Inside the Partnership
Tech4home and Exeger have partnered to bring sustainable innovation to the remote control industry with the launch of SOLAR AVE — a solar-powered remote control that eliminates the need for disposable batteries.
Unveiled in May 2023, the partnership combines Tech4home’s expertise in remote control design for pay-TV operators with Exeger’s groundbreaking solar cell technology, Powerfoyle. This partnership allows Tech4home to bring the latest advancements in sustainable energy to its product line of remote controls.
“As a company, we are always looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact, and Powerfoyle provides a sustainable solution for harvesting the power of the sun and indoor lights. This partnership will allow us to offer our customers a more environmentally friendly alternative while still providing the user experience and quality they have come to expect from Tech4home.”

Powerfoyle is seamlessly integrated into the SOLAR AVE remote, powering it without sacrificing performance or aesthetics.

Awarded a Red Dot Design Award, the SOLAR AVE is recognized for its eco-conscious innovation, sleek design, and smart functionality. This partnership sets a new industry benchmark by significantly reducing environmental impact and offering operators a sustainable, battery-free remote control alternative.
