Between applying for SBIR support and that contract being acitivated, firm appears to have chnaged its name from Asoleyo LLC to Asoleyo Solar LLC - offering ecorative solar cells and panels for high-visibility installations. Asoleyo Architectural Solar is discussed as applying the artistic principles of symmetry, rhythm, and line to the design of solar cells' metallic silver electrical contacts, transforming their utilitarian rectangular grid into something of beauty. The firm's decorative solar cells can be combined and rotated to form large-scale patterns -- similar to ceramic tile - and can be manufactured using existing equipment, processes, and materials. This approach permits and enables creation of solar panels and arrays that compliment architecture and landscape design ... allowing clients attarctively to showcase their renewable energy initiatives. The firm's architectural solar panels also open new market opportunities to solar power, by enabling significant photovoltaic installations in highly-curated, high-visibility areas by making solar panels a desirable visual feature of designed outdoor spaces: plazas, parks, and building facades.
