Our pilot in collaboration with ZHAW School of Life Sciences and Facility Management in in operation. Corn salad is grown under insolagrin solution to study the effect of solar modules on crop growth.

Insolight successfully obtained the EIC Accelerator grant which will support the production and commercial scale-up of our agrivoltaic solution.
Many thanks to the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI)  for their support following the Swiss ban from the Horizon Europe Programs.

Insolight was one of the 39 companies invited to compete at the Future22 final event in late March 2022.

During the project the micro-climate and biodiversity under Insolight translucent modules to compare to conventional (opaque modules)will be monitored. The demonstrator will quantify the effect of our translucent technology on vegetalised rooftops.

The Federation of Migros Cooperatives decided to suport the insolagrin project, sending an important signal about the importance of bringing a new solution for large-scale photovoltaic deployments without additional impact on the land and reducing the carbon footprint of crops. Find out more in Migros Magazine in French & German.

insolagrin, a pilot project created by three partners Insolight, Romande Energie and Agroscope and supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE).

Our agrivoltaic solution insolagrin which combines solar energy and soft fruit production on the same land was named Technovation for Next Level Fruit! More about the award here.

Solar Power Europe just published a best practice guidelines to agrivoltaics. Insolight is recognized as a potential game changer in this quickly growing sector thanks to our unique dynamic agrivoltaic solution that adapts to seasons and weather conditions.

The Solar Impulse Foundation has started a mission to select 1000 solutions that address environmental challenges while enabling economic growth. 

We are proud to announce that the foundation has reached its goal and our THEIA solar module is part of the portfolio along with 1000solutions.

We support the efforts of Bertrand Piccard and the Solar Impulse Foundation to accelerate the implementation of solutions that can bring profit to both the economy and environment.

Insolight is participating in the European Green Bauhaus initiative, a sustainable construction and renovation programme combining energy demand reduction and renewable energy generation for residential and mixed-use buildings. The project targets to implement a unique combination of Near Zero-Energy Building technologies and methods, which will be deployed in three living labs covering various bioclimatic conditions: Sant Gil Eco Neighbourhood in Spain, Kultaranta Green Village in Finland and Da Vinci Labs in France. In this project, our goal will be to mount the solar modules both as both a shading system and a solar electricity generator, protecting people or crops from excess of light & heat. More information coming soon.
