ACE Inventor established its corporate research center on September 22, 2023, following a hydrogel solar-cell technology transfer in June.

Hydrogel electrolyte membranes and nanoparticle coating are central to the company’s research into transparent, flexible solar cells. The research center provided an organizational base for translating university-developed technology into continued device development and product evaluation.

The work connects material properties with module performance and practical requirements for solar applications in buildings.
