About Genoptic

Company profile


Genoptic was founded in 2017 to research and develop new nano-optoelectronic technologies that push the boundaries of conventional technologies in the LED and solar display industries in collaboration with the University of Calgary, Queens University, and Harvard University.


Genoptic has since established itself as an advanced research and development company specializing in the development of appropriate technologies that significantly improve performance, reliability, and energy efficiency for a wide range of products and solutions for various industries worldwide.

In 2023, Genoptic founded Energygroup, which pursues the same innovative approach to energy supply. Rather than focusing on a large region or industry, Genoptic specifically develops solar, energy storage, and related projects that have the potential to create value by leveraging innovative energy sales channels, leveraging emerging technologies, deploying creative financing and financial products, and building high-quality, long-life energy generation assets.

The most important product technologies:

Diverse patent portfolio, consisting of 18 patent families and 125 patents


  • Energy conversion: Integrated nano-circuit technologies


  • Photonics: Nano-display technologies


  • Optics: Nano-meta-surface technologies

Core competencies in the energy sector:

  • Solar Parks



  • Collaboration with regional developers with early to mid-stage project pipelines


  • Providing financing and technology know-how to reduce costs and maximize solar yield


  • Building stable, long-lasting facilities with a broad mix of consumers to maximize returns.

Portfolio development strategy

Genoptic pursues a differentiated, value-enhancing strategy to develop a robust renewable energy portfolio. Its goal is to have at least 1,500 MW under development or in operation within the next five years. This will be achieved through:

  • Geographic target area in the most important markets, starting with the US, where development cycles may be shorter. Initially, states such as Tennessee, New Mexico, Nevada, and other unregulated markets will be targeted.


  • Overseas markets include the US territories, the South Pacific, and markets where opportunities arise.


  • Keep your technological options open; continually evaluate whether you can incorporate more modern products into your projects to increase efficiency.


  • Initially, they rely on development partners to implement selected projects and then develop them further themselves. We currently work with two partners, one in the US and the other in the South Pacific.


  • Increase project value through upselling to the corporate and industrial markets, with a utility company acting as the off-taker if possible. Conclude off-take agreements as early as possible.
  • Stay open to different generation technologies – solar, solar storage, solar-wind hybrid, storage only, etc.


  • Partnerships with strategic EPC and financing partners to evaluate innovative financing options during development and construction.



  • Once a certain internal milestone is reached (e.g. 500 MW), a strategic long-term infrastructure and IPP partner is brought in.

Forecasted pipeline growth

Genoptic has entered into or is negotiating partnership/acquisition agreements with several partners with diverse regional and technological expertise.

technological expertise. Genoptic has identified specific projects with these partners.


  • The agreements grant Genoptic a right of first refusal for selected pipelines.
  • Genoptic's experienced team actively collaborates with developers, supporting them in meeting and accelerating milestones.
  • Genoptic reviews project documents, permit applications, etc. to ensure bankability and fungibility.
  • In most cases, each project is bundled in a special purpose vehicle (SPV), which allows for allocation by region or asset type.
  • The Genoptic team continuously evaluates value creation through the use of new technologies, design techniques and enhancements.
