Every surface — on Earth and beyond — absorbs energy that is never captured. NanoHarvestX builds the nanomaterial architecture that changes this, engineered per environment and deployed onto infrastructure that already exists.
SPAL, the Spectral Photon Amplification Layer, is the first deployable architecture from that platform. Solar, space and built infrastructure run on the same core science.
SPAL is surface-agnostic by design and environment-specific by engineering. The same quantum-dot and thin-film science is retuned for the constraints of each environment it deploys into — the terrestrial spectrum, the orbital spectrum, and the thermal load of built infrastructure.
SPAL deploys onto photovoltaic installations that are already in the field — no hardware replacement, no re-qualification, no grid reconfiguration. It manages reflection, spectrum, heat and soiling above a cell the owner already paid for. This is the fastest route to real field data and the first revenue the platform earns.
SPAL-ARIA is the orbital variant: a fully inorganic ALD architecture built from Al₂O₃ and ZnO, tuned to the unfiltered AM0 spectrum. Organic coatings photobleach under UV, degrade under radiation, erode under atomic oxygen and outgas onto optics. Inorganic chemistry is not a preference here — it is the condition of flying at all. The same layer addresses lunar and Martian dust adhesion.
Commercial buildings, industrial facilities and telecom towers represent billions of square metres of thermally active surface, all of it passive. The same materials platform addresses radiative cooling and surface contamination on structures that carry no photovoltaics at all. This is the research track that follows solar, and the route into OEM-level integration.
Two pilots are running: SPAL on installed solar panels, and SPAL-ARIA for orbital and lunar surfaces. Both are funded by us — partners contribute surfaces and specifications, not capital.
