ActLight SA

Company founded: October 2011

We are developing new “smart” solar cell for portable electronic devices.

Conventional solar-cells, still to this day remain very bulky and perform poorly when used for small electronics solutions is deployed in suboptimal lighting conditions. The startup of co-founders Serguei Okhonin and Fredrik Uddegard, has developed minuscule solar-modules, which thanks to its integration on semiconductor chips, are able to address these problems by enhancing their respective performances by a factor of one-thousand. Potential applications for this product are numerous, e.g. in the context of monitoring the environment, mesure energy consumption or follow personal health status with help of wireless sensors.
