PowerLight's optical power technology delivers electric power where and when needed.
About us
Since our foundation 15 years ago as LaserMotive, PowerLight has set three world records for beaming power over light, won two NASA government awards and advanced five generations of technology systems. We are the first and only team to develop and viable technology platform that demonstrated transfer of 400 watts over 1 kilometer. Since then we have received validation from industry-leading companies and government labs, and we are the globally recognized leader in long-distance power beaming.

What a cool technology from a fellow HAPS Alliance member, Aerostar (Aerostar International LLC), to help fight wildfires. Great work!
HAPS technology can be a game changer for a variety of industries. Check out this recent example from Idaho where Aerostar (Aerostar International LLC)'s high altitude balloons are being used to help fight wildfires.

Check out Mike Hartnett's (PowerLight's VP of of Business Development) call out in the most recent POLITICO Pro newsletter following his recent presentation at the National Defense Industrial Association - (NDIA) Emerging Technologies for Defense Conference. U.S. Central Command’s Gen. Michael Kurilla said it best in a February memo (https://lnkd.in/gsiR9T6r), “Wireless power beaming is a capability we want to see exploited to our advantage and represents a fundamental breaking of the chain of fossil fuel dependency.” Read the whole newsletters and more like it at POLITICO: https://lnkd.in/gzPQhdee

HAPS technology is here and offers many advantages. Thanks to HAPS Alliance for this graphic and simple breakdown of the benefits of this technology.
The stratosphere is full of competitive advantages -- ones that HAPS technologies leverage to expand connectivity, improve our view of the world and much more. Here are seven advantages of harnessing the stratosphere with HAPS: 🌍 Expanded Global Connectivity: Operating in the stratosphere, HAPS platforms provide coverage over land and sea, reaching regions that are difficult to access with traditional terrestrial infrastructure. ⛈ Rapid Deployment: HAPS platforms’ quick and easy deployments make them ideal for situations demanding immediate communications, such as emergency response, defense and disaster recovery. 💰 Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to building and maintaining ground-based infrastructure, deploying HAPS platforms can be more cost-effective, especially in remote areas where laying cables or building towers is impractical or expensive. ☀ Versatility: HAPS platforms can support a wide range of applications beyond internet connectivity, including earth observation, environmental monitoring, weather forecasting, defense and disaster management. 🍃 Environmental Benefits: HAPS platforms can be powered by renewable energy sources such as solar power, minimizing their environmental impact and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. 🏗 Scalability: HAPS platforms can efficiently cover large geographic areas, making them suitable for both rural and urban environments. They have the ability to scale their coverage to meet varying demands, by adding more HAPS to cover a larger geographic area. 🏙 Flexibility: HAPS platforms offer flexible deployment and repositioning capabilities to address changing needs. This flexibility enables them to respond dynamically to shifting population patterns, emergencies, or events.
