💸 Investment News 💸: Taylor

We are excited to present the latest addition to Rubio’s ‘Champions of Change’: Taylor, a spin-off of the University of Technology Eindhoven, which develops and supplies micro-electronics for the solar panel industry.

These micro-electronics are integrated into the solar panel by the manufacturer leading to less hassle for the end-user. When it comes to the yield there can be a big difference between solar panels, and even between the cells in those panels. Current technologies optimize this at a solar panel level with power optimizers that are installed on your rooftop. Taylor’s cell-level optimization is the next generation of solar panel efficiency. Their technology increases the yield of solar panels significantly which leads to lower cost price of solar power and more solar power per m2; both quintessential to speed up the energy transition.

Tackle the challenge in microelectronics

At Rubio we believe that Taylor can accelerate the transition to solar energy as their technology decreases the cost per kwh of solar energy and increases the production per m2. The combination of this breakthrough technology, a sound business model and worldclass team, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy. Our investment will enable the Taylor team to continue to develop their technology and help more organizations all over the world to tackle the challenge in microelectronics.
