Morgan Solar Inc.
We’ve developed the revolutionary Sun Simba Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) module and Savanna dual-axis tracker - two solar energy technologies that fundamentally change the economics of solar power. Our goal is to enable grid parity solar energy production without subsidies. Our next generation Sun Simba CPV module is the first to concentrate sunlight in a planar direction, enabling an ultra-thin module that generates industry-leading energy yields, at unprecedented low costs. We`ve also reinvented the way solar energy is deployed with the foundationless Savanna tracker, a human-scale tracking system set up and serviced manually with simple hand tools – no concrete foundations to pour, and no cranes or other heavy lifting equipment required. Our technologies offer higher yields, higher capacity factors and higher returns to project owners, all while reducing the technical complexity of solar installations. Better solar energy starts today with Morgan Solar.

About us
Morgan Solar is a technology company founded in 2007 with the goal of making unsubsidized solar energy competitive with traditional sources of generation. In this pursuit, we’ve pioneered an entirely new approach to the design and manufacture of solar modules and Balance of System (BOS) components. The result is market-disruptive products that will lead the industry in efficiency, durability, and low cost.
Our flagship product is the Sun Simba™, a product that represents a new category of solar panel. Sun Simba™ replaces the silicon solar cells of conventional solar panels with advanced optics for capturing sunlight and extremely efficient, multi-junction solar cells for converting that sunlight to electricity. This allows us to create a solar panel that is greater than 30% efficient – with a roadmap to over 40% efficient – compared to 15-16% efficiency for regular solar panels. Additionally, Sun Simba™ will be a fraction of the cost of conventional solar panels.
We have also invented a new kind of solar tracker, Savanna™, a foundation-free solar technology that can be set up in the field in minutes with only semi-skilled manual labour. Removing a concrete foundation simplifies setup of a solar farm, and Savanna requires no heavy machinery and no civil construction to install. When Savanna is combined with Sun Simba it will provide the highest energy yields, in terms of kilowatt-hours per acre, of any solar technology on the market. Savanna is currently being sold around the world, and we have customers in Japan, India, USA, Mexico, Spain and Canada using Savanna trackers with conventional solar panels. Savanna is already being produced and installed at utility scale, and provides customers with boosts of up to 40% in terms of energy yields for solar farms.
We have a number of other patent-pending solar PV and illumination technologies in the pipeline, all combining highly innovative non-imaging optics and advanced engineering designs with established manufacturing processes, many borrowed from decades of cost reductions in the automotive sector.
Our Mission
To make solar energy the most widely used and affordable power source in the world.
Our Vision
To develop and take to market new high concentration solar photovoltaic technologies that achieve unprecedented price and performance levels.
Our Values
- We believe it’s possible to be an ethical, socially responsible, and environmentally-friendly organization without forgoing profitability.
- We believe the people of this planet don’t need to forgo their quality of life to implement environmentally responsible, sustainable development solutions.
- The time to invent and implement these solutions is now. The world cannot afford to wait for these new technologies.
- We believe in fostering a climate of collaboration, cooperation, and in a community-driven approach to solving problems and creating opportunities.
Our Objectives
- To demonstrate that solar power is no longer an “alternative” energy, but instead that it’s the energy for the future and for today.
- To continually innovate and introduce major breakthroughs in solar energy.
- To offer the most attractive return on investment to all stakeholders – our customers, our partners and suppliers, our employees, and our shareholders.
- To benefit the environment and society at large by delivering clean energy.
