Ubiquitous Energy Ubiquitous Energy Ubiquitous Energy, Inc. is an American solar energy company headquartered in Redwood City, California that designs transparent solar technology to absorb ultraviolet and near infrared light (NIR) (wavelength span of λ= 650– 850 nm) while transmitting visible light through its medium called ClearView Power. Ubiquitous Energy is a privately funded company founded in 2011 by Miles Barr, Vladimir Bulović, and Richard Lunt. Current solar power is created in solar plants that take up lots of surface area far away from where the energy is consumed. It is estimated 15% of the energy is lost during distribution.

Ultraviolet communication in butterflies the pterins absorb the ultraviolet light. Thus, butterflies are able to reflect ultraviolet light as a result of the organization and composition of their wing scales resulting in thin layer constructive interference and can absorb ultraviolet through the action of pterin pigments. Butterflies receive ultraviolet signals by utilizing a special photoreceptor pigment in the butterfly eye. The butterfly eye is similar to the average insect eye in that it is composed of numerous ommatidia. Each butterfly ommatidium contains nine photoreceptors with generally each photoreceptor utilizing a single visual pigment. A UV sensitive visual pigment is responsible for a butterfly’s ability
