The benefits
The SHAVAS cell uses three-dimensionality to optimise the concentration of the active ingredient compared with a flat surface, while maximising the yield for an equivalent surface area.
Conclusions from real-world testing
Real-world tests have shown that the SHAVAS three-dimensional module generates up to 3.5 times more energy than a conventional flat solar module with the same ground surface.
SHAVAS cells offer an average gain of 250% compared with a conventional flat module.
Increased production in constrained areas (low irradiance, high latitudes, etc.) where conventional modules lack efficiency.
A solution that produces enough electricity to put an end to fossil fuels.
Less equipment to manufacture, transport and assemble, because fewer modules need to be installed for the same output.
In the case of inclined modules, the gains made by the SHAVAS module will potentially be greater.
Adaptability to future solar technologies technologies such as tandem tandem cells and others.
The SHAVAS prototype
In collaboration with one of the largest photovoltaic laboratories in Europe, we designed a prototype to compare its performance with that of a conventional 2D solar panel of the same dimensions and using the same photovoltaic material, installed side by side with the same orientation.
The results of the tests conducted in the Paris region over 5 days, with measurements taken every 5 minutes, were unequivocal: an average of 250% additional production for SHAVAS compared to a conventional 2D solar panel of the same ground surface.
The results
The power delivered by the SHAVAS module is higher than that of the 2D module under a constant load of 2 Ohms throughout the entire measurement period.

A new perspective
Concrete applications
Thanks to its enhanced performance, SHAVAS opens up new ways of using solar energy. Its advantages
make it easy to install to supply green electricity
Homes
Shavas can be installed on roofs that are poorly oriented, shaded or even as a replacement for conventional solar panels.
Companies
For the same surface area, and regardless of location, Shavas can double the output of a solar power plant.
Transports
Thanks to its compact, multi-vector design, Shavas can be installed on trains, trucks, boats and much more.
Undeveloped sites
Its unrivalled efficiency in diffused light means that Shavas can be installed on sites that cannot be used with current technologies.
