HOW THE ARC WORKS

The unique shape of the Solivus Arc has been designed to capture maximum light and energy from the sun throughout the course of a day. Creating maximum power output from a small area of land (footprint is approx 2mx2m).

We are working towards the Solivus Arc being able to produce 1000kWh per year. The solar panels are interchangeable, meaning that they can be upgraded as the solar becomes more efficient. When the Solivus Arc is officially launched the full generation estimates specific to each customer will be provided.

Installation

FAST AND EASY INSTALL

When the Solivus Arc is produced, our engineers will be able to assist with the installation process. As the Arc is ground-mounted it has the benefit of not needing expensive scaffolding to install it - unlike roof mounted solar, making the installation process relatively simple.

Another benefit of the Arc is that, as it will be easy to install, it will also be easy to remove. Meaning that your green power plant will be portable, making it an investment for a lifetime.

ARC FAQ's

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Most Common

How do I reserve an Arc?

If you would like to reserve an Arc to be at the front of the queue when production begins you can place a fully refundable deposit of £100 here. A refund can be requested at any time, it is not a commitment to buy.

When will I be able to buy a Solivus Arc?

The Solivus Arc is expected to go in to production next year where deposit holders will be given the opportunity to complete their orders and be given estimated delivery dates.

How much electricity does the Solivus Arc produce?

We are working towards the Solivus Arc producing approximately 1000kWh per year. When the Solivus Arc is in production, more detailed generation details will be made available.

What is the cost of the Solivus Arc?

While the Solivus Arc is yet to go in to production, the unit cost is estimated to be £5,000 not including delivery and installation. When the Arc is in production we will be contacting all deposit holders to provide full quotations and the option to complete their order.

How much will my installation cost?

Installation costs would need to be determined by a survey, the costs here are largely centred around routing of the cable from the house distribution board and the Arc location. When the Arc is in production we will be offering all deposit holders a survey to assess the property and installation needs.

Will payment plans be available?

Yes, details of this will be made available when the Solivus Arc is in production.

How big is the Solivus Arc?

The Solivus Arc has a diameter of 2 metres and a hight of 1.4 metres.

How heavy the Solivus Arc?

The Solivus Arc weighs around 160kg but can be separated in to 3 sections for transportation.

How is the Solivus Arc secured to the ground?

The Solivus Arc is sturdy in nature but will need to be anchored or fixed to the ground in case of extreme weather conditions.

To secure the Arc to the ground we use a security key to open the back panel, inside the back cupboard is the location of the fixings to the ground and also where you can place ballast (weights) instead.

How is the Solivus Arc connected to my home? Can it power my EV?

The Solivus Arc is not an EV charger. The Solivus Arc is connected to the home distribution board (fuse box), from here the electricity can be used to supplement grid power for your home and EV charger.

How long will the Solivus Arc last?

We are designing our Solivus Arc to last for at least 20 years and warranty arrangements will be in line with this.

Can I take the Solivus Arc with me when I move home?

The Solivus Arc can be removed by a qualified electrician, but it may need to be reinstalled by an approved Solivus electrician. It can be easily disconnected, dismantled in to 3 sections and reinstalled at the new property.

What they say

Solivus provided a complete solution. From engineering design right through to turning the system on. A really seamless installation that will save us hundreds of thousands of pounds over the coming years.

RAY PAYNE

CEO Northamptonshire Country Cricket Club

In line with our ambition to become a sustainability showcase for airports around the world, we’re proud to have partnered with lightweight solar technology pioneers, Solivus, to install one of the largest rooftop solar projects in the region.

SIMON GEERE

CEO Farnborough Airport

Rooftop solar seemed like the solution however, the weight of it [conventional solar panels] and the iconic curves on our infrastructure meant that it was a real challenge. Fortunately, Solivus had the answer.

ROB MARSDEN

CFO Farnborough Airport

We were impressed by Solivus and their innovative, lightweight systems, which can be fitted to the roof of our warehouse; space we previously thought was unusable. With Astute’s focus on energy independence and net zero focus, we’re looking forward to reaping both environmental and sustainability benefits over the next five years and beyond.

MARK SHANLEY

Sales & Marketing Director at Astute Electronics

There are 1,000s of buildings with roof space like ours that you can't use for any other purpose. This gives us commercial benefit, as well as reducing our carbon footprint so it’s worth considering.

JULIA CHAPMAN

CEO at Northampton Saints

It’s [modular cabin lightweight solar and battery system] been a success. As you can see, it’s powering the whole building and the [diesel] generator has hardly been in use. It’s something we’re looking forward to rolling out to future projects.
