What is the Project?
Dualsun is all about smart solar for smart buildings. Established with a clear vision to lower energy costs and boost energy ratings for homes and buildings, Dualsun develops high-performance hybrid solar (PVT) panels. These panels not only produce electricity but also generate hot water and heating—all thanks to a patented design that integrates a photovoltaic panel with a heat exchanger on the backsheet. Designed in France and manufactured with industrial excellence since 2010 in Marseille, France, the project offers a complete solution by also including perfectly matching PV panels. It’s 100% made in France and generates 3x more energy than a standard photovoltaic panel… Truly an innovative leap in solar energy technology.
Main Benefits and Key Figures
The benefits of Dualsun’s solution are clear, compelling, and backed by solid numbers:
- Lower energy costs and improved energy ratings for buildings
- Enhanced resilience in a volatile energy market
- Unlocks green loans thanks to guaranteed higher energy ratings
- 30-year warranty with performance guaranteed for decades
- SPRING (PVT) panel produces 6 times more energy than a standard PV panel
- Carefully selected manufacturing partners, meeting strict environmental and social criteria
Innovative Hybrid Solar Technology
Dualsun’s approach features cutting-edge hybrid solar panels that combine photovoltaic and solar thermal systems. The Dualsun SPRING panel is a 2-in-1 marvel—it produces both electricity and heat, meeting the diverse energy needs of a building in one streamlined system. With the innovative design coming from an R&D center in Marseille, this system smartly uses excess power and thermal energy to improve self-consumption and reduce dependence on batteries. Not to mention, the FLASH (PV) panel is specially designed to generate maximum electricity with minimal environmental impact from manufacturing to recycling. This smart integration makes the technology particularly effective for those seeking a sustainable alternative.
Versatile Solutions for Multiple Applications
The Dualsun solution is notably versatile. It is tailored for a range of applications—from cozy homes and apartment buildings to larger infrastructures like public swimming pools and sports stadiums. The technology is scalable, offering a simple, effective, and cost-saving solar pre-heating option that can easily be integrated with existing domestic hot water tanks or pool heating systems. Moreover, the pairing of SPRING panels with various heat pumps—whether it’s a ground source heat pump, a brine-to-water heat pump, or a liquid-to-water setup—ensures that every building’s energy needs are met. This versatility is especially relevant since buildings account for 30% of total energy consumption worldwide.
Advanced Digital Solutions and Energy Management
Taking control of energy production has never been easier thanks to Dualsun’s advanced digital applications. These digital tools allow for real-time energy production monitoring, self-consumption maximization, and an overall efficient assessment of solar potential. The intuitive digital dashboard provides insights that help optimize energy use, making the solar system not just smart but also interactive and responsive. It is a dynamic approach that represents a natural evolution in the way energy is managed, blending robust technology with casual usability… This ensures that every user, regardless of technical expertise, can engage with the system effectively.
