Austrian company Sunbooster has obtained a European patent covering its vertical photovoltaic solution built for integration into fences, according to pv magazine. The protection now extends across 18 European Union member states, and the company is pursuing a broader presence in the French market.
The product consists of bifacial photovoltaic strips measuring 18.6 cm in height that slide into existing fence panels in place of conventional privacy slats. Each strip carries a rated output of 62 W at a 2-meter length or 79 W at a 2.5-meter length, with a reported conversion efficiency of 22.8%. The vertical orientation is intended to move part of the electricity generation toward the morning and late afternoon hours.
Yann Schremmer, who manages Sunbooster‘s operations in France, told pv magazine that the company is expanding its presence, especially in France, where it has already completed a first installation. That project involved a 20-meter section of solar fencing in Aix-en-Provence with a total capacity of 3.7 kW. A metalworking company supplied the system, which was integrated into the fence of a customer who wanted both privacy and electricity generation.
Pricing for residential customers is set at EUR619 for the 2-meter strip and EUR719 for the 2.5-meter version. Schremmer said the company deliberately set attractive prices for professionals so they can achieve high margins. Sunbooster plans to concentrate on building a distribution network made up of photovoltaic distributors, major retailers, and fence manufacturers.
The bifacial strips use p-type monocrystalline solar cells cut into quarters. They are designed for rigid double-wire mesh fences of 6/5/6 mm or 8/6/8 mm, inserted into the mesh and connected through MC4 connectors positioned on the bottom strip.
According to the manufacturer, the strips carry an IP67 protection rating and operate within a temperature range of -20 C to 60 C. Maximum system voltage is 50.16 V for the 2-meter version and 63.84 V for the 2.5-meter version.
