Supplier

Solaxess SA, a Swiss enterprise established in January 2015 by Neuchâtel residents Sébastien Eberhard and Olivier Gavillet, stands at the forefront of innovation in the global solar industry. While the company operates on a worldwide scale, its roots and commitment to pioneering technology are deeply embedded in the district of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, where the company's headquarters are strategically located. At the heart of Solaxess's groundbreaking endeavors are seven patents harnessed from the expertise of the CSEM in Switzerland. These patents serve as the backbone for the industrialization and commercialization of a revolutionary nanotechnological film. This film, available in both white and a spectrum of colors, plays a pivotal role in the realization of photovoltaic facades, offering a transformative solution for the building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) sector. The core product, a nanotechnological film seamlessly integrated into PV modules during production by the manufacturer, imparts a mirror-like surface that can be customized to any desired color. This technological innovation addresses a critical gap in the market where traditional PV modules, designed for optimal sunlight absorption, often present an aesthetically unpleasing blue-black appearance due to visible cells and connections. Solaxess's solution not only overcomes this visual challenge but also opens the door to the development of fully functional construction elements. Crucially, Solaxess doesn't just provide a product; it offers a collaborative approach to clients seeking assistance with their photovoltaic facades. The company facilitates connections with experienced partners, ensuring a seamless integration of their innovative technology into diverse architectural projects. Behind the scenes, the research and development driving Solaxess's cutting-edge product are spearheaded by the CSEM in Neuchâtel, a distinguished research center specializing in microelectronics, energy management, and photovoltaic technology. In conjunction with Microquanta, an industrial partner based in Hangzhou, China, Solaxess combines Swiss precision with global collaboration, showcasing a commitment to excellence in the dynamic field of solar technology. As Solaxess continues to redefine the possibilities of building-integrated photovoltaics, it not only transforms facades but also reshapes the way architects and investors perceive and embrace renewable energy solutions.
