Exhibitor Spotlight with Solivus
Solivus will be exhibiting at The Distributed Energy Show, part of Energy Technology Live on 12th & 13th March 2025, at Stand 933.
What are the latest innovations your company has introduced in Distributed Energy Technology?
We provide lightweight solar solutions for large commercial buildings where conventional glass solar panels can’t be installed, such as airports, warehouses and sports stadiums. We have also designed a lightweight solar and battery system for modular buildings.
Solar power is key to helping decarbonise the built environment which contributes to 40% of the CO2 crisis harming our beautiful planet, and we’re on a mission to do something about it.
How does your technology integrate with existing energy infrastructure?
Our lightweight solar solutions can and have been integrated with solar battery storage systems, as well as hydrogen, which we have demonstrated in our projects for infrastructure giant, Balfour Beatty.
Our lightweight solar solutions are designed for roofs where conventional solar can’t be installed due to structural limitations, windage, aesthetics, glint and glare or roof penetration.
What are the primary applications for your technology in different sectors (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial)?
For commercial and industrial, lightweight solar solutions. For large commercial buildings, unable to take the weight of conventional solar, our lightweight solar solutions are up to 7x lighter than conventional panels and are easier to install, with similar efficiency and power density.
For construction/industrial, our Modular Buildings Solar Systems reduce the need for diesel generators on site. The systems are designed to be fitted to most standard modular buildings.
Can you share any successful case studies or projects where your technology has been implemented?

How does your technology contribute to reaching the UK’s Net Zero targets?
Solivus provides a full service, including engineering design, planning, installation and financing to help buildings generate green energy using our lightweight solar solutions and meet ESG and Net Zero targets.
We create design-led innovations for a sustainable future.
By targeting commercial rooftops and environments which are unable to take the weight of conventional solar, we help businesses, landlords, commercial property owners and sustainability professionals control and reduce their energy costs, decarbonise buildings and become more energy independent.
Our existing, completed lightweight solar solutions are predicted to prevent 1,467 tonnes of CO2 from entering the earth’s atmosphere over the next 5 years, therefore contributing to the decarbonisation of the built environment.
What trends do you see driving the future of distributed energy?
Solar will continue to grow and be deployed at an increasing rate. The UK has targets to quadruple our solar capacity by 2030.
Energy storage will see the same boom that solar and wind have experienced over the past 5 years.
Energy storage will diversify beyond chemical storage into areas like gravity, compressed air etc.
How is your company preparing for these future trends and challenges?
We are constantly scouring the market for the best-in-class lightweight solar panels. We are growing our team as quickly as possible to keep up with the demand.
What will you be showcasing at your stand at The Distributed Energy Show?
Our lightweight solar solutions: for commercial and modular buildings.
