Janta Power has introduced a new design for solar installations, the 3D solar towers, which proposes a vertical, modular and high-density energy infrastructure, especially designed for spaces where land is scarce.
The scope of 3D solar towers
The company integrates azimuthal solar tracking systems that allow the adjustment of their orientation to maximize energy collection throughout the day. In addition, they integrate energy storage capabilities in the same module, which improves their performance in environments where grid access is intermittent or costly.
The startup highlights a system that can achieve up to three times more efficiency per square meter compared to solar panels. solar panels on the market, without relying on large tracts of land. Such a solution is attractive for dense urban areas, industrial facilities and especially airports, where glare and spatial constraints complicate conventional PV adoption.
Since its founding in 2021, the company has accumulated solid financial backing. It recently closed a $5.5 million seed investment round, with participation from funds such as
This financial backing allows the company to advance its expansion, both in production and internationalization. The founder, Mohammed Njie, has led initiatives to implement these solar towers in hospitals and schools in The Gambia, connecting U.S. technological development with the electrification of African communities.
One of the first sectors to validate the potential of this solution was the airport sector. Janta Power’s 3D solar towers were recognized by Airports for Innovation(A4I), which selected them for a pilot at Munich Airport. Tests are also planned for Dubai, Dallas-Fort Worth and other strategic locations.
