To provide the agricultural industry with a clean source of renewable energy and sustainable technologies that are symbiotic with optimized growing practices.Innovation

The unfolding of this technology has involved the innovation of scientists with drastically varied expertise. With collaboration between UC Santa Cruz, NASA, all types of growers, and Silicon Valley, this project continues to be an inspiring manifestation of teamwork driven by a shared vision of how we can work together to shift our energy uses from fossil fuel to clean, renewable resources that support a sustainable future.

History

The development of wavelength selective photovoltaics (WSPV) was born in the renewable energy Physics Research Laboratory of Professor Sue A. Carter at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Research

The research question was clear: How can we create a material that has neutral effects on plants, while generating enough power to make it economically interesting? In developing the technology, we sought to create a product with the highest efficiency and most attractive design with the additional central necessity of optimal plant growth. This sparked collaboration with plant physiologists and greenhouse growers as our first plant growth trial, run primarily by Physicists, made our need for varied expertise especially clear.
