What is Icarus RT?
Founded in 2016, Icarus RT is dedicated to revolutionizing solar energy by developing a hybrid solar thermal PV system. This proprietary technology aims to capture and store waste heat generated by solar panels, thereby increasing power output and enabling energy generation even after sunset. The system significantly boosts efficiency beyond the typical 21% conversion rate of current solar technology, leading to improved panel longevity, higher power density per square foot, and reduced costs for solar-plus-storage solutions.
