Voltiris is a legitimate Swiss agritech startup with high-potential technology (spectral filtering solar modules) verified by significant seed funding (~$5.3M in Jan 2025) and strategic partnerships (3M, EquityPitcher). While the submission contained inaccurate claims ('most people have used my product') and low-quality placeholder data, external verification confirms 12 commercial pilots and strong market timing. The project scores highly on utility and innovation, though the specific submission quality was poor.

Description
Agricultural greenhouses are key toward a sustainable food supply, however they have significant energetic needs due to heating and artificial lightening. There is a push from governments, retailers and consumers to reduce carbon footprint of greenhouses. Voltiris enables double-use of large greenhouses surfaces to produce electricity without impacting their high agricultural yield. Voltiris introduces a solar panel design to generate electricity from the part of sunlight's spectrum that is unused for crop growth.
