SolCold Overview
SolCold developed a patented nano-technological coating that cools everything under the sun. The material uses the sunlight and the sky for cooling and is most effective when it is very hot and the sun is strongest. The coating can be used to cool cars, buildings, containers, apparel, airplanes, etc. and is expected to bring tremendous savings in cooling and air-conditioning expenses and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. After 3.5 years in the lab, in 2022, SolCold did 25 (all paid) pilots with major companies, such as Volkswagen, Hyundai, Elbit Systems, and the Tel Aviv municipality. Initial results are extremely promising, and negotiations are underway for large sales agreements.

Israeli startup seeks to cool your home using sunlight
SolCold, an Israeli company, is developing a special paint based on nanotechnology that uses sunlight to create a cooling effect. The material absorbs sunlight and then reflects it at higher wavelengths, which lowers the temperature. The company recently raised $3.5 million from the Singapore investment fund Chartered Group and has received previous funding from crowdfunding and the Gad Zeevi group. SolCold aims to demonstrate its product in partnership with vehicle and aviation companies and launch commercial production. The companys vision is for the material to become a standard for vehicle and building roofs, reducing global warming. Other companies, such as Skycoool and Radi-Cool, are also working on similar cooling technologies.

Israeli start-up raises 549,000 USD for cooling material against sun rays
Israeli start-up SolCold has raised $549,000 in a crowdfunding campaign on the Israeli platform ExitValley. The company has developed a nanotechnological coating material that produces a cooling effect under sunlight. The material converts its internal heat into light, resulting in a temperature lower than the ambient temperature. It can be used to cool various objects, including buildings, cars, airplanes, and even spaceships. The technology is 100% green and does not require electricity or moving parts. The funding raised will contribute to the companys growth.

Paint that cools when exposed to sunlight could help us on Earth and in space
CoolSolCold, an Israeli company, has developed a paint that can cool buildings without using electricity. The paint, when applied to roofs, is activated by the sun and works by absorbing and re-emitting heat as light. This innovative technology can actively cool buildings, reducing the need for air conditioning units and saving energy costs. It also has potential applications in space equipment to prevent heating caused by the lack of air. The companys growth prospects are positive as this technology offers energy-efficient solutions for cooling urban centers and space exploration. The article mentions the use of white cooling paint in Los Angeles and a hydrogen fuel-generating paint developed in Australia. The date of the event described in the article is not provided.
