About
Red Solar Flower (RSF) is focused on increasing clean energy solutions and food security. The company develops a semi-transparent, non-silicon solar panel that provides a synergetic and profitable dual-use solution.
RSF's patented perovskite-based solar panel transfers only the wavelengths required by plants for photosynthesis while utilizing the rest of the spectrum for power generation. Thus, it enables 100% coverage of the growing area while maintaining the light conditions required for plant growth.
The company's solution provides the highest possible power production per growing area unit, reduces heat load and water usage, and protects crops against weather hazards such as hail, heavy rain, frost, and sunburn.
The panels are about 50% of the cost of comparable silicon-based panels due to the inexpensive and abundant materials, simple manufacturing method, and passive structure with no moving parts.
RSF's solution is based on technology and a patent developed in the perovskite solar lab at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
