Lighter by design
Ultralight membrane ambition compared with conventional glass panels.
ADVANCED MATERIALS / NEW POSSIBILITIESNETHERLANDS · EST. IN FIRST PRINCIPLES
Think beyond
the panel.
Ultralight. Flexible. Designed for a different scale of solar.
FAiM-PV is developing solar membranes that bring power to surfaces conventional panels leave behind. Built on the materials-design expertise of First Principles Ai Materials.
Explore the opportunity01 / PHOTOVOLTAICS FIRSTONE FRAMEWORK. FIVE APPLICATION DIRECTIONS.
01 / THE SOLAR OPPORTUNITY
Less material.
More possibility.
The next step in solar is about more than incremental gains. It is about changing where solar fits—and the economics of putting it there.
Our deposited membrane architecture combines low material consumption, flexibility and a route to continuous roll-to-roll production. We are developing it as a component for the companies that build solar into products and installations.

Lower price
Low material consumption and continuous production underpin the commercial target.
20–40%
More from each surface
Our development range for module efficiency, to be established through testing.
Development targets, not measured product specifications. Weight compares the membrane with a finished glass module; protection, connections and mounting add mass. Price is a target at scale.
02 / BUILT FOR INTEGRATION
Solar goes further
when it weighs less.
LOAD-LIMITED & CURVED SURFACES
Make more of the building envelope.
Low membrane weight opens a development path toward roofs, façades and curved cladding where conventional panels can be difficult to integrate.
DESIGNED FOR
Roofing manufacturers, façade specialists and solar system integrators.
QUALIFICATION FOCUSInstalled weight, attachment, weather resistance and service life.
Potential applications. Each use requires product development, testing and qualification.
03 / THE CAPABILITY BEHIND THE MATERIAL
First principles.
New possibilities.
FAiM develops advanced-material designs from a proprietary physical framework, with AI extending the research and engineering process.
Physical framework
More than twenty years of research, documented across seven books, provides the foundation.
AI-supported design
Research, engineering rules and recorded reasoning guide the development of candidate materials and architectures.
Experimental learning
Fabrication and measurement feed the next design iteration and the dedicated generator under development.
FIVE APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
Photovoltaics / Superconductivity / Permanent magnets / Semiconductors / Batteries
Design-stage programmes awaiting physical validation. Photovoltaics is the first commercial development focus.
04 / FROM DESIGN TO DEMONSTRATOR
A defined programme.
A measurable next step.
An 18-month development programme connects device fabrication, calibrated measurement and the build of a dedicated materials generator.
Establish the baseline
Repeatable device fabrication and calibrated net-power measurements.
Characterise the prototypes
Independent performance measurements, operating-stability data and a generator prototype.
Prepare the path to pilot scale
Larger-area demonstrators, process-transfer results and production-cost modelling.
Planned milestones from funding close. Pilot manufacturing follows the technical and commercial evidence.
