Sundial Technology, a startup company founded by HKUST Students, has won the Champion in Asian Competition （“协鑫杯”国际大学生绿色能源科技创新创业大赛）in China, outperforming over 200 universities from Singapore, China and Taiwan.
Sundial offers ultimate solution to address the high operation cost of solar cell industry by providing products with an anti-reflection and self-cleaning film that can be easily applied to any glass surface. This product is not only able to maintain reliable performance of photovoltaics over time by reducing reflection and scattering, but also largely reduces chronic maintenance costs of photovoltaic devices. Optimized nanostructures are fabricated on the surface of transparent plastic films. These nanostructures are in the size and geometry comparable to the optical wavelength so that surface reflected light can be significantly reduced. To fulfill the requirement of massive production of film for large scale use, the team has developed a hot-embossing roll-to-roll fabrication method and large-scale nanoimprinting mold fabrication method.
"I am so happy to share this news with everyone in HKUST and I would like to say thank you to HKUST Entrepreneurship Center for the support in these years." says Kwong Hoi TSUI, the founder of Sundial Technology. His team is also the champion of The Sixth Annual HKUST One Million Dollar Entrepreneurship Competition and the awardee of Yeung Wing Yee Entrepreneurs Fund.
