Overview

Panzo is an innovative renewable energy solution that integrates solar and piezoelectric technologies to generate electricity from both sunlight and rainfall—addressing the limitations of conventional solar panels in tropical, high-precipitation regions like Indonesia. Designed with real-world feasibility in mind, Panzo combines durable engineering, validated field installations, and a digital monitoring platform to optimize energy production for residential and government users. With a focus on sustainability, affordability, and adaptability, Panzo aims to revolutionize clean energy access in underserved and climate-challenged areas.

Key Features

  • Dual-Energy Generation: Combines photovoltaic (solar) and piezoelectric systems to generate power from both sunlight and raindrops—ideal for tropical, high-rainfall regions.

  • Real-Time Monitoring: Integrated with the Panzo App (in development) for live performance tracking, energy output analysis, and system diagnostics.

  • Modular Installation Options: Offers scalable packages (PanzoReg & PanzoMega) to suit different needs from households to government and commercial facilities.

  • High Durability Materials: Improved build with weather-resistant materials and re-engineered piezoelectric placement for longer lifespan and stable output.

  • Validated Field Performance: Successfully piloted across multiple locations in Indonesia with tested outputs of 97–188 Wh during rain.

Mission

Panzo’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of sustainable energy in tropical regions by providing innovative, adaptive, and accessible technology that harnesses both sunlight and rainfall. We are committed to addressing the limitations of conventional solar systems through integrated solutions that empower communities, reduce carbon footprints, and promote energy independence—driving a cleaner, more resilient future for all.

Impact

Panzo creates tangible impact by expanding renewable energy access to regions with high rainfall, enabling consistent power generation regardless of weather conditions. By combining solar and piezoelectric technologies, Panzo helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels, lower electricity costs for households and institutions, and support Indonesia’s transition toward cleaner energy. Its innovation not only addresses technical barriers but also empowers communities through sustainable, climate-resilient solutions that contribute to long-term environmental and economic benefits.
