Exeger: Converts all forms of light into electrical energy
Founded by Giovanni Fili, Exeger has developed a unique solar cell technology, Powerfoyle, that can convert all forms of light into electrical power.
With Powerfoyle, the Swedish company aims to address the global need for energy and some of the environmental challenges by supporting existing and new products with power from light.
Exeger says it can be integrated seamlessly into any electronic device.
The Powerfoyle is made up of a completely new type of patented nanomaterial with production entirely carried out in the company’s factory in Stockholm.
The company says the material converts any light to electrical energy in a process ‘inspired by the natural principle of photosynthesis.’
It can be applied to an endless range of areas due to its pliable and flexible nature, says the company.
