Valoe Oyj and Simoldes Plásticos S.A., a Portuguese company and
an existing production partner of Stellantis and other European car
manufacturers, have signed the second phase project under the
existing Joint Development Agreement signed in 2021, for design,
development and prototyping of a photovoltaic car roof for
Stellantis. The second phase includes a prototype of an
industrialized solar car roof for a specific model. The partners
expect this stage to be ready during the third quarter of 2023 and
work together towards automatized production technologies to allow
for high-cadency mass production of solar roofs.
A full-scale car roof will be manufactured and integrated in a
demo car, fully functional and able to generate power to
charge the EV battery. Subject to successful completion of the
second phase the parties intend to pursue the manufacturing and
supply of vehicle-integrated photovoltaic car roofs and related
technology transfer.
Júlio Grilo, Research and
Innovation Head of Simoldes Plásticos S.A.: ”Simoldes recognizes
the great achievements with the results of the first phase and is
now ready to continue to invest in the second phase as part of our
company strategy to invest in sustainable mobility solutions. We
see the value of working with Valoe, a highly specialized company
in this sector. Valoe also shares our vision and has been a most
cooperative partner for us. By joining our skills and efforts,
together, we will be able to create a new type of photovoltaic car
roofs and to correspond e.g. to major OEMs requirements. We believe
that such a product will be in high demand by all major car
manufacturers in the next coming years”.
Iikka Savisalo, Valoe’s CEO: “It is rewarding
to see the progress we have made together with Simoldes during our
first phase and we are very happy with the results achieved. We
have made a long jump towards the overall goal of manufacturing
integrated solar car parts in partnership with Simoldes. Valoe
believes its flexible back contact technology and the powerful IBC
back contact cells are the reasons for being selected as the
technology provider by such remarkable and prominent company as
Simoldes. We estimate that the cooperation with Simoldes will lead
to a significant increase in Valoe's turnover from next year
onwards.”
