Adaptive micro-solar technology inspired by nature's most efficient energy hunter
HelioSkin wraps around vehicle wheels and surfaces, using micro-adjustment technology inspired by the platypus's electroreceptive bill to constantly reposition thousands of micro-solar cells for maximum energy capture while vehicles are in motion. Finally, solve the massive inefficiency of static solar panels on moving vehicles.
A delivery driver watches their phone screen as the HelioSkin app shows their battery percentage rising in real-time while driving through a cloudy parking garage—the skin has automatically rotated every micro-cell to catch scattered light beams, adding 15 miles of range during a 20-minute delivery route that would have otherwise drained their battery.
