Industry Leading Performance To Unlock the Next Generation of Solar

Active Surfaces leverages MIT-developed technology refined over a decade that has been proven in the lab and tested in the field. Our industry-leading perovskite solar cells have been designed for manufacturing using commodity materials without sacrificing performance. The process is low‑temperature, automated, and low‑labor, enabling fast iteration, high yield, and exceptional capital efficiency compared with conventional silicon. The result: a do anything solar panel that can be made locally without tradeoffs.

Proven Technology

Backed by a decade of MIT research, our solar cells are proven durable in high heat, high humidity and real world conditions.

Best-in-Class Performance

>25% efficiency at 1/20th the weight. Faster installs with better solar yield than today's best in class technology.

Cost-Competitive Power

Proven high speed roll to roll manufacturing is uniquely capital efficient and domestically source-able with no additional costs.

Solar Yesterday: Silicon

The old standard is showing its limits

Today’s mainstream solar — silicon — is heavy, rigid, and near its efficiency ceiling.

>35 kg per panel, packaged in glass and aluminum
Installed with costly labor and heavy racking
Manufacturing cost floors have been reached
Manufacturing is centralized overseas and almost all panels are imported

Solar Tomorrow: Perovskite

A lighter, smarter, more adaptable solar

Perovskites are a breakthrough solar material with a unique crystal structure (ABX₃) that can be made into ultra-thin, flexible films - tailor made for any application.

They promise:

Higher efficiency potential than silicon
Better low-light and off-angle performance
Lower-cost, domestic-friendly manufacturing
Minimal raw material usage / no rare earth materials

We are at the tipping point for perovskites

After decades of R&D, perovskite solar is moving from lab to market. Advances in manufacturing now make it possible to scale this technology to gigawatt levels — unlocking solar for places silicon can’t go - and meeting the >20 terawatts of new solar growth over the next 25 years.
