IntriEnergy Inc., a Naples-based solar energy company led by industry veterans, is launching its capital funding push today through crowd-funding platform StartEngine.

The local technology firm is seeking individual investors interested in renewable, clean energy for the future as the company brings the first of its three technologies to market. IntriEnergy’s patented photovoltaic (PV) cell innovations increase the power output of current solar panels by up to 60% without increasing panel size.

Through the advancements made by IntriEnergy’s chief technology officer, Franco Gaspari, and his team, IntriEnergy’s innovative PV cells are able to capture and convert more of the sun’s spectrum of light into useable energy.

These cells have been designed and engineered to be integrated into existing solar manufacturing processes for both commercial and consumer solar applications, the company reports.
