Unlock 5–12%
more power from
every desert
solar panel.
Passive. Retrofit. Install-and-forget.
Born in Dubai for the world's hottest solar farms.
Desert heat
steals 20–25%
of solar output.
Silicon loses ~0.4% power for every 1 °C above STC. Desert middays cost you a quarter of nameplate.
MENA utilities forfeit double-digit billions in annual yield. Compounded by premature replacement.
Spray systems consume scarce desert water, scale the glass, and create a maintenance liability.
Fans, pumps and controllers introduce points of failure that multiply across hundreds of thousands of modules.
BaridShield.
Simple,
passive, powerful.
Roll-formed aluminum cooling strips bond to the back of any panel in under 5 minutes. No power. No water. No maintenance. Ten strips cover the full panel rear, dropping temperatures 5–12 °C — recovering 5–12% of lost output and extending panel life by years.
Ten strips per panel deliver uniform heat dissipation across the module rear — deployment targets new-build, out-of-warranty, and OEM-integrated arrays first.
Finned geometry doubles surface area and channels rising air — zero moving parts, zero input energy. Ultra white ceramic coating.
Automotive-tested VHB bond — 25-year service life, certified for −20 to +120 °C.
Lower operating temperature cuts thermal-cycle fatigue. Panels last years longer. More kWh per $ per panel.
Install in
three steps.
No tools. No wiring. One technician per panel. Commission a 10 MW farm in days, not weeks. Retrofit existing arrays without taking them offline.
Wipe the panel rear with the supplied IPA cloth. One pass removes desert dust and prepares the surface for bond.
Remove the protective liner from each strip to expose the aerospace-grade VHB adhesive beneath.
Align and press each strip into place. Bond is structural within minutes. You are done.
The numbers,
cold and hot.
Thermal-model validated; lab and DEWA field testing next. Modeling projects consistent gains across ambient temperature, panel temperature and net output.
Built for
the world's
hottest farms.
Starting in the UAE — home to Mohammed bin Rashid Solar Park, the world's largest single-site solar installation — then expanding across MENA, India, Australia, and the US Southwest.
In active engagement with DEWA for pilot deployment at Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park — on track to become the world's largest single-site solar park at 8 GW by 2030.
Serviceable hot-climate solar thermal-management market.
Founders with
skin in the sun.
Three decades of combined experience across energy, software and operations. Based in Dubai, building for the world's most demanding climates.
Serial entrepreneur with deep finance, operations, and institutional partnership experience across MENA. Drives investor relations and regional strategy.
Engineered on the ground in Dubai — not a lab curiosity.
Thousands of hours of thermal measurement before a single panel shipped.
The best active system is one that does not need to be active.
Field data beats every deck — and we have both.
A category
of one.
We're raising to complete DEWA validation, run first commercial pilots, and lock in international patents across MENA, India and the Americas.
Global solar capacity is accelerating into the hottest climates on Earth. Every panel installed after 2025 faces the thermal penalty — there is no alternative at this cost and simplicity.
Granted utility model in Brazil, patent pending internationally, native relationships with DEWA and MENA utilities. A simple, manufacturable product — no moonshot required.
A single passive retrofit lifts annual output by mid-single-digit percent and extends panel life — economics that clear first in high-tariff, high-irradiance markets.
Let's cool
