Solar botanic company

Who founded Solar Botanic?

Van der Beek—whose previous professional experience was teaching alternative medicine—founded Solar Botanic, Ltd., in London last year on the concept.

Will solar Botanic be able to produce green energy?

Van der Beek concedes Solar Botanic may have to settle for a dark shade of green, but he believes that ever-improving photovoltaics will make energy generation that sacrifices some reflected green wavelengths economical. And it is unclear how much the thermoelectric component of the trees will contribute, Heremans says.

What is solar Botanic's plan?

Solar Botanic's ambitious plan involves bringing together three different energy-generation technologies— photovoltaics (aka solar power, or electricity from visible sunlight), thermoelectrics (electricity from heat) and piezoelectrics (electricity from pressure)—all in the unassuming shape of a leaf on its stem.

How much is solarbotanic's raw charging partnership worth?

SolarBotanic CEO Chris Shelley commented: “This is a very exciting partnership, as we couldn’t ask for a more dynamic growth focussed partner in RAW Charging. This launch program is worth close to £3M, coming less than 6 weeks after we launched the new company. We now have over £25M in our sales pipeline from all over the world since we launched.
