Lightweave has emerged as the most cost-efficient supplier of off-the-shelf photovoltaic solar panels, achieving an average solar-cell efficiency of 30% (dropping to 15% after 10 years) for $250 per m².

Lightweave has also partnered with Apogee LLC to develop immense orbital structures to reflect sunlight during the night or during eclipses. 6 ‘Lunetta’ structures, comprised of sodium-coated fabrics stretched over lightweight composite frames, enable ground-based solar power plants to operate all night for $5,000,000,000.
