Epishine’s Organic Indoor Solar Cells Power CO2 Monitor

Reef IoT is excited to announce the official launch of AIR-sense-IQ, a cutting-edge photovoltaic carbon dioxide (CO2) monitor powered by Epishine’s printed solar cells. Developed as part of the ATiP project at Swansea University, AIR-sense-IQ offers an advanced solution for monitoring CO2 levels in indoor environments – without the need for external power sources or battery replacements.

By capturing energy from indoor lighting, AIR-sense-IQ is an efficient solution for maintaining optimal air quality in workspaces without needing maintenance. Reef IoT is currently in the process of spinning out from Swansea University.

AIR-sense-IQ features innovative solar technology that converts indoor light into energy, enabling continuous monitoring without the need for changing batteries or external power. AIR-sense-IQ provides live air quality readings via an advanced CO2 sensor.

The device alerts users when CO2 levels become elevated, ensuring optimal air quality and increased comfort and well-being for the users of the space. When mounted on a wall, it maximizes its exposure to indoor lighting ensuring that it remains powered and operational in all standard office settings.

“We are proud to launch AIR-sense-IQ, a product that not only improves workplace air quality but also operates entirely on indoor light,” said Matt Carnie, co-founder of Reef IoT. “By integrating Epishine’s organic printed solar cells, we’ve created a device that is both highly efficient and environmentally friendly, making it easier for companies to prioritize employee well-being while reducing their energy footprint.”

Powered by Epishine’s flexible and highly efficient organic printed solar cells, AIR-sense-IQ is designed specifically to operate in low-light environments, making it an ideal solution for modern workspaces focused on sustainability.

AIR-sense-IQ will be available for purchase in mid-2025.
