Solar panels usually depend on direct sunlight.
AuREUS doesn’t.
This material captures UV light instead of visible sunlight, which means it can generate power even on cloudy days or in shaded urban environments.
Developed by Filipino inventor Carvey Maigue and recognised by the James Dyson Sustainability Award, AuREUS embeds recycled fruit and vegetable waste into a clear resin. These particles absorb UV rays and redirect them to the edges, where electricity is generated.
What makes this different is where it can be used.
Not just rooftops, but windows, walls, and building facades.
It’s a shift:
from panels → surfaces
from add-ons → architecture
Is AuREUS the future of solar design, or is it still in the experimental phase?
