EPISHINES WORLD UNIQUE SOLAR CELL PROVIDES POWER INDOORS DOWN AT 2 UW CM²

EPISHINE’S WORLD UNIQUE SOLAR CELL PROVIDES POWER INDOORS DOWN AT ~2 UW/CM²

Now it’s here. Epishine’s ”light cell” can change how we power small electronics – a thin and flexible organic solar cell that can be integrated into sensors, consumer electronics, and other low power devices to reduce or eliminate the need of batteries. We are very proud to have taken the results from more than 25 […]
