With a background in finance, Keith has led both public and privately held companies. Most recently Keith served as Managing Partner and CEO of Cranberry Capital along with management roles at Sweetwater Energy, Clerio Vision, and Health Care Originals. Building on deep relationships with Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester, Cranberry Capital has made a number of material science and health care technology investments.
“As an early investor in our company, I have worked with Keith for many years and am excited to welcome him to our team as CEO,” said Ubiquitous Energy co-founder and CTO, Dr. Miles Barr. “Keith’s experience and expertise will help accelerate our growth and lead us through this exciting time as we are on the verge of commercializing our truly transparent solar technology.”
Founded by renowned scientists and professors from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Michigan State University, Dr. Miles Barr, Prof. Vladimir Bulovic, and Prof. Richard Lunt, Ubiquitous Energy was formed upon the novel concept of creating transparent solar cells that can be deployed seamlessly throughout our everyday world. Applied directly to glass using standard glass coating equipment, ClearView Power™ is a highly transparent, color-neutral coating that generates electricity from sunlight. ClearView Power™ selectively absorbs and converts non-visible light (ultraviolet and infrared) to electricity while transmitting visible light. Having raised more than $25M in total financing, the company is working with global partners to integrate ClearView Power™ into a variety of products with a focus on architectural window applications.
Ubiquitous Energy is primed to revolutionize the way we think about solar technology with the commercial deployment of ClearView Power™. “The team at Ubiquitous Energy has done an amazing job developing this novel and unique transparent solar technology,” said Keith Wilson. “Having observed the technology since its beginning it’s incredible to see the progress. I look forward to helping the team bring this technology to the market. We have many great things coming, stay tuned.”
