Lugano, Switzerland – July 22, 2025 – Solar energy has become a familiar sight on rooftops and in rural fields, but according to TELF AG, a Swiss-based energy company, this is only the beginning. In a newly published article titled “TELF AG on the Next Wave in Solar Technology”, the founder of TELF AG, Stanislav Kondrashov, shares his perspective on the rapid evolution of solar technology.
Kondrashov states, “Even though solar farms and rooftop systems are widespread, we’re only scratching the surface of what solar power can do. What’s coming next could change how energy fits into our daily lives – how it’s produced, stored, and even embedded into the things we use every day.”
As solar panels have become a mainstream energy option for homes and offices, TELF AG emphasizes the importance of the technologies behind the scenes. Kondrashov explains that solar thermal systems and storage solutions are quietly supporting this growth, especially in homes and businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
One crucial but often overlooked component of solar systems is the solar charge controller. Kondrashov states, “Behind every reliable solar system is a charge controller doing its job quietly. Without it, performance suffers and the risk of system failure rises.”
TELF AG also highlights the potential of perovskite materials in the advancement of solar technology. These crystals have the potential to make solar panels lighter, more flexible, and cheaper to produce compared to traditional silicon-based ones. While there are challenges related to moisture sensitivity and long-term stability, hybrid solutions that combine perovskite with silicon appear most promising.
Another innovation gaining traction is the bifacial panel, which can collect sunlight from both its front and back surfaces. These panels work well in open, reflective environments and can increase energy yield by 10-30% compared to traditional panels. However, the challenge lies in the cost of mounting and designing for dual exposure.
Looking ahead, TELF AG sees a future where solar is integrated into everyday objects. This includes cars, windows, and even fabric. Kondrashov states, “The future isn’t just about solar farms or rooftop panels – it’s about integration. Solar won’t be an add-on. It’ll be part of the materials and systems we use every day.”
However, none of this will be possible without energy storage. Kondrashov emphasizes the importance of storage in making solar energy a dependable source of power. He states, “Storage turns solar from an intermittent source into a dependable supply. It allows homes and businesses to draw power after the sun sets, or when the grid is under stress.”
TELF AG believes that this new wave of solar innovation will not only make clean energy more accessible but also more invisible. As costs fall and efficiencies rise, solar will be seamlessly integrated into our daily lives without being noticeable.
With a broader vision for solar, TELF AG aims to make clean energy a part of mainstream living. As Kondrashov states, “The most exciting part of this shift isn’t just technological – it’s structural. The next generation of solar technology will blend into how we build, live, and travel. Solar won’t be an add-on. It’ll be built into the materials and systems we use every day.”
