Ubiquitous Energy is a Redwood City, California company that produces UE Power™, a patented transparent solar photovoltaic glass coating that generates electricity while maintaining visible transparency. The company’s technology is intended for architectural glass to provide on-board power, smart functionality, or to offset building energy consumption. Ubiquitous Energy has completed multiple installations, including projects with ENEOS and NSG in Japan, an installation in Colorado, and a Michigan State University deployment. The company is directing resources toward research and development, manufacturing, and product deployment as it ramps toward commercialization. It has begun site selection for its first high-volume manufacturing line in the U.S. and claims broad adoption of its technology could offset up to an estimated 10% of global CO2 emissions from buildings. Founded in 2011 by scientists and engineers from MIT and MSU, the company has raised capital to support its commercialization plans. Ubiquitous Energy is a leader in transparent photovoltaics, commercializing its UE Power™ technology — a thin, truly transparent solar coating that harvests solar energy and serves as an invisible onboard electricity source for windows and other surfaces. The coating can be applied to window glass to provide electricity generation and energy efficiency without altering visible appearance. The company was originally spun out of MIT and is producing its highly transparent solar cells and windows in a production facility in Silicon Valley. Ubiquitous Energy plans to bring its UE Power window products to market in the U.S. and internationally and is advancing go-to-market and production efforts. The company emphasizes integrating solar technology into everyday products to reduce carbon footprint without aesthetic compromise. Its recent strategic investment from ENEOS is intended to support these commercialization and production activities.
