Using the commercial version of our VectHor system, the initial performance achieved a 31% higher energy output and 48% increase in revenue, compared to the conventional 20º bifacial south-facing system. The advantages are even more pronounced when compared to 10º east-west solar systems (70% higher energy output), which are the mainstream competitors in Spanish rooftops.

Soltec played a pivotal role in supporting innovation, enabling FutureVoltaics to externally validate its technology in a real-world setting. The tests demonstrated that VectHor delivers higher energy production on sunny days compared to static conventional systems and performs similarly to a tracker, showcasing its ability to provide the benefits of increased energy output without moving parts. The collaboration, conducted in a relevant environment and achieving TRL 6, solidified VectHor's credibility as a high-performing innovation in the photovoltaic sector.

Since the formulation of the initial concept of the VectHor technology in 2019, several new prototypes were developed and tested at the IMN-CSIC experimental solar facility, ensuring rigorous validation of their potential.

One of the most significant milestones came in 2023 with the deployment of a preliminary version (TRL 6) of the VectHor system on the CSIC rooftop. This setup delivered a 33% higher yearly energy yield compared to the conventional 30º south bifacial solar system.

FutureVoltaics entered into a strategic partnership with ACOM AgroComponentes, a leading player in the AgriTech industry, to develop an AgriVoltaic version of the VectHor technology: AgriVectHor
