About
Next Energy Technologies manufactures transparent solar energy harvesting coatings using proprietary soluble small molecule organic photovoltaic technology. The company develops organic semiconducting inks that are printed or coated onto glass surfaces to create transparent solar cells that are lightweight and flexible. These coatings transform standard windows and glass panes into energy-generating surfaces without compromising transparency. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Santa Barbara, United States, Next Energy Technologies has raised approximately $38.9M in Series C funding from investors including Blue Square, GEAR Innovation Network, Viracon, Rincon Partners, the State of California, DOE, and the National Science Foundation. The company's technology enables building-integrated photovoltaics, allowing commercial buildings to generate renewable energy directly from their existing window surfaces, reducing reliance on external power sources and supporting net-zero building goals.
