Angel Scale Biotech: Learn More

CEO Ryan Eriksen and CTO Annie Bernard founded Sol Clarity, with the help of Malav Sukhadia, to develop a way to clean solar panels in areas where water is limited. It uses static electricity to remove dust and debris, while lowering the carbon footprint and using minimal energy.

Sponsored by Purdue University entrepreneurship and Peter Fasse, patent attorney at Fish and Richardson.
