Solicore Inc. (Lakeland, FL) and ICP Global Technologies (Montreal, Canada) have signed an agreement in which the two companies will utilize their patented technologies to jointly develop and market a range of solar energy products for consumer and industrial applications.
Solicore has patented a dry electrolyte that is a non-compressible, non-combustible and non-toxic film, making possible completely solid, dry, flexible, rechargeable and environmentally friendly battery products. ICP has developed a line of photovoltaic panels capable of running small appliances in RVs and marine vehicles, maintaining vehicle batteries, and solar-powered battery chargers.
"The marriage of the two technologies could lead to a host of power applications that can only be imagined today," said Solicore President and COO Robert Singleton. "In today's energy-conscious world, the combination of solar and battery technologies has unlimited product potential."
