Red Solar Flower Overview
Red Solar Flower (RSF) is focused on increasing clean energy solutions and food security. The company develops a semi-transparent, non-silicon solar panel that provides a synergetic and profitable dual-use solution. RSF's patented perovskite-based solar panel transfers only the wavelengths required by plants for photosynthesis while utilizing the rest of the spectrum for power generation. Thus, it enables 100% coverage of the growing area while maintaining the light conditions required for plant growth. The company's solution provides the highest possible power production per growing area unit, reduces heat load and water usage, and protects crops against weather hazards such as hail, heavy rain, frost, and sunburn. The panels are about 50% of the cost of comparable silicon-based panels due to the inexpensive and abundant materials, simple manufacturing method, and passive structure with no moving parts. RSF's solution is based on technology and a patent developed in the perovskite solar lab at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Professors Haim Rabinowitch and Liyoz Etkar from the Hebrew University have developed a transparent red solar panel that can be placed over agricultural areas without damaging crops. The development is expected to reduce electricity tariffs, reduce the need for irrigation, and help the country achieve its environmental goals. The solar cell they developed is based on a perovskite crystal produced in a relatively simple process from cheap and available materials. The researchers claim that the development, which has been technologically proven in the laboratory, will reduce the cost of energy per kilowatt-hour in Israel by 75%, while simultaneously reducing farmers expenses and increasing their income.

Israel-made solar energy cells produce power while keeping land farmable
Researchers at Hebrew University of Jerusalem have developed selective solar energy cells that can produce green electricity while allowing agricultural cultivation. The new solar cells, based on perovskite crystals, are designed to cover agricultural areas without interrupting natural habitats or harming the environment. The innovation is expected to reduce the cost of energy in Israel by 75% and exceed the countrys national target for green electricity production. The cells are transparent to the most efficient area of the light spectrum for photosynthesis, while the rest of the light energy is transformed into electricity. The development has the potential to revolutionize solar energy and agricultural production.

game changing solar energy could make worlds gardens grow
Researchers at Hebrew University have developed transparent solar cells made with perovskite crystals that can reduce the cost of energy in Israel by 75%. The solar cells allow the right amount of light for photosynthesis to reach plants while converting the rest into electricity. The cells are expected to be on the market within three to four years. The technology has the potential to revolutionize agriculture and energy production, and it could be used in poorer countries to desalinate water and generate electricity. The transparent cells can cover agricultural areas without blocking sunlight, and they can also be used on bodies of water without harming the ecosystem.
