FOCUS: Energy Efficiency, Generation & Storage
OVERVIEW: Integrates transparent photovoltaic inserts into standard window glass to turn commercial building facades into high-output solar assets
Our ClearPower PV window insert advances zero carbon and zero energy buildings by enabling significant on-site electricity generation from building facades - an underutilized resource in most commercial structures. Our solution integrates a transparent photovoltaic insert within standard insulating glass units (IGUs), allowing buildings to generate clean electricity without altering design, footprint, or usability. With validated output of 120 - 150 W/m2 (NREL), ClearPower can produce meaningful energy at scale, particularly in high-rise and urban buildings where rooftop solar alone is insufficient. Our typical customers are commercial building owners, developers and retrofit projects seeking to meet net zero targets under space and design constraints. In near-term deployments, ClearPower can reduce grid electricity consumption by a significant percentage depending on facade area and orientation, lower peak carbon intensity by displacing grid power, and complement rooftop solar and storage systems to enable 24/7 clean energy strategies. For many buildings, this transforms facades from passive elements into active energy assets, helping bridge the gap between current capabilities and true net zero performance.
Most commercial building cannot achieve net zero because they lack enough space to generate clean energy-especially in dense urban environments where rooftop solar is limited. ClearPower solves this by turning building facades into high-output energy-generating surfaces. Our transparent photovoltaic insert fits inside standard insulating glass units (IGUs), allowing windows to produce meaningful electricity at scale without changing how they look, are manufactured, or are installed. Unlike traditional building-integrated solar, ClearPower does not require new materials, specialized installation, or design compromises. It integrates directly into existing window manufacturing and construction workflows, enabling rapid adoption. With NREL-validated output of 120 - 150 W/m2, and demonstrated real-world installations, ClearPower transforms windows from passive elements into active energy assets, helping buildings generate the clean power they need to reach true net zero.

Stellaris is promising for California
Accelerating Net Zero in Dense Urban Hubs. Many commercial buildings in California’s major cities cannot reach their net-zero targets because they simply lack the rooftop space needed to generate enough solar power. Stellaris solves this by transforming building facades into high-output solar assets, unlocking an underutilized resource in dense environments.
Reducing Grid Reliance & Peak Carbon Intensity. By capturing sunlight across south, east, and west-facing windows, ClearPower enables significant on-site electricity generation. This reduces overall grid consumption, lowers peak carbon intensity by displacing grid power, and complements existing rooftop solar and storage systems to support 24/7 clean energy strategies.
Seamless Integration and Rapid Adoption. It scales rapidly by integrating directly into established window manufacturing and construction workflows, allowing California developers to adopt clean energy without changing a building's architectural aesthetic or footprint.
Strategic Pilot Opportunities in California. It offers California building owners a low-barrier opportunity to pioneer clean technology and showcase meaningful reductions in their building's energy loads.
