The Autonic Aircap :

The Aircap is a step closer to appreciation of solar energy to our life. It is a window to display green energy application to retail consumers.

The Autonic Aircap is powered by polycrystalline silicon solar module or the PV panel. The PV panel has high efficiency and technology, similar to the one used in satellite and space stations. The PV panels have a long operating life of more than 10 years.
