From Banknotes To Renewable Energy: Lumenco Boosts Efficiency Of Solar Panels 35% Using Anti-Counterfeiting Science


(MENAFN- EIN Presswire)

Cold Fusion, Revolutionary Solar Technology from Lumenco

Lumenco seeks $3 million funding to commercialize Cold Fusion™ solar tech, which dramatically boosts panel performance at an est. cost of only $3.00 per panel

ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, August 22, 2022 /EINPresswire.com / -- Lumenco, LLC ( ), a global pioneer in light science technologies, announced today the development of its patent-pending Cold Fusion™ nano technology film. Integration of the film into solar panels increases panel efficiencies up to 35% and decreases the temperatures of panels by more than 50° Fahrenheit. The technology costs less than $0.30 per watt when integrated into new panels and less than $1.00 per watt when retrofitting existing panels.

Mark Raymond, CEO of Lumenco and primary inventor pointed to the fact that often an invention or discovery in one area leads to something more significant in another unrelated field. The Cold Fusion™ technology has its foundation in $20 million of research in the banknote anti-counterfeiting space, an industry in which Lumenco is internationally known.“Our core competency is micro-optics and microstructures.” Raymond explained,“In this case, we had a particular goal in mind of creating a film that reflected nearly all the unwanted IR or infrared wavelengths while allowing the visible light to be absorbed in the photovoltaic panel. What we have achieved is a safe, highly efficient, low-cost solar energy solution that will allow communities to significantly reduce their reliance on gas and coal.”

How it works

The Cold Fusion™ technology reflects 85-90% of the IR or heat, while allowing over 90% of the visible light to be“trapped” to create energy and lets the panel operate efficiently at a much lower temperature thereby increasing efficiency. The film has nano holes surrounded by encapsulated aluminum allowing wavelengths of 950 nanometers or smaller to enter the absorber while the longer wavelengths are reflected. Other unique microstructures help trap the visible light using TIR or total internal reflection. The film can be integrated into new panels and can also be designed to retrofit existing panels.

The technology is expected to have verified third-party data results in 2023 and launched into production in late 2023. Lumenco is currently raising $3 million in a convertible debt private placement to commercialize this and other technologies providing a multibillion-dollar opportunity for potential investors.
