Voltiris Overview
Pro stress-test →Voltiris develops patented spectral filtering technology that transmits all light frequencies needed for crop growth while converting unused light into renewable energy. The Lausanne-based startup enables the energy transition of greenhouses by developing color-optimized solar modules compatible with agriculture and glass greenhouses. The company addresses a dual-value proposition: sustainable agriculture with reduced carbon footprint and independent renewable energy for growers.
Strategic Profile
Pro stress-test →Voltiris designs solar modules for greenhouses that split the light spectrum, allowing crops to grow while generating electricity and reducing CO2 emissions by up to 95%. Two-axis tracking extends daily energy production by up to 35% compared to static photovoltaic systems. The company has achieved 12 commercial projects with leading European growers and partnerships with utilities like Elektra Baselland and Romande Energie.
Competitive Landscape
Pro stress-test →Competitors include UbiQD. Other players in agrivoltaic and greenhouse solar applications include Brite Solar (solar glass for agriculture), b-Wave (environmental control systems for horticulture), and California LightWorks (LED grow lights). Voltiris differentiates through spectral filtering technology that maintains crop productivity while generating energy—a narrower solution than broad greenhouse technology providers.
Industry Context
Voltiris operates in Agrivoltaic solar modules for greenhouses.
