Voltiris

I’m proud to share that Rabobank, a highly recognized player in the industry, has included Voltiris’ technology in it’s roadmap for sustainable horticulture 🍀   The roadmap was developed to help growers identify the next step on their path to a climate-neutral greenhouse operation, covering a variety of sustainable opportunities from heating to power and CO2 capture.   Voltiris' solar modules have been recognized as one of the top four most sustainable power solutions for growers, playing a key role in their transition to carbon-free, independent energy.   A big thank you to Rabobank for featuring Voltiris in this important initiative. We are eager to help as many growers as possible in their transition towards more sustainable and resilient vegetable production. Curious to learn more?

A Huge Milestone : Ranked 6th Startup in Switzerland   Voltiris has been ranked 6th in Top 100 Swiss Startup Award for 2024, recognized by a panel of 100 investors and experts from the Swiss startup ecosystem. This is our first appearance on the list, and being only two years old, it’s an honor to be ranked alongside emerging leaders like DePoly, this year's winner, as well as - among others - HAYA Therapeutics, Planted, Corintis. Huge congratulations to all. A big thank you also to the jury members for believing in us and voting for Voltiris, and the Venturelab team for organizing this great event. This recognition belongs to our entire team. Over the past few weeks, we've achieved incredible milestones—from launching new projects in Europe, preparing for more, securing exciting global partnerships, to setting new records in energy production from our solar units. Thank you, team! There’s still a long road ahead, with many more exciting milestones to reach… Stay tuned! #TOP100SSU

Highest energy yield ⚡ ever reached for a crop-compatible agrivoltaic system? A few weeks ago, the Voltiris team achieved to reach a peak power of 145 Wp/m2 for its innovative greenhouse solar modules. Why is this a breakthrough in the agrivoltaics field ? 1/ The Voltiris modules have been tested and validated in greenhouse settings over the most light-demanding crops (tomatoes, pepper, cucumbers...). For these crops, the rule of thumb is "1% light loss is 1% yield loss". In comparison, reaching 145Wp/m2 would require a ~70% light loss when using standard checkerboard APV technologies, which decreases too much the agronomical yield to be economical. This was made possible thanks to our fruitful collaboration with 3M who has been supplying us perfect dichroic filters, that could separate effectively the wavelengths reaching the crops from the ones used for generating power. 2/ No similar spectrally-filtering low-concentration agrivoltaics system have reached such a high efficiency in the past. This efficiency could only be reached thanks to the team dedication to get the perfect optical and mechanical design of the dichroic-based concentrator. In Low-Concentration PV systems, every details count, and small errors in the optical system can be detrimental to the system efficiency. I can't wait to see how far the dedicated Voltiris team will push further the boundaries of the agrivoltaics field, and how Voltiris will keep contributing to the electrification and decarbonization of the greenhouse industry.

Ganz klar – wir brauchen viele, intelligente Lösungen, um die globalen Herausforderungen, wie den Klimawandel, in den Griff zu bekommen: Eine davon stellt Niklas in seinem Video vor. Erfahrt dabei, was es mit der spannenden Kooperation zwischen 3M und dem Technologieunternehmen Voltiris auf sich hat, und wie wir es gemeinsam schaffen, Gewächshäuser zu transformieren. Wir helfen damit dabei, diese Energie unabhängig zu machen und das Pflanzenwachstum zu optimieren. #ClimateTech #3MForward #Sustainability

Merci à PME et Elisabeth Kim pour avoir mis en lumière Voltiris dans leur dernière série de portraits. Nous sommes reconnaissants pour cette conversation enrichissante et pour l'opportunité de mettre en avant notre vision. Ce fut un réel plaisir de partager notre parcours et d'évoquer les défis à venir, directement depuis les Serres des Marais, dirigées par alexandre cudet et Patrice Brestaz.

Excited to announce that Voltiris will be at HackSummit 🇨🇭 Join us to discuss the future of renewable energy and high-tech greenhouse agriculture. At Voltiris, we’re pioneering spectral filtering technology, enabling optimal use of both dimensions without compromise. ⚡️🍅🫑 We’re thrilled to showcase our innovative solutions right here in Lausanne. Looking forward to connecting with you at our booth!

Today, I will be presenting as part of a panel 🍅 ⚡ on "The Battle Between Solar Panels and Plants: Yield or Watts?" on the technology stage of the GreenTech together with Egon Janssen, Luuk Graamans and Bas Oudshoorn at 12:00 pm (06/12). I will mainly present Voltiris innovative solar modules for glass greenhouses, and Bas Oudshoorn will present the latest agronomic results of our pepper trials at Delphy in Bleiswijk (NL). If you cannot attend our panel, feel free to pass by our booth 03.449 in the Renewable Hub.
