What PV Solutions does

PV Solutions Srls is an Italian innovative startup founded in 2021 in Mossa (Gorizia), Friuli Venezia Giulia, operating as a B2B energy equipment and specialized thermodynamic consulting company. It serves industrial manufacturing, ice rinks and sports facilities, indoor swimming pools, wineries, and food processors with the objective of reducing electrical energy consumption and CO2 emissions in cooling, refrigeration, and air-treatment processes.

The company's core offerings are three patented thermodynamic systems: RAMPA, an adiabatic cooling system for industrial heat exchangers that the company states saves up to 30% of electrical energy and operates at 3 bar without requiring demineralization or reverse osmosis; AIRA, a dehumidification and air-exchange apparatus for ice rinks, first deployed at the Palaghiaccio Claudio Vuerich in Pontebba during the EYOF FVG 2023 works, claimed to reduce CO2 emissions by over 60%; and Apparato Piscine, a patent-pending thermo-hygrometric control device for indoor swimming pools that activates dehumidification on demand. In addition to hardware, the company sells specialized consulting, process sizing, and engineering services across enological, food, and mechanical-industrial customers.

Revenue is generated through professional services (consulting and design), hardware/equipment sales of the patented systems, and patent licensing. The go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, relying on direct B2B engagement, regional innovation programs (Confindustria Udine StartUp Academy, Tech4I/Friuli Innovazione), and visibility platforms including the Premio America Innovazione at the Camera dei Deputati (2023, 2024, 2025) and earned media in La Repubblica and ZeroSottoZero. The company is privately held by founder Paolo Vidal, who contributes over 30 years of thermodynamic expertise and is the named inventor on all three patents.
