ML System with a new patent in the field of Nanotechnology

The Patent Office of the Republic of Poland has granted ML System a patent for an invention concerning the method of manufacturing a laminar, layered photovoltaic panel, as well as the panel itself made using this method.

– Securing patent protection for this solution strengthens ML System’s position in the BIPV area and supports the further development of our product offer. The patent will facilitate the implementation of nanotechnology-based solutions that increase the efficiency and durability of products, as well as their resistance to environmental factors, while maintaining high quality standards. The technology also enables better adaptation of products to aesthetic needs, including through the personalization of texture, color, and shape. This solution also has potential for application in special-purpose products. The Military Institute of Engineer Technology in Wrocław has issued a certificate confirming the attenuation of radar waves in specific ranges for the patented invention,” emphasizes Dawid Cycoń, Vice President of ML System.

The granted patent covers both the new technology for manufacturing laminar photovoltaic systems and the products created using it. The technology can be used, among other things, for the production of layered laminates applied in the construction and automotive industries, such as facade coverings, photovoltaic roof tiles, cladding, and vehicle roofs. It can also find application in military vehicles. An important feature of the solution is its high resistance to external conditions, including temperature, humidity, chemicals, and biological factors. The technology is the result of research on the application of nanomaterials, in particular titanium nanotubes as a waveguide system for electromagnetic waves – so-called “quantum wells” – and on the implementation of layer growth technology in industrial processes.

The patent has been additionally validated in Austria, Germany, and Romania. Validation means the formal recognition of the patent in selected jurisdictions, making it legally effective there – this process has already been completed. Concurrently, work is underway to obtain patent protection for this solution in the United States.
