Power Roll raises >£10m for its game-changing energy technology

In 2011, the inventive mind of Dr John Topping led to the creation of the unique microgroove architecture, marking the beginning of an exciting journey with the filing of the initial patent. The technology was set on a commercial path in 2012 with the founding of the then-named Big Solar. With the injection of significant equity investment in 2014, the concept's realization gained momentum, expanding the team and driving further development of the technology.

The signature microgroove architecture of Power Roll forms the bedrock of its innovative offerings. Comparable to holograms, these microgrooves, measuring just 1-2 microns in width and depth, lay the foundation for all Power Roll's inventions. Crafted to guide and manage energy flow, these 3-dimensional patterns serve as the conductive surface for energy, whether it is harvested solar energy or energy stored in a capacitor.

The versatility of Power Roll's technology architecture lends itself to various applications, from flexible solar photovoltaics (PV) and energy storage in capacitors to sensor films. These applications present global opportunities, aligning with the company's strategic plan to scale and license its technology on an international scale.
