SOL-R&D accelerates the energy transition by applying photovoltaic (PV) materials to places where they would normally not be. Every surface has the potential to generate electricity without compromising on aesthetics. Whether this is in buildings (BIPV) or products, we offer unique solutions that provide complete design freedom for designers and architects.

SOL-R&D is a PV material development and consultancy studio based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. For years we have been developing photovoltaic material compositions with a focus on design freedom and appearance that is unmatched in the industry. We bring together the latest technologies from research institutions, the manufacturing capabilities of solar panel manufacturers, and glass expertise from top-level processors. Combine this with design engineering and the result is SOL-R&D.

We like to collaborate on projects. The first job is to understand your vision and needs. Accordingly, we can inspire and provide the expertise and most suitable tech to realize your project. Solutions can range from one of the products we already offer, to custom solutions, especially for you.
