A project backed by a committed ecosystem

1. A revolution for sustainable buildings

Turning unused facades into active infrastructure

BioSolaire.tech offers the first modular connected biosolar facade, a patented innovation for tomorrow’s buildings.

Building facades are unused square meters that strongly contribute to urban heat islands. They absorb heat during the day and release it at night, worsening urban climate conditions.

To address this, BioSolaire.tech developed an innovative, sustainable and profitable solution: the biosolar facade.

2. What is biosolar?

Vegetation and photovoltaics on the same surface

It is a pioneering technique that combines building vegetation with photovoltaic panels on the same surface.

This approach maximizes ecological and energy impacts while offering economic and social benefits. Each square meter of facade becomes a performance lever.

Thermal insulation Reduced heat gains and natural cooling according to the ICOME 2018 study.
Increased solar yield Optimized electricity production thanks to the cooling effect of vegetation, according to the PROOF CEREMA 2019 study.

3. A full-scale demonstrator

Measuring the innovation across the seasons

Installed in spring 2026 in Provence, southern France, our demonstrator features a 25 m² biosolar facade to measure thermal and energy performance and continue improvements.

The R&D brief aims to optimize the relationships between the facade components:

  • the optimal distance between the green wall and photovoltaic panels
  • the optimal spacing between photovoltaic panel rows
  • the optimal inclination of photovoltaic panel columns according to seasons and solar radiation

Innovative features
  • Two in one: plants + photovoltaic panels on the same space.
  • Modular: adaptable to every facade.
  • Connected: alert sensors for water shortage or malfunction.
  • Waterproof and root-proof: protection against water, air, radiation and root penetration.
  • Durable: lifespan over 35 years.
Ecosystem performance
  • Thermal insulation ≈ 8 degrees.
  • Solar electricity production ≈ 350 Wp.
  • Acoustic insulation ≈ 35 decibels.
  • Decarbonization: ≈ 6 kg CO₂/m²/year.
  • Ecological compensation, biodiversity and biophilia.

Especially suited to large industrial and service buildings, this innovation turns facades toward indoor comfort and energy autonomy.

5. Sustainability and circularity
