Who We Are
Nano-Scale Technologies Planet-Scale Solutions
We specialize in innovative nano-scale coating solutions that enhance performance, durability, and efficiency across a wide range of industries including solar, automotive, architectural, and aerospace. We believe nano-scale technologies can deliver planet-scale solutions.
More than three percent of the world’s solar power comes from a tiny stack of silica nano-particles 1/1000th the thickness of a piece of paper. This tiny coating plays a critical role to reduce reflections and capture more of the sun’s energy. At Pellucere Technologies, we understand that big solutions often come in very tiny packages. We specialize in innovative nano-scale coating solutions that enhance performance, durability, and efficiency across a wide range of industries from solar to automotive to architectural to aerospace. At Pellucere, we believe nano-scale technologies can deliver planet-scale solutions.
Company History
Pellucere Technologies is a combination of talents and technologies from two university research spin-outs, WattGlass at the University of Arkansas and CSD Nano at Oregon State University, along with the technology and capabilities developed over more than twenty years by the scientists at ETC in Deggendorf, Germany. In 2018, leading Silicon Valley venture capital firm Energy Innovation Capital provided growth capital to form Pellucere Technologies and commercialize the university research. Pellucere is now the world’s leading provider of retrofit solar coatings and offers a wide variety of technical coating solutions.
Meaning of “Pellucere”
Pellucere (pronounced “pel-oo-seer”) is derived from the Latin word pellūcēre, meaning “to shine through.”
The name not only points to our expertise in optical and anti-soiling coatings, but also speaks to a company philosophy. At Pellucere Technologies we believe research and innovation can help us see more clearly and develop solutions that shine through.
The Meaning Behind
“Pellucere”
Pellucere (pronounced “pel-oo-seer”) is derived from the Latin word pellūcēre, meaning “to shine through.”
Just as light effortlessly passes through a clear surface, our nano-engineered coatings enhance transparency and optimize the performance of materials across industries. By enabling light to transmit more efficiently, we empower solar panels to generate more energy, LEDs to shine brighter, and critical surfaces to remain clear and functional.
The name Pellucere means more than just light transmission. It also represents our commitment to transparent communications, ethical practices, and working hand-in-hand with our partners to achieve shared goals.
