Innovative concept of solar technology: Catching rays from all directions
Unlike conventional flat solar cells, Sphelar® cell takes on a spherical shape, which makes it capable of power generation with greater efficiency. This tiny solar cell, measuring a mere 1–2 mm across, holds huge potential for smart and green society.
High see-throughness and flexibility in design
For custom design inspiring the next generation of PV applications. There is no hidden side: Both sides generate electricity wherever located is the light source. High transparency from 50 to 80%; Varied shapes from curved surface to pliable sheet.
A Solar Cell Glass Block in which a SPHELAR® Module is enclosed in a transparent glass block. We are developing it as a new building material for designing a unique space with the spherical solar cell SPHELAR®.
Small and compact solar modules for energy harvesting
To crop necessary energy in situ, from non-electric energy in the circumstance: That’s the ‘Energy Harvesting’ (a.k.a. ‘Energy Scavenging’). Here are our compact solar products for the concept, designed as power supplier for sensor devices and smart wireless applications.
Derived from the concept of ‘energy harvest’, this series provides to customers small and compact PV modules. Sphelar Power provides three different ideas for low power applications.
Original design products to enjoy sunlight
Bring solar energy closer to you. Sphelar Power proposes new solar products, news way to enjoy the Sun.
We have developed a filament-shaped solar power generation yarn that generates electricity with sunlight and has excellent flexibility. Using this photovoltaic yarn, it is possible to manufacture textiles that generate electricity.
The development of solar power generation yarn was conducted by industry-academia-government joint research (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, “Strategic Basic Technology Advancement” by Sphelar Power Co., Ltd., Fukui Prefectural Industrial Technology Center.

Our Textile is light, thin, flexible, and stretch. This is suitable for the wearable e-textile power supply.
It is a stylish solar garden light that has the spherical Sphelar solar cell on the top and lights that part with an LED. Electricity is stored in the daytime by sunlight, and it is lit at night with the stored energy. With a stylish design that does not break the landscape, it colors night gardens, parks, and walking paths. Installation is easy as there is no need for electricity bills or wiring work.
Sphelar® modules are hung on trees, and it collects electricity in the daylight, which turns on the LEDs at night, and the Sphelar® module itself lights up. It is a stylish and safe illumination without destroying the landscape of the trees and without damaging the trees during power construction. Installation is easy as there is no need for electricity bills or wiring work.
