About Us
At MetaEfficient, we test products and techniques to determine which is the most efficient or optimal.
Whenever we assess a product, we try to consider not only its energy efficiency but also its embodied energy, toxicity, affordability, and durability. Thus, meta-efficiency is the analysis of efficiency at a more comprehensive level.
Launched in 2004, MetaEfficient was the first site to review energy efficient and green products. Our focus has always been on anything that stands out as particularly efficient — be it humble or high-tech.

A Spherical Solar Cell From Japan:The Sphelar
- by JUSTIN on FEBRUARY 7, 2007
- in RENEWABLE POWER
A Kyoto-based company, Kyosemi, has created a spherical solar cell design. The “Sphelar” is a matrix of tiny, spherical-shaped solar cells, about 1mm in diameter. The spheres are designed to absorb sunlight at any angle, and therefore do not require motorization for tracking the sun. Because of their geometry, Sphelar cells even optimize the use of reflected and indirect light, and have been shown to convert energy with close to 20% efficiency — beyond most flat photovoltaic technologies.
