Patents
Protecting the Next Generation of Transparent Solar Technologies
Enkara’s intellectual property portfolio safeguards the core innovations that make our transparent photovoltaic materials, optical coatings, and system‑level technologies possible. Developed over years of research and prosecuted globally using accelerated filing strategies, our patents provide global protection across the full architecture of our technology platform.
Transparent Photovoltaics
Enkara’s transparent photovoltaic patents protect the materials, device structures, and processes that make fully transparent CdTe‑based solar possible. These filings cover the semiconductor architecture, contacts, and thin‑film engineering required to integrate power generation directly into glass.
Stackable Solar Architectures
Our stackable solar patents focus on multi‑layer photovoltaic configurations that remain mechanically separate and electrically independent, enabling higher power density without the limitations of monolithic tandem devices. These protections cover optical coupling strategies, transparent layers, and device designs that allow multiple absorbers to operate within the same footprint.
Advanced Optical Coatings
The optical coating portfolio includes patents for nano‑structured surfaces that reduce reflection and increase light transmission across a wide range of angles. These innovations support both transparent photovoltaic materials and high‑performance architectural and optical glass applications.
