Understand the host system
Primary function, available surfaces, geometry, loads, environment and energy demand are defined first.
CUSTOM SOLUTIONS · STRUCTURAL PHOTOVOLTAICS
Your product. Our energy integration.
FET applies structural photovoltaics to products, components and structures that were not originally conceived as energy systems, integrating local harvesting without losing their primary function.

STARTING FROM THE APPLICATION
The solution begins with the host product.
Rather than forcing a standard photovoltaic module into an existing object, FET starts from the geometry, function, operating environment and energy needs of the product or structure to be transformed.
Identify useful energy functions
Photovoltaic harvesting, storage, control and additional functions are selected only where they create real value.
Design the integration
Mechanical, electrical and energy architectures are developed together around the application.
CUSTOM INTEGRATION
Photovoltaics becomes part of the component.
The energy-harvesting element is designed into the host system rather than added as an external accessory.
Geometry & Surface Integration
Photovoltaic elements can be adapted to different shapes, dimensions and available areas.
Mechanical Integration
Support, protection, fixing and structural requirements are developed with the photovoltaic function.
Electrical Architecture
Connections, power conversion and interfaces are dimensioned according to the host product and available energy.
Energy Management
Where useful, storage, BMS and control functions are integrated into the same system architecture.
FROM REQUIREMENT TO WORKING SYSTEM
A custom solution is developed through physical verification.
Once the integration concept is defined, FET develops the engineering, builds the prototype and verifies the behaviour of the complete system before consolidation.
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Custom does not mean improvised.
The development path remains controlled from the first requirement through final integration.
01
Requirement
Define product function, environment and energy needs.
02
Engineering
Develop structural, photovoltaic, storage and control integration.
03
Prototype
Build the physical system and verify interfaces.
04
Validation
Test performance and refine the design.
05
Consolidation
Stabilise configuration and realization methods.
06
Realization
Coordinate component manufacturing and final FET integration.
REALIZATION MODEL
Components can be outsourced. Product control remains with FET.
When required, individual components are manufactured by selected external suppliers according to FET specifications. Integration, system configuration and final verification remain under FET control.
This allows the realization model to adapt to the project while preserving technical responsibility for the final product.
POSSIBLE HOST SYSTEMS
Different products. One integration principle.
Building Components
Tiles, shutters, roofs, façades and other architectural elements.
Outdoor Products
Umbrellas, furniture and autonomous outdoor equipment.
Mobile Systems
Backpacks, transportable devices and self-powered mobile applications.
Industrial Components
Customer-specific structures and products requiring integrated local energy harvesting.
B2B DEVELOPMENT
Discuss your application.
Structural Photovoltaics custom solutions are developed around the host product and its requirements. FET can evaluate the application, define the integration concept and develop the corresponding prototype and system architecture.
