About
Founded in 2016, SolCold is an Israeli climate-tech company that has developed a nanotechnology coating and film that actively cools surfaces when exposed to sunlight. The material uses sunlight and the sky for cooling via Anti-Stokes Fluorescence, a phenomenon where the material absorbs solar radiation and then reflects it at higher wavelengths, losing its own energy and cooling down. The technology is commercially deployed to cool industrial buildings, logistics containers, automotive cabins, and apparel, reducing interior temperatures by up to 7°C and cutting cooling energy expenses by 30%–40%. The company aims to provide environmentally friendly, solar-powered cooling solutions, eventually replacing conventional electricity-powered cooling solutions. SolCold has secured large-scale sales agreements and strategic backing from Amazon's Climate Pledge Fund and Sanyo Trading, transitioning from the lab into a global manufacturing and supply phase. The company has over 20 running pilots around the world as of 2023.
