BeON: solar electricity for everyone
Located in Ponte de Sor, central Portugal, start-up BeON Energy wants to make access to solar energy "as easy as plugging in a television". She invented a ready-to-install kit consisting of one or more solar panels and a micro-converter, allowing her installation to be plugged into a conventional socket in order to directly use the energy produced or to reinject it. in the network. More than 100,000 kits have already been sold and the start-up aims to create true autonomous networks with a platform for energy exchange.

TWAICE: a virtual twin to optimize the use of electric batteries
With the electrification of transport and the boom of renewable energies, the electric battery market is booming. With its artificial intelligence software, the German start-up TWAICE offers a tool for monitoring the performance and status of the battery to optimize its use and extend its life.

SAUREA: an engine that converts solar energy and mechanical energy
SAUREA's autonomous photovoltaic motor converts solar energy directly into mechanical energy. The ring-shaped photovoltaic panel cyclically distributes the current in the coils of an engine thanks to a shutter pierced with openings and secured to the motor shaft. Very easy to use and requiring only low maintenance, this system eliminates the need for electronics and electrolytic condensers with limited life. The start-up based in Auxerre, in the Yonne, is particularly aimed at developing countries, where many infrastructures (pumping, irrigation, sanitation ...) are not connected to the electricity grid.

Mob-Energy: the electric charging station that comes to you
All car parks are now legally obliged to offer a charging service for electric vehicles. Not always practical for parking managers (places reserved, work to be done ...) or for users (compatibility issues, lack of available places ...). The young push Mob-Energy has therefore reflected on a completely new approach: it provides a mobile charger robot able to respond to commands and automatically connect to vehicles via a universal connection module. The start-up based in Lyon is for managers of public and private car parks (companies, airports, hotels ...).
