SolarMantle is a passive cooling material that delivers sub‑ambient cooling, reduces thermal stress on the hottest days, and extends the life of cooling systems with zero power.
Reflects 95% of incoming solar heat and emits 93% of absorbed heat as infrared energy, preventing heat buildup on sun‑exposed surfaces, without using power.
Up to 6.3°C sub‑ambient cooling during peak heat, reducing strain on HVAC units, refrigeration systems, and outdoor enclosures.
Applies easily to exterior surfaces and operates continuously with zero power, zero water, and very low maintenance.
Cut roof and exterior heat gain to reduce
cooling load and support more efficient
building operations.
Recognition: SolarMantle was selected as a winner in the U.S. Army XTechSearch 9 competition under the Contested Logistics category.
Validation: A month-long field test showed outdoor structures coated with SolarMantle’s passive cooling material showed reduced cooling energy use, especially on hot, cloudless days.
Support: SolarMantle was selected
by Chevron Studio to advance
scale-up and commercialization,
with approved PR forthcoming.
Backed by NLR: SolarMantle is supported within the DOE ecosystem through NREL’s Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center.
Recognition: SolarMantle is
acknowledged through state
innovation and economic opportunity
programs that support emerging
energy technologies.
About Us
The company brings together experience in materials science, thermal engineering, manufacturing, and system integration, enabling lab‑proven technology to be delivered as a durable, field‑ready cooling solution.
About Us
SolarMantle originated as a materials science program focused on creating passive cooling solutions for extreme heat environments. Early prototypes were validated through defense, industrial, and commercial field testing, demonstrating consistent reductions in surface temperature and cooling load.
About Us
Following successful trials, SolarMantle is now being commercialized through partnerships in manufacturing, scale‑up, and field deployment across data centers, cold chain, defense, and industrial applications.
