Pvilion develops a flexible solar power fabric for architectural application

pvilion-.jpg

Integrating advanced solar technology with flexible textiles, U.S. based Pvilion has created an innovative, energy-harnessing material that could eventually be applied to an array of architectural designs. Using photovoltaic (PV) fabrics, Pvilion’s pliable voltaic can be adjusted and re-adjusted to meet optimal sun capture. Currently, the company is focusing on applying the new technology to solar charging stations for battery powered vehicles, and to small to large-scale pavilions for events. via Inhabitat

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
