Solmax, a global leader in geosynthetic solutions, proudly announces the launch of GEOLUX®, an innovative product designed to significantly enhance the efficiency of bifacial solar panels. By increasing ground albedo to approximately 75%, GEOLUX maximizes solar energy capture, resulting in more efficient and cost-effective solar installations.
Building on Solmax’s four decades of experience in developing robust materials for challenging environments, GEOLUX is tailored for utility-scale solar farms. This groundbreaking solution not only boosts energy output but also reduces maintenance expenses by preventing weed growth under solar panels. Additionally, GEOLUX is fully recyclable, supporting sustainable practices in solar project management.
"GEOLUX provides a practical solution for increasing solar efficiency while managing operational costs," said Juergen Gruber, Marketing Director, EMEA at Solmax. "Our focus is on delivering reliable products that meet the specific needs of solar installations."
Gruber added, "The development of GEOLUX reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation in renewable energy. With its impressive durability and UV resistance, GEOLUX is designed to support the longevity and efficiency of solar projects."
With a service life of over 30 years, GEOLUX is engineered to last throughout the lifespan of a solar project. It is suitable for both new installations and retrofits, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.
