Presentation

Founded

in July 2001 by photovoltaic experts with longstanding experience covering all relevant fields from Research and Development to process engineering, industrialisation and marketing.
The company’s capital is shared like following:

• YRIEL, personal holding of an associate founder 40%
• EDF ENR, subsidiary of EDF and d’EDF EN 40%
• Associate Founders 16.31%
• Employees 3.69%

Vocation

develops new scientific, technological and marketing solutions with the aim to arrive at a significant costs reduction of photovoltaic energy systems for the end user.    

Activities

Works today in the fields of:

• material, by the simplified production of Solar Grade Silicon  (PHOTOSIL), and its adaptation to a photovoltaic usage
• photovoltaic modules, by the development of a New Industrial Cells Encapsulation process (NICE), as well as innovations for the implementation and the management of PV modules,
• marketing strategies, for accelerated diffusion and application of the photovoltaic energy on the market

Patents

Patented more than 70 national and international patents in the field of silicone material and high reliability PV modules. Their validity and utilization method are developed in the frame of R&D conventions, in partnership with laboratories and industrials.

Competences

’s core competences are in Research & Development of innovative technologies for silicon based photovoltaics, as well as in project management into a technologic cluster  and marketing strategy.

Strategy

establishes a close collaboration with renowned actors directly from the field of photovoltaics, but also strategic alliances with industrial and R&D partners dealing with technologies close  to photovoltaics in order to benefit from potential synergies. The final goal is to bring our innovations up to their exploitation by the market.
