A New Foundation for High-Performance Solar

Centauri's selenium solar technology pathway is focused on advanced absorber-interface and solar-cell architecture concepts. The technology is being developed to support photovoltaic products that excel in terrestrial applications—from premium residential rooftops to utility-scale power plants—while also offering a credible pathway for space-adjacent and LEO power demonstrations.

The selenium pathway is positioned as a differentiated solar-cell and module commercialization program. It supports a product roadmap that includes residential modules, commercial and industrial modules, utility-scale applications, harsh-climate energy systems, microgrids, and potential LEO or space-power demonstration routes.

Technology Heritage

Technology Heritage With Public-Claims Discipline

Centauri's selenium technology pathway includes NASA-origin technology heritage and license context. This heritage supports the company's technology narrative, but it must be communicated accurately. Centauri commercializes its products through its own corporate platform, and product performance must be supported by Centauri validation, third-party testing, manufacturing records, certification status, and approved public claims.

Approved Website Wording: Centauri is advancing a selenium interlayer solar technology pathway connected to NASA-origin technology heritage and technology-transfer context. The technology is being developed through Centauri-controlled commercialization gates for terrestrial, severe-environment, and space-adjacent energy applications.
Required Website Disclaimer: NASA-origin wording is used for technology lineage and technology-transfer context only and does not imply NASA endorsement, sponsorship, certification, procurement, warranty, product approval, investment participation, or government guarantee.

Public Claim Control

Until a specific product rating is supported by test reports, certifications, and approved release language, performance language should be written as "target," "pathway," "under validation," "planned," or "subject to certification."

NASA-Safe Wording:

• NASA-origin technology heritage

• Technology-transfer context

• License context

• Research alignment
