Next gen light energy harvesting OPV increases performance for battery-free IoT

Dracula Technologies has announced that the company will present LAYER V2.0 at CES 2026, the next generation of its organic photovoltaic (OPV) technology, delivering a 30% increase in overall performance compared to the previous generation.

Designed to handle the growing demand for more efficient, compact, and sustainable power sources for connected devices, LAYER V2.0 enables higher power output for the same surface area, or equivalent performance from a smaller module footprint. This new generation gives OEMs greater design freedom while reducing size, cost, and reliance on disposable batteries. By delivering greater efficiency, flexibility, adaptability, and aesthetics, OPV modules bring durable and sustainable energy generation to a whole new range of IoT and smart sensor applications across industrial and consumer markets.
