Sparks, Nevada Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Nativus Inc. has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for innovation in solar energy. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 12061016, titled ‘Solar concentrator’, introduces a compact and efficient way to harness sunlight using lightweight reflective materials and smart tracking.
The solar concentrator improves how solar panels collect and convert sunlight into energy. It uses a series of angled, flexible reflectors that move with the sun to direct more light onto a small photovoltaic surface. This design boosts energy output while reducing the size and cost of traditional panels.
Unlike bulky solar systems, this solution is lightweight and portable. It adapts to different angles of sunlight throughout the day, increasing efficiency without needing large motors or heavy mounts. The design also minimizes shading and heat buildup, making it ideal for rooftop, mobile, or off-grid installations.
Nativus Inc. aims to make clean energy more accessible with technology that performs well and installs easily. The invention supports both residential and commercial use, especially in areas with limited space or inconsistent sunlight.
This patent highlights the company’s focus on practical innovation in renewable power. By capturing more energy from less surface area, Nativus Inc. moves solar technology closer to everyday use and broader adoption.
