In conversation with Bates Marshall, co-founder of Ambient Photonics, delving into the firm's purpose to create unlimited power for indoor applications and prevent toxic disposable battery e-waste.
On average, an individual uses eight disposable batteries every year. This might seem like a small number but scale it up to the population levels of the U.S. and that's three billion batteries. With recycling facilities not accessible in all regions, most of these batteries end up in landfills, damaging the environment.
As CEO, he works to transform never-imagined-before ideas into scalable market-transforming products.With countries increasingly building out solar capacity, everybody is focusing on large-capacity cells for solar farms. What made Ambient look for indoor solutions? Ambient is focused on creating unlimited power for indoor applications precisely because the incumbent energy supplies – disposable and rechargeable batteries – have terrible negative externalities. We saw an opportunity to provide a much-needed solution to an overlooked part of the market.Solar cells for smaller devices like calculators have existed for a long time.
In contrast, amorphous silicon cells require a relatively large, fixed footprint to generate sufficient power. While amorphous silicon cells must be connected in series, a single custom-sized Ambient cell can power an entire device, further simplifying product design and improving aesthetics., the highest-performing low-light solar technology, which is commonly used on space satellites. Although, it's cost-prohibitive for mainstream applications.
Since the power density of Ambient’s cells is unmatched in the market, our overarching goal is to facilitate the integration of our cells into end products to drive consumer adoption.Ambient cells can be optimized to harvest energy from the full range of indoor light sources including compact fluorescent , halogen,, incandescent, and diffuse or shaded natural light and tuned to maximize performance within a specific device’s real-world operating conditions.
