"Every six seconds, in a factory on the northern fringes of Stockholm, a top
secret printer is spewing out sheets worth thousands of euros apiece. Each one
contains 108 miniature solar cells that will soon find their way into everyday
gadgets – from keyboards to headphones – that will fundamentally change how we
interact with technology. According to their creator, they will even force us
to rethink our relationship with light.
Sweden may seem an unlikely location for a solar revolution, but the lack of
light during the winter months was one of the reasons for Exeger co-founder
Giovanni Fili to look beyond the Sun as the sole source of power for a
photovoltaic cell. His company’s breakthrough tech can harvest electricity from
virtually any light source, from direct sunlight to candlelight. It can even
generate a charge from moonlight, though it would take a while for it to be of
much use.
“Like the algae on the bottom of the ocean where it’s almost pitch black, we
can make efficient use of very few photons,” Fili tells
The Independent. The
t-shirt he wears describes his company’s technology as “world-changing”,
capable of simultaneously addressing the global need for energy and some of our
planet’s greatest environmental challenges."
