Kardinia Energy

Printed Solar is fully recyclable and addresses the requirement for energy generation within a circular economy. Following successful commercial-scale trials, the technology is now ready to transition to full scale manufacturing. Printed Solar uses specially developed ink to print energy on ultra-thin, flexible plastic sheet reels which can be rolled out onto flat or curved surfaces. Printed Solar does not contain any of the constituent materials found in traditional PV and is not reliant on the existing supply chain. Weighing just 2% (300 grams per square meter) of traditional silicon PV panels, the transparent lightweight sheets are not limited by the weight-bearing capacity of the roof or wall surface. Approximately 770 million of the world’s inhabitants (10%) do not have access to electricity, and 3 billion people (40%) do not have access to clean fuels for cooking. We believe our technology, with its economic viability and scalability, is perfectly positioned to make a significant social impact on a global scale to help address this fundamental human need, access to energy.
