About the project

Author: Pawel Wajss

Heliosphere is a groundbreaking, disruptive innovation designed to enhance indoor lighting by directing natural sunlight precisely where it’s needed. This patented spherical heliostat, powered entirely by solar energy, enables efficient daylight redistribution in homes, offices, and commercial spaces—reducing reliance on artificial lighting and lowering energy consumption.

The device is already in high demand across major U.S. states, including California, Arizona, Texas, and New York, where solar efficiency and sustainability are key concerns. Its scalability allows integration into diverse markets, from smart buildings to eco-friendly urban development projects.

With strong IP protection, and backed by government funding (Operational Program Intelligent Development 2014-2020), Heliosphere aligns perfectly with Silicon Valley’s focus on clean tech and sustainable innovation. It offers significant environmental benefits by reducing carbon footprints while improving health and well-being through increased natural light exposure.
