Origami Solar
We are a passionate group of solar veterans, technologists and inventors who are always looking at existing products and processes as inspiration for those innovations that increase functionality, value and dramatically lower costs. You know those ideas that after the fact people say “I can’t believe I didn’t think of that” or “how did it take us so long to change that”! Why can’t the solar module frame cost less and deliver a dramatically lower environmental impact? Innovation has driven cost savings across the entire solar ecosystem, except the module frame! Aluminum module frame costs have not declined over the last 20 years and have a significant environmental impact. Origami Solar intends to reverse the solar industries reliance on aluminum module frames, unlocking dramatic cost savings and reducing environmental impact (GHG) with our innovative and patent pending Folded Frame design for steel module frames. The Origami Solar steel solar module frame delivers lower costs, reduced environmental impact (GHG) and a simplified supply chain to the global PV industry.
