Inside the Partnership

Exeger and Minami have formed a strategic partnership to accelerate the integration of Exeger’s patented solar cell technology, Powerfoyle, into a broader range of consumer electronics products. By combining Exeger’s innovation in sustainable energy harvesting with Minami’s deep expertise in acoustics and consumer electronics manufacturing, the collaboration is unlocking new opportunities for leading brands to develop self-charging, light-powered products.

Minami serves as a key partner in supporting the scaling of Powerfoyle across the consumer electronics market. Through its extensive network and supply chain management proficiency, Minami strengthens Exeger’s connections with new partner brands and facilitates the adoption of Powerfoyle into products such as headphones, speakers and microphones. By combining Powerfoyle’s unique properties with Minami’s product development excellence, the companies are helping global brands enhance their offerings with virtually endless battery life and a clear competitive edge.

“We are thrilled to join forces with Exeger in this exciting venture, where innovation meets sustainability. Our extensive experience in consumer electronics, particularly within the acoustics industry, aligns seamlessly with Exeger’s groundbreaking technology. We look forward to working closely together to meet our collective goal of enhancing the consumer offerings of top-tier brands. It’s exciting to see what new possibilities for self-charging products we might unlock in the future, and we are confident about the positive impact it will have on the industry.”

A major milestone of the partnership was in 2025 at the Consumer Electronics (CES) show in Las Vegas where Exeger and Minami showcased the first proof of concept from its collaboration: headphones featuring improved efficiency of Powerfoyle solar cells and a slimmer form factor. This advancement not only enhances the aesthetic and wearability of the device but also reduces production costs, allowing Minami to target a more affordable price point and broaden market accessibility. The collaboration demonstrates that sustainable solar technology can now be incorporated without compromising design, performance, or affordability – bringing solar-powered products within reach of a wider consumer audience.

The collaboration with Minami is central to Exeger’s broader strategy of building a strong partner ecosystem to accelerate the mass adoption of Powerfoyle technology. Together, Exeger and Minami are advancing the consumer electronics industry toward a future where renewable energy is embedded into everyday products, reducing dependence on traditional batteries and the grid, and making sustainable innovation more widely accessible.
