In 2022, FutureVoltaics achieved a significant milestone through collaboration with Soltec, a leading PV manufacturer, to test and validate the performance of the VectHor system. As part of this collaboration, we sold an 8kW pre-commercial version of the VectHor system to Soltec. Soltec played a pivotal role in supporting innovation, enabling FutureVoltaics to externally and independently validate its technology in a real-world setting.
The tests demonstrated that an early version of the VectHor technology delivered higher energy production in real-world conditions on sunny days compared to static conventional systems and performed similarly to a tracker, showcasing its ability to provide the benefits of increased energy output without moving parts. It is important to note that our technology has improved much since this test was perfomed. By testing the system in a relevant environment and achieving TRL 6, this collaboration further cemented the credibility of VectHor as a high-performing solution in the photovoltaic sector.
