SolydEra’s Vision for the Future of Energy

Mission

The energy transition requires technologies that can decarbonize industry without compromising efficiency, reliability or economic competitiveness.

SolydEra’s mission is to accelerate this transition through advanced solid oxide technologies for efficient power generation and hydrogen production.

By combining deep engineering expertise, industrial scalability and operational excellence, the company transforms innovation into deployable energy solutions that help customers reduce emissions, improve performance and build more resilient energy systems.

SolydEra is committed to enabling the widespread adoption of clean energy technologies through reliable, high-quality and cost-competitive solutions designed for real industrial applications.

Vision

SolydEra envisions a future where clean, efficient and distributed energy systems become a core pillar of the global low-carbon economy.

We aim to establish solid oxide technology as a foundational platform for next-generation power and hydrogen solutions, supporting the decarbonization of energy-intensive sectors worldwide.

Through continuous innovation, industrial-scale deployment and strategic partnerships, SolydEra seeks to become a global reference player in clean energy technologies while creating long-term value for customers, investors, society and our planet.

SolydEra combines international expertise, advanced manufacturing capabilities and solid oxide technology innovation to accelerate the transition toward a more sustainable energy future.

The history

The first fuel cell production facility was established in 2008 in Mezzolombardo, Italy. The first micro-CHP system (combined heat and power) tested successfully in 2009. In the subsequent years, as part of EU’s fuel cell programme, systems were delivered to energy industry companies.

In 2013, with the entrance of international investors, the plant in Mezzolombardo was extended and the company name changed to SOLIDpower, S.p.A. In the following year, German CFC Ceramic Fuel Cells GmbH, producer of the BlueGEN SOFC system, was acquired. With this, Germany was added as a production, distribution, and service location. The technology and the production in Heinsberg were completely overhauled with SOLIDpower’s know-how.

Most advanced capabilities

In parallel, a new production facility and headquarters close to Mezzolombardo was established in Pergine Valsugana, Italy. There, Europe’s largest (6400sqm) and most modern fuel cell stack production is running. From 2016 onwards, high numbers of SOFC systems were installed at customers across Europe.

SolydEra possesses valuable IP (intellectual property) comprising its core technology. Eleven patent families are being owned in 34 key jurisdictions.

Presently, SolydEra is operating two subsidiary companies in Switzerland and Australia, and two production plants in Pergine and Mezzolombardo, both in Italy.

The customers and partners consist of international sub-systems integrators, industrial and commercial users both for power applications and hydrogen applications.

With more than 3,000 systems installed worldwide, over 100 GWh of electricity generated, nearly 100 million operating hours and 144 granted patents, the company continues to drive innovation in clean energy solutions.

Driving progress in the new energy era

The highly automated manufacturing covers all critical components, testing, and assembly. The production capacity amounts to 1 million cells per year, corresponding to 60 stacks per day, as the current industry record. Another world record of SolydEra’s is the 97% stack efficiency in electrolysis mode.

In 2022, as part of the implementation of the new strategy, the company name was changed to SolydEra, for reasons of risk of confusion with a US battery company and better expression of the mission and activity.

The brand name reflects that SolydEra is in the middle of a big, highly dynamic development in the global energy sector that is leading into a new era of energy provision. The basis is the advanced fuel cell technology and its capacity of hydrogen production SolydEra has at its disposal.

The motto “We stack it” signals SolydEra’s ability to develop highly efficient, cutting-edge, innovative, and practical solutions, whatever the customer demand and requested outcome/application of the fuel cell technology is.
