Who is the RTA
Aesthetic Green Power
Aesthetic Green Power (AGP). continues the pioneering work in renewable-powered building science begun by Atlantis Energy Systems Inc. Building science has been evolving to energy conservation. We believe that many buildings can be sustainably designed and look good doing it. Renewable energy is more than solar panels – it is daylighting, solar thermal and even energy storage systems that allow off-grid security.
AGP changed our name from Atlantis Energy Systems Inc in 2018 to Aesthetic Green Power after partnering with Columbia University.

Ottobahn
MOVING TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION
Safely through the city. Arriving on time. Enjoying the ride. 100% emission-free.
OTTOBAHN’s leading-edge and sustainable mobility technology heralds the mobility turnaround. Cities can grow into green and livable urban spaces. A future without concrete wastelands, without traffic jams and waiting times.
The OTTOBAHN pod system on elevated rail tracks blends seamlessly into the cityscape and creates space for pedestrians and green areas. At the same time, our rail network can be greened and equipped with solar cells that can provide the power for the cabins.
100 year service life. Patented passive switch system. No moving parts with minimal maintenance.
SPD Laboratory
SPD Lab started working with Columbia University Engineering in 2017. Since then, the lab is also opened to local universities and college to work on projects and internship as well. The prime objectives are to develop next generation solar technology building materials and educating the next generation of professional workforce through internships. Joined efforts on R&D with education institutes are always welcome. In light of the situation, two books have already been published through working with our partners. As we move ahead in the coming years, more books will be published so that more professionals all over will be able to meet the challenges on renewable energy demand. SPD Lab will continue to develop solar technologies and manufacturing process so that Aesthetic Green Power and our partners will continue to have the state of the art technology products.
