Ambient Photonics is partnering with the world’s largest connected device manufacturers to accelerate their progress toward carbon reduction with our revolutionary clean energy solution. We have developed a first-of-its-kind low light energy harvesting photovoltaic (PV) technology that generates more than three times the power of conventional indoor PV technologies from a broader spectrum of indoor and outdoor ambient light. This chemistry breakthrough enables revolutionary advances in device design, function, performance, sustainability, reliability and consumer experience. Unlike high performance solar photovoltaic technologies of the past, these innovations are cost compatible with today’s mass scale technologies. Ambient employs a novel industrial solar printing technology to coat its proprietary chemistry on thin, durable glass substrates -- producing photovoltaic cells of virtually any size and shape. This flexibility empowers industrial designers, allowing them to embed Ambient’s cells into a variety of product shapes and structures. Ambient enhances manufacturers’ opportunities to align with consumer values that further boost sales and brand loyalty. In an era in which consumers value both cutting-edge connected technology and planet-friendly products, Ambient empowers brands to deliver both. By eliminating battery waste and harvesting energy from everyday light, Ambient’s PV cells reduce the carbon footprint of average IoT devices by an estimated 77 percent. The company’s ambient light-harvested power source also solves the ubiquitous customer pain point of battery life, delivering a maintenance-hassle-free and reliable ownership experience. Ambient is inspiring a new era in connected device form and function -- delivering superior energy density and performance through a solar cell that advances industrial design and production at scale at a price point that makes sense.

Fermata Energy was created for the dual purposes of accelerating the adoption of EVs and accelerating the transition to a renewable energy future. Founded in 2010, Fermata Energy is the nation’s leader in proven V2X systems. We design, supply, and operate pioneering, patented technology that integrates electric vehicles (EVs) with buildings and the electricity grid, turning EVs into valuable storage assets that combat climate change, increase energy resilience, and reduce energy costs. In order for the world to transition to a clean energy economy, abundant energy storage must be deployed quickly and at scale. Fermata Energy’s next-generation bidirectional EV charger and accompanying proprietary software dispatch power from stored energy in EV batteries directly back into the grid or a building, turning EVs into energy storage resources, and — in the process — unlocking and monetizing the massive energy storage potential of EVs. Fermata Energy enables utilities to add more renewable energy to the grid more quickly, and V2G revenue makes clean electric vehicles more cost-effective. Fermata Energy thus offers a solution to two major challenges we face today: the integration of clean, renewable energy and the adoption of clean transportation. Fermata Energy is a 2023 Inc. Best in Business Honoree.
