About Voltiris
Voltiris, founded by Nicolas Weber, Dominik Blaser, and Jonas Roch, is a spin-off from EPFL, based in Lausanne. The company has created solar modules made for greenhouses with plants that need specific light.
These modules use a large reflector to let the light plants need pass through, while redirecting other light to generate solar energy. This helps energy-heavy greenhouses run efficiently, sustainably, and without relying on the power grid.
