Our tests were conducted under various conditions, including different sets of regular and irregular waves, reaching a maximum wa

Our CEO Polina Vasilenko was invited to Sustainability Expert Forum in Paris organised by BNP Paribas CIB . Main outcomes: - Europe should use more locally produced products and be less dependent on China. At HelioRec we manufacture all the components of our floating system in Europe ( EMP ROTOMOULAGE ). - Technology will be key to the transition - businesses will benefit from both the digitalisation and decarbonisation of the energy system. - Biodiversity data is critical f

It was a great privilege to visit the South African Embassy in France and meet the ambassador - H.E. Nathi Mthethwa. South Africa is uniquely positioned to benefit from floating solar power plants: 1. Floating solar power plants utilize water surfaces, saving valuable land for agriculture, conservation, and urban development. 2. These floating solar panels reduce water evaporation from reservoirs, crucial in a water-scarce country. 3. Water cools the panels, boosting their e

We are thrilled to announce that HelioRec's groundbreaking floating solar technology has been honored with the prestigious "Solar Impulse Efficient Solution" Label by the Solar Impulse Foundation !
