4EverAirSense: Smarter Indoor Monitoring Powered by Light

Optimal Monitoring is collaborating with Lightricity to offer customers a new, flexible way to monitor indoor environments: 4EverAirSense. This compact device captures important environmental data, including carbon dioxide (CO₂), temperature, humidity and light levels. It gives organisations greater visibility of conditions across their buildings, helping them identify spaces that may be uncomfortable, poorly ventilated or […]

Powering the watch

Solar for watches

This whitepaper explores how solar power is reshaping watch and wearable design by reducing dependence on battery replacement while supporting greater functionality. It traces the evolution from mechanical and quartz watches to solar-powered and connected timepieces, then explains why higher-efficiency photovoltaic technology is now critical for compact devices with rising power demands. The paper highlights […]

Lightricity advances Deployable Solar Power for Small Satellites

Lightricity has completed a £1.1 million UK Space Agency-funded project with AVS UK Ltd and the University of Leicester to develop a roll-out flexible solar blanket for small satellites.

The prototype combines ultra-thin multi-junction solar cells with a compact deployment mechanism, helping increase power density, extend mission life, and support more capable satellite payloads.
