Solar Plex upgrades any PV panel into a PV-T system, addressing a key issue in solar energy—power loss due to overheating. Our technology minimizes these losses and captures 3-4 times more thermal energy, significantly increasing the overall efficiency of solar installations. Panels modernized with our technology provide: Lower energy costs due to enhanced performance, Energy independence through self-generation of electricity and heat, Fixed energy rates for the next 15+ years, Reduced CO₂ emissions by making better use of solar energy. Our industrial prototype has been operating in real conditions for 4 years, with the latest upgraded technology running since August 2023. The system integrates seamlessly into both new and existing solar installations without requiring panel replacement, making it a flexible and scalable solution for construction companies and solar installers.

About me

I am CTO and co-founder of Solar Plex, a cleantech project focused on upgrading photovoltaic panels into hybrid PV-T systems.

We solve one of the key inefficiencies of solar energy — overheating of PV panels — by converting excess heat into useful thermal energy.

Our goal is to increase total solar energy utilization and enable decentralized energy systems that produce both electricity and heat.

Currently, we are preparing pilot projects in the EU and looking for partners for deployment and scaling.
