Kastus

About

Founded in 2014, Kastus is a private headquartered in Ireland with approximately 50-200 employees specializing in Solar.

Kastus is a clean glass technology company founded in 2014 that specializes in photocatalytic and hydrophilic surface treatments. The company's core product is an anti-soiling treatment for solar PV panel cover glass that creates self-cleaning surfaces by attracting water and breaking down organic matter through free radicals. The technology is permanent, lasting the lifetime of the glass, and does not leach into the environment. Beyond solar applications, Kastus technologies also provide antimicrobial coatings that kill up to 99% of bacteria and viruses on glass surfaces, with applications in automotive glass, touch screens, and other surfaces. The company addresses the multibillion-dollar soiling problem in solar installations, which the International Energy Agency estimates caused 3.2 billion in efficiency losses in 2023.
