparent glass or plastic a self-powered smart glass with embedded sensors can be mounted on any smooth surface unlocking the potential of sustainable buildings provides data to optimize the building system
- 10. MAKING BUILDINGS MORE SUSTAINABLE, MORE COMFORTABLE AND MORE PROFITABLE • Increased comfort • Lower energy bills • Aesthetics: Truly transparent, colourless or tailored colours Glass manufacturers Building owners Building renovators Building managers Tenants • Simple manufacture • Added value to exiting products • Access to growing IoT market • Easy to install • Can be retro-fit into any building • Make all buildings smart and open to IoT data • Data gathered improves building efficiency • Automation reduces building management system (BMS) costs • No cabling + no battery changes • Sustainable materials and manufacturing 60% ↑ energy savings 25% ↑ property value 80% ↓ BMS costs €10k saved per year* *cost of battery replacement in standard commercial building with 30,000 sensors ↑ increased productivity ↑ added comfort PeafowlGlass Data to optimize the building system New functionality, new markets IoT data access Tailored solutions
- 11. Enabled by our patented high- transparency solar cell A direct plasmonic solar cell: A completely new mechanism for capturing light with plasmonic nanoparticles Contains no toxic or rare materials that inhibit deployment or scaling Works for both indoor and outdoor light conditions
- 12. Prototype, STC: 0.7 V 20 μA/cm2 (0.2 mA/m2) 90+% transparency TECHNOLOGY • Direct plasmonic solar cell – a new patented technology • 10x higher light absorption than other known materials • One photon generates multiple electrons • Extreme absorption enables high transparency – can also be tinted • No rare earth or toxic materials • Printing technology makes manufacturing low-cost, low-energy and flexible for all surfaces – meaning it can be applied on glass, plastic, flexible polymers etc • Works in-door and outdoor • Can use the whole light spectrum, or tuned to specific wave lengths
- 13. TUNABLE INK Multi-colour configurable applications, including very high transparency Each colour represents a shape of the nano- particle and a spectrum of light absorbed
