Soliant Energy, Inc. designs and manufactures concentrating photovoltaic modules for commercial rooftop applications. Our goal is to dramatically reduce the price of solar electricity for consumers and enhance the performance of photovoltaic systems. We do this not by seeking to bring high-risk technologies to market, but by effectively engineering the solar technologies that are available today into a practical solution that allows consumers to begin saving money now.
We are a talented group of engineers, including a core team from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and executives who are dedicated to delivering the full promise of solar energy.
