CUSTOM SOLUTIONS · CUSTOM GEOMETRY PANELS

Photovoltaics shaped around the application.

FET develops photovoltaic elements whose geometry follows the host product, surface or functional requirement rather than forcing the application to adapt to a standard rectangular panel.

WHY CUSTOM GEOMETRY

Not every useful surface is rectangular.

Products and structures often contain curved, narrow, segmented or irregular areas where conventional photovoltaic modules cannot be efficiently integrated. Custom geometry allows the energy-harvesting surface to follow the real application.

GEOMETRY

Adapt to available space.

Photovoltaic elements can be designed around the dimensions and shape of the host component.

FUNCTION

Preserve the product purpose.

The energy function is integrated without changing the primary role of the host product more than necessary.

INTEGRATION

Use surfaces that would otherwise remain passive.

Custom forms make local energy harvesting possible in products where standard PV modules would be impractical.

POSSIBLE GEOMETRIES

Different forms from the same integration principle.

Geometry is defined around the application, while electrical architecture and structural integration are developed together.

NARROW & LINEAR

Strips & Elongated Elements

Photovoltaic elements developed for narrow structures, profiles, edges or elongated components.

IMG-7222B
SEGMENTED

Modular & Mosaic Geometry

Multiple photovoltaic sections combined to follow complex surfaces or create larger custom assemblies.

IMG-7222C
CURVED / 3D

Non-Planar Surfaces

Geometry developed around three-dimensional forms where energy harvesting must follow the host object.

ENGINEERING THE PANEL AROUND THE PRODUCT

Geometry is only one part of the design.

Cell arrangement, electrical segmentation, mechanical support, protection and connection architecture are developed according to the geometry and operating environment of the final component.

The result is a photovoltaic element conceived as part of the host product rather than as an independent panel attached later.

CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT

From available surface to working photovoltaic component.

The development process starts from the usable geometry and ends with a verified component ready for integration into the host system.

01

Surface Definition

02

Cell Layout

Photovoltaic arrangement and electrical subdivision.

03

Structural Design

Support, protection and interfaces with the host component.

04

Prototype

Physical realization of the custom geometry element.

05

Verification

06

Integration

Final incorporation into the product or system.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES

Panels for products that standard modules cannot serve.

Custom geometry can support architectural components, outdoor products, mobile systems, curved photovoltaic collectors and other applications where the available surface defines the panel.

The technology can also be combined with local storage and control when the final product must operate as an autonomous system.

B2B DEVELOPMENT

Bring us the geometry.

FET can evaluate the available surface, define a photovoltaic architecture around the host product and develop the corresponding custom component and prototype.

CUSTOM GEOMETRY PANELS

The panel follows the product.
