Solivus is a UK-based solar energy startup that develops ultra-thin, flexible organic thin-film (OPV) solar panels that can be wrapped around flat roofs and used in portable home systems. Its products include flexible panels for warehouses, stadiums and offices, and a plug-and-play 'Solivus Arc' portable solar sculpture for homeowners built from organic solar film in a recyclable structure. The company is trialing the technology on projects including Cotswold airport, which it says will be the first airport to fit organic solar film to hangars and to help power the site and a new generation of hydrogen aircraft. Solivus plans to commercially roll out the portable Solivus Arcs and use the new funding to expand across the UK built environment and residential market. It will join the Founders Factory G-Force sustainability seed programme for six months to rapidly scale the business. To date Solivus has raised a total of £5 million and will use the fresh £2.4 million to support its expansion and commercialisation plans.
