The world's first
living solar paint.
A self-healing, self-cleaning photovoltaic coating that turns any surface — EV bodies, rooftops, data centres, facades — into a continuous energy generator. No panels. No structural change. Just paint.
We are seeking founding investment partners to co-develop this world-changing technology from concept to pilot.

The Technology
A breakthrough multi-layer solar coating — inspired by how leaves generate energy — that turns any surface into a photovoltaic generator. Currently at prototype stage, with a clear development roadmap to commercial product.
The Opportunity
A $2.4 trillion global energy transition market. Every EV body, rooftop, data centre, and building facade is a potential energy-generating surface. No existing product does what Chlorocoat™ is designed to do.
The Ask
We are seeking seed-stage investment partners to co-develop this technology with us. We are looking for investors who share our vision of transforming the way the world generates electricity.
One coating. Every surface that faces the sun.
Chlorocoat™ is not limited to vehicles. The same photovoltaic solar coating technology applies to any surface that receives sunlight — from EV bodies to data centre rooftops to entire building envelopes.
30–55+ km
daily range addition
Electric Vehicles
Applied directly to EV body panels, Chlorocoat™ turns every parking spot into a charging station. Biomimetic photovoltaic layers add 30–55+ km of daily range without added weight, drag, or structural modification — seamlessly integrated into the OEM paint process.
Surface Types
5+
EV, rooftop, facade, industrial, infrastructure
Application Method
Spray
Compatible with existing OEM and industrial coating processes
Market Reach
Global
Sun-belt markets: Africa, Middle East, Australia, South Asia
Every surface that faces the sun is an untapped energy asset.
Chlorocoat™ addresses the energy challenge across the full built and mobile environment — transforming EV bodies, building rooftops, data centre roofs, commercial facades, and industrial surfaces into durable, self-maintaining solar coating generators without added weight or structural modification.
Range anxiety remains the #1 barrier to EV adoption globally.
Charging infrastructure is slow and expensive to build, especially in emerging markets.
Existing solar solutions are bulky, rigid, and inefficient on curved or complex surfaces.
Dust, UV, and harsh weather degrade vehicles, rooftops, and building surfaces rapidly in sun-rich regions.
Data centres and commercial buildings spend enormous energy budgets on cooling — with zero passive energy offset from their roof surfaces.
South Africa and sun-belt markets possess world-class solar irradiance across all surface types.
Explosive EV growth demands smart, integrated range extension — without added hardware.
Billions of square metres of rooftop, facade, and vehicle surface sit idle as untapped energy assets.
No current product offers seamless, self-maintaining solar coating applicable across all surfaces at scale.
First-mover advantage in a structurally underserved market spanning automotive, construction, and infrastructure.
"No current solution offers seamless, self-maintaining solar coating applicable across all surface types. Chlorocoat™ represents a first-mover position spanning automotive, construction, and infrastructure — in high-growth, sun-rich markets."
Engineered for performance and longevity.
A multi-layer system that combines advanced light harvesting with a proprietary dual self-healing mechanism and lotus-effect self-cleaning. Designed specifically for complex, curved surfaces and real-world durability.
Four precision layers.
One seamless coating.
Top Protective Layer
Self-cleaning · UV protection · Self-healing
Porous silica · CeO₂ · AR anti-reflective coating · UPy supramolecular networks
Light-Harvesting Layer
Photon capture · Energy conversion
Synthetic porphyrins · Quantum dots
Electron Transport Layer
Charge separation · Carrier mobility
Perovskite nanocrystals
Conductive Electrode Layer

Transparent conductive oxide · Adhesion layer
Biomimetic Design
Inspired by how leaves capture sunlight and repair themselves. Synthetic porphyrins and dynamic polymer networks that heal like living tissue.
Dual Self-Healing
Microcapsule-based healing for immediate surface repair combined with UPy supramolecular networks for long-term structural recovery.
Lotus Self-Cleaning
Nano-structured surface topography causes water and contaminants to bead and roll off, maintaining peak optical efficiency without intervention.
Self-Healing in Action
95%+ healing efficiency — surface integrity restored autonomously
Measurable outcomes across every surface type.
From EV bodies generating daily range to data centre rooftops offsetting cooling costs — Chlorocoat™ delivers real, quantifiable performance wherever it is applied.
Daily EV Range Addition
Target performance · pre-pilot, lab-stage
Self-Healing Efficiency
Target performance · pre-pilot, lab-stage
Target Lifespan
Projected based on current prototype data
Added Weight or Drag
By design — no structural modification required
Extended Daily EV Range
Target: 30–55+ km added daily range per vehicle in high-irradiance conditions (pre-pilot, lab-stage projection).
Building & Roof Energy Offset
Applied to commercial and residential rooftops, Chlorocoat™ generates passive energy at scale — reducing grid dependency without solar panel installation.
Data Centre Cooling Cost Reduction
Data centre rooftops coated with Chlorocoat™ generate energy while the self-cleaning surface reflects heat, contributing to cooling efficiency.
Infrastructure Independence
Reduces reliance on public charging networks and grid infrastructure, directly addressing the primary constraint on EV utilization in emerging markets.
Self-Maintaining Surface
Lotus self-cleaning and dual self-healing mechanisms deliver dramatically lower lifetime maintenance costs across all surface types.
Premium Differentiation
The iridescent green aesthetic creates a visible, premium signal of sustainability — supporting OEM brand positioning, green building certification, and incentive alignment.
