Problem
Traditional solar panels are often too heavy or inflexible for installation on many commercial buildings, including those with structural limitations, curved roofs, or concerns about wind resistance and aesthetic impact. Diesel generators are still widely used in the construction industry, contributing to carbon emissions and noise pollution. Homeowners are looking for more design-led solar solutions.
Solution
Solivus provides lightweight, thin-film solar solutions designed for a variety of applications, including commercial rooftops, modular buildings, and residential properties. For commercial buildings, their flexible solar panels can be installed on roofs unable to support conventional solar, reducing energy costs and promoting sustainability. For the construction industry, Solivus offers modular solar and battery systems as a green alternative to diesel generators. They are also developing the Solivus Arc, a solar sculpture for homeowners, offering a design-led approach to renewable energy generation.
Target Audience
Solivus targets commercial building owners, construction companies using modular buildings, and homeowners seeking aesthetically pleasing solar energy solutions.
