"To meet the dual challenge of harnessing renewable energy sources and renewing the power generation and supply system, a twofold strategy is needed: increasing energy efficiency, and rapid growth in the use of renewable energies. NLV Solar AG is working on both fronts, using digital prototyping to develop improved photovoltaic cells as well as devices that are more energy efficient."

Pyradian

The Quant has a unique propulsion system which makes optimum use of NLV Solar's groundbreaking, proprietary technology in the fields of photovoltaics and accumulators. The high-efficiency Pyradian solar cell is applied as an invisible thin-film coating to the entire body of the vehicle, including the glazing.

• Thin Film Solar >
  The Pyradian solar cell - NLV Solar AG has developed an iron-sulphur composite semiconductor using digital prototyping, with very promising results. The research indicates unique properties which include an average photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 38% and a peak performance of over 50%. As a multilayer thin-film cell the material could be applied to substrates in a transparent or tinted coating. (NLV Solar; March 12, 2009)
