OUR STORY

Merlin Solar Technologies, like many of its Silicon Valley compatriots, was founded in a garage. The founders set out to fundamentally rethink the way solar panels were engineered with the goal of ubiquitous deployment. “To boldly go where no solar panel has gone before” remains the mantra of our company, having successfully deployed solar panels in some of the harshest environments. With panels in space, war zones, Norwegian fjords, Class 8 trucks, RVs, disaster recovery vehicles, autonomous ocean going drones, O&G Storage tanks, tensioned fabric canopies – in addition to traditional deployments – we seek to conquer new horizons.

The founders have a combined expertise of over 200 man-years in semiconductor, solar, photonics, flexible displays, and high throughput automation. This combination of expertise has resulted in a portfolio of 50+ international patents & delivered products that are acknowledged to be the best-in-class. Our lightweight, flexible, peel & stick, rugged, and high efficiency mono-crystalline panels are simultaneously incremental and disruptive. Together with our customers & partners, MerlinSolar™ is well on its way to make the world rethink what solar energy is capable of. We hope you will join us in making this mission a reality.
