Protecting the Next Generation of Transparent Solar Technologies
Conti’s intellectual property portfolio safeguards the core innovations that make our transparent photovoltaic materials, stackable solar, and intelligence racking systems possible. Developed over years of research and prosecuted globally using accelerated filing strategies, our patents provide global protection across the full architecture of our technology platform.
Transparent Photovoltaics
Conti’s transparent photovoltaic patents protect the materials, device structures, and processes that make fully transparent cadmium telluride (CdTe) based solar possible. These patents cover the semiconductor architecture, contacts, and thin‑film engineering required to integrate power generation directly into glass.
Stackable Solar
Conti’s stackable solar patents focus on multi‑layer photovoltaic configurations that remain mechanically separate and electrically independent, enabling higher power density without the limitations of monolithic tandem devices. These protections cover optical coupling strategies, transparent layers, and device designs that allow multiple absorbers to operate within the same footprint.
Intelligent Racking Systems
Conti's intelligent racking patents cover modular, field-replaceable racking systems with pre-wired module connections, embedded sensors and cloud-based monitoring that track performance at the panel level. These patents apply to standard installations as well as stacked configurations, and cover racking hardware that reduces installation, operations and maintenance costs
