Merlin Solar Technologies, the innovative company born from a garage in Silicon Valley, is thrilled to announce a successful funding round, raising an impressive $31 million to accelerate its mission of revolutionizing solar energy deployment. Known for their mantra, “To boldly go where no solar panel has gone before,” Merlin Solar has already proven its mettle by deploying solar panels in some of the planet's most challenging environments—from the depths of Norwegian fjords to the rigors of war zones, and even in space. This latest infusion of capital will enable the company to enhance its game-changing technology further and expand its reach into new markets as they strive to redefine what solar energy can achieve. With over 200 years of combined experience in semiconductor technology, photonics, and automation, the founders have amassed a robust portfolio of more than 50 international patents, firmly positioning Merlin Solar as a leader in the industry. Their lightweight, flexible, and high-efficiency mono-crystalline panels not only meet the demands of traditional uses but also cater to unconventional applications like Class 8 trucks and autonomous drones. By harnessing this new funding, Merlin Solar is set to deepen research and development efforts, strengthen partnerships, and scale production capabilities. The company invites investors, industry partners, and eco-conscious individuals alike to join them in their quest to conquer new horizons and revolutionize the solar energy landscape.
