Reef IoT and Epishine introduce a CO2 monitor powered by organic indoor solar cells
By capturing energy from indoor lighting, AIR-sense-IQ is an efficient solution for maintaining optimal air quality in workplaces without the need for maintenance
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 are elevated, ensuring optimal air quality and increased comfort and well-being for the user. When mounted on a wall, it maximizes its exposure to indoor lighting, ensuring that it remains powered and operational in all standard office environments.
“We are proud to launch AIR-sense-IQ, a product that not only improves workplace air quality but also operates entirely on indoor light,” says 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 specifically designed to operate in low-light environments, making it an ideal solution for modern workplaces focused on sustainability.
AIR-sense-IQ will be available for purchase in mid-2025.
