About
Solestial develops next-generation silicon photovoltaic technology for space applications. Its breakthrough ultra-thin solar cells can self-cure radiation damage under sunlight at low operating temperatures and are packaged into lightweight, flexible solar modules designed to last up to 10 years in orbit. These solar power modules can be mass-produced using automated processes, making them significantly cheaper than traditional III-V space solar panels. From today’s satellite constellations and research projects to tomorrow’s lunar settlements and space services, Solestial’s technology provides an affordable, scalable solution to power sustained development in space.
