Photonic Down-Conversion Layer

Turn UV stressinto usable light.

Luminex is an optically-engineered coating applied on the front glass of existing modules. It reduces UV-driven degradation and re-emits part of the high-energy spectrum into wavelengths silicon can convert more efficiently — improving lifetime stability and yield.

Down-conversion via Stokes shift.

Silicon modules convert visible light efficiently, but UV contributes to material stress and long-term browning. Luminex uses a luminescent matrix that absorbs a portion of UV photons (≈300–400nm) and re-emits them at longer wavelengths closer to silicon’s conversion sweet-spot (site-dependent). The result is improved stability and measurable uplift under real conditions.

Engineered properties

A photonic layer designed for real solar assets: durability, transmission, and measurable performance.

optics

Photonic uplift

Converts part of the UV spectrum into longer wavelengths more compatible with silicon conversion (site dependent).

spectral

Wavelength shifting

Designed around Stokes-shift behavior: absorption in UV band, emission in visible band for improved utilization.

surface

Hydrophobic surface

Reduced dust adhesion helps preserve transmission and stabilizes output between cleaning cycles.

Thermal behavior

Lower UV-driven heating at the glass interface can reduce thermal stress and support long-term stability.

Implementation

Upgrading the physics of front glass.

A controlled process designed for field deployment — minimal downtime, consistent finish, repeatable QA.

Tip: We can run a pre-audit to estimate uplift by module type, soiling rate, and tariff.
