The Case for Solar VIA™
 Climate change is mostly driven by the
release of greenhouse gases (GHG).
 CO2 is the largest culprit.
 Solar energy helps to offset the impact of
climate change by zero Carbon footprint
electricity generation.
 Although traditional solar is a zero cost fuel
source and is useful on idle rooftop space, it
requires subsidies to be cost competitive.
 510nano’s Solar VIA™ is a unique solar
module that generates electricity from
visible light and infrared radiation without
the need for subsidy.
