Intelligent soiling detection and cleaning optimisation for photovoltaic assets.
Ray Sense Technologies was founded in 2026 to commercialise photovoltaic measurement technologies developed within the NOA group at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL). Our first product is a portable sensor for quantifying soiling losses in photovoltaic modules, designed to provide accurate on-site data that supports better operation and maintenance of solar installations.
Mission
To transform advanced optical and photovoltaic research into reliable products that improve the efficiency, resilience and sustainability of solar energy systems around the world.
Vision
To continuously deliver new, high-impact measurement and optical solutions that enhance the performance, reliability and adoption of photovoltaic energy worldwide.
Values
We are committed to contributing meaningfully to the global transition to renewable energy, and to ensuring that every solution we deliver meets the highest standards of accuracy, reliability and trustworthiness.
We combine an innovative portable sensor with decision software to turn cleaning from a routine cost into a data-driven investment.
Cleaning becomes a financial decision, not a guess.
