Pacific Integrated Energy, Inc. is headquartered in San Diego, CA.
Surging AI/data-center electricity demand is overwhelming centralized grid infrastructure, while over half a billion people worldwide still lack grid access and traditional generation is too costly to close that gap.
Pi Energy makes flexible, ultra-thin silicon solar materials that can be installed on most surfaces, including low-weight-bearing roofs, to enable decentralized, localized power generation.
A patented nano-structured absorber layer, laser processing, and a proprietary lean fabrication process let them use low-cost equipment and far fewer precursor materials, producing solar modules that outperform conventional silicon PV while being cheaper and manufacturable locally.
Pi Energy was co-founded by Phil Layton (COO), and the solar technology company has raised capital from retail investors through the equity crowdfunding platform StartEngine.
