CPTI
CPTI makes a flexible perovskite solar material that turns everyday surfaces — devices, buildings, vehicles — into power generators, harvesting both indoor light and sunlight where rigid silicon panels physically can't work. With ~4x silicon's light absorption, a world-record 27% lab efficiency, and US-domestic manufacturing, it's chasing the device and portable-power beachhead while the perovskite category hits its commercial inflection.
