HeliaSol® is an organic solar solution that helps customers to virtually convert any surface into a power-generating solar surface, helping the customers to become less susceptible to increasing energy prices.
HeliaSol® is flexible, ultra-lightweight and ultra-thin, which enables more surfaces to become energy generator. The film is perfectly suited on curved or non-straight rooftops, ones with low static conditions like old buildings or lightweight industrial buildings, which usually cannot take traditional PV solutions. Even Façade installations can be realised with HeliaSol®. The solar film is a ready-to-use product with a specific adhesive on the back, which is glued directly to surfaces like steel, concrete and rooftop membranes.

Implemented by Engie in La Rochelle (France) in 2017
Engie and the Department of Charentes Maritimes, implemented the technology on the College Pierre Mendès-France’s roof in La Rochelle in 2017. The aim was to provide green energy for the lighting and cooling of the building which had a zinc metal rooftop-structure requiring a lightweight and easy to install product. The implemented system with its R&D production line covers 514 m2 with a capacity of 22.5 kWp. 8 hours were needed for 6 workers to install the 378 films.
