Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 5: TriNano Technologies Pvt Ltd, a SINE IIT Bombay-incubated startup, has been recognized as a frontrunner in India's green energy revolution. On January 16, 2026, at the prestigious National Startup Day celebrations, TriNano was honored with the Best Start-up award in Deep tech category for its groundbreaking work in solar efficiency. The event was marked by a significant interaction between the TriNano leadership and Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, who reviewed the startup's contribution to India's renewable energy goals.

While solar power is the future, panel owners--from massive solar farms to individual homeowners--face a common problem: dust accumulation and degradation reduce efficiency over time. During Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's visit to the TriNano booth at the National Startup Day in Delhi on 16th Jan 2026, TriNano CEO Dr Harsh Sethi showcased their patented 3D Quantum Cladding Nano Coating, and explained the technology's ability to act as a 'force multiplier' for India's solar infrastructure, aligning perfectly with the vision of a self-reliant (Atmanirbhar) and sustainable India.

Real Benefits for the Customer

TriNano Technologies Pvt Ltd is not just for laboratories; it is designed for real-world impact. Whether applied to Greenfield projects (brand new installations) or Brownfield projects (older, existing solar plants), the benefits are immediate and universal.

For the ordinary solar user, TriNano's coating offers three critical advantages:

1. More Energy, Same Panels: The coating boosts energy output by 4%. For a solar plant owner, this translates directly to higher revenue or greater savings on electricity bills without buying extra hardware.

2. Drastically Reduced Maintenance: Solar panels usually require frequent washing to remove dust. TriNano's coating reduces cleaning requirements by about 50%, saving significant labour costs and water.

3. Extended Asset Life: By reducing the solar cell temperature, the coating extends the lifespan of solar panels by 2-3 years, ensuring a better return on investment for the customer.

'One Coat' for Climate Action

TriNano Technologies Pvt Ltd solves a critical environmental paradox: solar energy is green, but maintaining it often wastes water.

1. Water Conservation: By cutting cleaning needs by more than half, TriNano saves millions of liters of water annually--a crucial benefit for water-stressed regions in India.

2. Carbon Reduction: The increased efficiency leads to a reduction in carbon emissions by 5.2%.

3. Land Efficiency: Higher output means better utilization of space, improving land availability metrics by 7.6%.

Quote from Leadership

'It was a proud moment to demonstrate to Prime Minister Modi that Indian innovation can lead the world in solar efficiency,' said Dr Harsh Sethi, Founder/CEO of TriNano Technologies Pvt Ltd. 'Our technology ensures that whether you have a 10-year-old panel or a brand new one, irrespective of the brand or location, you get maximum power output. We are making solar energy not just cleaner, but smarter and more profitable for the user.'
