Janta Power raises $5.5M for innovative vertical solar tower technology
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Texas startup Janta Power has secured $5.5 million in seed funding to expand next-generation solar towers, a vertical alternative to flat solar farms. The funding round was led by MaC Venture Capital with support from Collab Capital. The investment demonstrates strong confidence in 3D solar systems that could reshape renewable energy worldwide.
Why are flat solar panels no longer enough?
Traditional solar panels cover large flat areas on rooftops or outdoor areas. This approach uses too much land and misses much of the day’s available sunlight. The sun moves across the sky, but flat panels capture energy best only when it is directly overhead.
Janta Power takes a different approach. The company’s rotating solar towers stack panels vertically to create a compact, three-dimensional structure that captures more sunlight throughout the day. Think of it as the solar-powered version of a skyscraper: more power from less space.

How do Janta’s solar towers work?
Each tower uses intelligent tracking software that tracks the Sun’s path from sunrise to sunset. The system adjusts its position throughout the day, collecting more sunlight than traditional fixed panels. This design allows towers to produce approximately 50% more energy while using only one-third of the space required by flat panel systems.

Because of their vertical orientation, the towers can capture sunlight during the early morning and late afternoon hours, when flat arrays are least efficient. The result is a more stable flow of electricity throughout the day, reducing pressure on power grids and reducing the need for short-term backup plants.
More powerful, smarter and more efficient
Janta’s towers are also built for strength. Each structure can withstand winds of up to 170 miles per hour. The towers feature durable steel frames and modular foundations, making them easy to install in a wide variety of environments.
Pilot programs are currently being implemented at Munich International Airport, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and facilities managed by Aena, which oversees more than 70 airports worldwide.
A game-changing development in the energy economy
The company’s 3D geometry gives each site a capacity factor of approximately 32%, compared to roughly 22% for flat panels. This higher efficiency reduces the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) to approximately $0.05 per kilowatt-hour, well below the global average of $0.15.
This advantage could make renewable energy more accessible to industries such as data centers, universities and telecommunications operations that need reliable and consistent energy.

What does this mean for you?
For businesses and communities, Janta Power’s technology could mean smaller solar installations that provide more energy for less money. Because the towers require less land, they can fit into urban areas, airports or industrial areas that cannot host traditional solar farms.
These innovations can bring cleaner, more stable and more affordable energy to local grids for ordinary consumers, while also supporting a greener energy future.
