HELIUP Stykon

The solar potential contribution of rooftops in the total electricity mix is around 25%. However, over 80% of commercial and industrial buildings cannot carry the weight of standard solar panels. Current solutions are unsuitable due to the insufficient durability of polymer or its composites.

HELIUP produces a lightweight solar PV modules suitable for the large rooftops of commercial and industrial buildings. This innovative technology has been developed at CEA-LITEN and provides an insurable, reliable and efficient light solar PV solution compatible for buildings with load/structural limitations. The company also offers building owners and users means to better control their energy costs, bringing auto-consumption within reach.

• Low weight thanks to thinner glass: 5kg/m2 (i.e. 2 to 4 times lighter than standard panels at 12 to 20kg/m2).
• Long lifetime thanks to glass: equal to that of standard panels with 12 years of product warranty, 25 years of production warranty.
• Same total cost as standard panels (i.e. including mounting time).
• Quick and easy installation: at least twice as fast installation time (mounting of PV panel on top of the roof): <1 min/module.
