About

Founded in 2023, Oxhy is a renewable energy company headquartered in Napoli, Italy specializing in Solar, Other.

Oxhy is a Naples-based deeptech company founded in 2023 that develops energy harvesting technologies for distributed energy autonomy. Its core platform, the Oxhycell (oxhydroelectric cell), is a patented device that extracts electric current from water exposed to infrared radiation, based on the oxhydroelectric effect discovered in the context of quantum electrodynamics. The company also develops compact, modular Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems to recover energy from low and medium temperature waste heat, and has built in-house prototyping and testing infrastructure, including CNC machines and a multi-material 3D printer. Its OXHYcube demonstrator targets sensors, IoT and ultra-low-power electronics. In 2025 it opened an operational unit in Ceccano (Lazio) and completed the Smart&Start Italia programme.
