Nexii Building Solutions Inc. is pleased to announce that it has entered a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) to purchase Solar Earth Technologies Ltd. (Solar Earth), a manufacturer of hardened solar power panels that transform sidewalks, parking lots, and other elements of everyday infrastructure into a new source of solar energy.

solar technology integration

Nexii believes that the proposed acquisition of Solar Earth by Nexii (the “Proposed Acquisition”) if completed, would accelerate the integration of solar technology in Nexii’s low carbon buildings and products, supporting Nexii’s 2025 target of net zero operational carbon buildings.

The Proposed Acquisition is also expected to support both companies in delivering their patented solutions to help their clients address the global climate crisis.

clean electricity generation

Solar Earth has more than 50 projects in development to transform existing infrastructure into a clean-energy source

Solar Earth has more than a dozen live projects globally, with installations at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, Stellenbosch University in South Africa, Daxing Green Village in Beijing, China, and the City of Tampa in Florida generating clean electricity from Solar Earth’s power-generating sidewalks.

The company has more than 50 projects in development and is seeing increased market demand to transform existing infrastructure into a clean-energy source. 

net zero future

With our shared vision to create a net zero future and by combining our technologies, we believe we have the opportunity to make net positive energy buildings a reality.”

We look forward to working with Solar Earth to rapidly scale, and meet the market demand for smart pavement technology,” said Stephen Sidwell, CEO, and co-founder of Nexii.

renewable energy infrastructure solutions

Our mission is to help create a net zero future for our cities and communities, and fight climate change"

Delivering renewable energy infrastructure solutions to a global market is what we strive for, and we could not think of a better partner than Nexii.”

Our mission is to help create a net zero future for our cities and communities, and fight climate change by transforming everyday infrastructure into a source of solar energy to replace fossil fuels,” said Douglas Matthews, CEO, and director of Solar Earth.

Energy savings

Nexii’s building approach cuts waste to near-zero, reduces build times, and significantly lowers both the embodied and operational carbon of buildings. 

Nexii buildings have approximately 31 percent less embodied carbon than conventional construction materials and use approximately a third less energy overall, significantly lowering energy needs and emissions for ongoing building operations.
